[tamalita]

Admin Area of your shop:
-> Modules
-> Payment
-> PayPal IPN - Website Payments Standard
-> [Edit]
Debug Mode:
(o) Log and Email

Hope that helps.

Untill this is resolved I've installed the Paypal sessions viewer: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...products_id=84

When you get an email from paypal saying you got paid go find the order in here and push it through. Then it shows up just like a normal order, the customer gets their email, and rainbows fall from the sky.

Same thing started at my site at around 4:00 in the morning, It has been working great for the last two and a half years then suddenly bang it stopped working. I have been pulling my hair out all day over this issue trying to figure it out. Glad I stopped by here, now at least I know it isn't anything I can fix.

I for one got tired of waiting, disabled the Website Payments Standard Module, and implemented PayPal Express. It was pretty easy following the instructions on this site and I've been up and running for hours. It's really not that much different to my customers except they have the option to log into PayPal before they place their order, and they can still pay with a credit card without a PayPal account.


I'm confused why nobody else has done this, or if I am just missing something. Regardless, I am receiving orders and might just keep things this way! I've wanted to implement the Rewards Point module anyway, which doesn't work with PayPal IPN.

I tried doing this myself earlier today and my test subject reported that when he tried to use this paypal method when he clicked confirm order he was sent to paypals homepage and was unable to get his order. I had no record in the admin screens of anything even happening.

I'm not sure what you mean "the customer was unable to get his order."

[CJPinder]

Enabling PDT in the PayPal IPN module should allow orders to still come through while IPN is down. Unless PayPal have messed that up too. Haven't had a chance to test it yet though. I normally keep PDT switched off because it can cause duplicate orders.

I sell digital downloads. since the order didn't show up in the store. the customer was not able to download the goods he purchased and I had no record of the transaction.

Heromorph, do you have record in your PayPal account of receiving payment? Does your test user have record of paying? I'm sorry for the questions, but I'd like to help you since it's working for me and I'm a little confused on what really happened at "the end."
