I have a HUGE Problem with my cart....

**wolfsz** · 14 Oct 2006, 12:41 AM

Hi again
I think I have fixed my setup. The issue was that I had a wrong email address in Zencart. The email in Zencart was a valid email but not my primary email address I use in PayPal. Out of some reason it was working for a while but suddenly stopped.

i've called my host and paypal.
all seems to be working fine on their ends.
ALTHOUGH, paypal is doing some "updates"
(anyone remember the great paypal outage of 02??? yea good times:/)
and they said they would call me back in 24-48 hours; then i threatened to dump them and go strictly with a merchant account & she said she would red flag my ticket....
so i URGE EVERYONE who is having this issue to call paypal. they changed something with their "updates".. had to have.

i've also changed my email addresses to match my primary account.
read all related threads here... everything "looks" good. but it still isn't functioning.

~and i should add all of this started yesterday after 10 months of it all working perfect.

I am having the same problem starting yesterday...I have talked to two other with zencart and same issue...it appears to be spreading.

my setup is fairly standard 1.27 running great for the past 1.5 years up until yesterday.

any help would be appreciated ( dont tell me to upgrade though ;) )

thanks

check out this thread
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...&highlight=ipn

i think it helped me!
i went into my paypal settings and discovered that IPN was switched off.
??
i haven't changed a thing.

i've tested & i've had someone else test and got email notifications & it is being recored in "orders" (the ones from the past 24 have yet to show up...)

the orders placed when the IPN was turned off wont appear unless you do something to trigger the ipn

refund 1 cent on those otders

Hello all

I am having the same problem:

I'm being notified of payment/order from paypal, however Zen cart does NOT register ANY order, nor does it email a copy or notification of order to me.

Help

take a look in the wiki,
if you are using anything but 1.3.7 things need to be setup exactly for IPN to work and thats IF paypal is actualy working right
