Paypal - Order Status - Processing

[DrByte]

The order status for both of these reads "processing".

If you're referring to the "order status" column on the list of payment modules in your admin area (Admin->Modules->Payment), that text is only telling you the status that you have the module set to use for transactions completed using that module.

ie: If you have PayPal Express Checkout installed, and you have its order-status setting set to "processing", then when someone successfully checks out with the PayPal Express Checkout module to pay for their order, their order will be set to "processing" status.

You, the storeowner, control what status each order is in once it's received, as well as updating it by hand whenever you do something to the order, such as ship it, etc.
