Question about paypal IPN website payment standard

[tommy9177]

i've finish the install as the instruction said. but the orders status still showing Processing at the moment. what should i do or just wait for it been actived? THX

"Processing" means payment has been received and the store owner is processing the order.

You, as the store owner, get to update the status to something else while you're processing the order. It does not update automatically. That's entirely up to you.

If payment hasn't been received yet, the order would usually be in "Pending" status.


If you find the names of the statuses confusing, you can change them in Admin->Localization->Order Status.

You didn't answer either of my questions.

I'll answer it since I see the same issue on my site.
It has the icons that show we accept:
Visa, MC, AMEX, Discover, Paypal
Then when you click continue checkout it takes you to the order confirmation and then to the paypal website.

I only gives you an option to login to paypal and does not allow to just pay with a credit card. In addition, how can I change all the info to show my business name versus the emai address?

PayPal is the safer, easier way to pay

PayPal securely processes payments for [email protected]. You can finish paying in a few clicks.

Why use PayPal?


- Use your credit card online without exposing your card number to merchants.
- Speed through checkout. No need to enter your card number or address.
Sign up for a PayPal account and continue checkout.

I see the same issue on my site.

I'm not sure you're talking about the same issue ... theirs seems as though there is no payment choice on the checout-payment page, meaning they can't even get to the Paypal site via checkout ... whereas you are saying you are getting to the PayPal page but you don't like what you see there.

er, Paypal
Then when you click continue checkout it takes you to the order confirmation and then to the paypal website.

I only gives you an option to login to paypal and does not allow to just pay with a credit card.

There are various possible reasons for that:
1. You've already logged into PayPal on your computer, and thus PayPal put a cookie in your browser indicating that you obviously have a PayPal account, and thus they see no reason to offer *you* the screen which lets you pay without an account. They just give you a login screen at first. There is a link on the page to allow you to choose another view.
If you delete the PayPal cookie from your browser's cookies, then the PayPal screen will show on your computer as if you'd never used PayPal before, thus allowing you to create a PayPal account and enter your credit card details.

2. In some countries, PayPal doesn't let customers pay without creating an account. Only PayPal can explain that list of countries and the reasons why.

3. If your PayPal account settings don't have the option set to "Allow purchase without an account", then that option won't be presented to customers. If I remember correctly, you must have a PayPal "Business Account" in order to see this option.

In addition, how can I change all the info to show my business name versus the emai address?

If you upgrade your PayPal to a "Business" account, then it will display your Business name. Until then, it displays your account's email address.

Thank you very much.
It fixed itself with a change in email address. Originally I had an email address that I thought I will use, but I set up the paypal account with a different one, so that's why it was a mess.
Need to make sure that the email address is correct on the paypal setup within zencart.

Yes, that's always a good idea.
