Site not giving order number or showing orders after payment

Try uninstalling Standard and use Express instead, and see if the problems go away. There's no reason I'm aware of to use Paypal Standard any more.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your advice, I switched over to express checkout which has come with it's own set of problems.

I'm now getting the error message:

An error occurred when we tried to contact the payment processor. Please try again, select an alternate payment method, or contact the store owner for assistance. () - (7) Failed to connect to 66.211.168.126: Permission denied

From having a look around I think this is more of a web hosting/server issue that a Zen Cart one. I'll check with the server admin and go from there .....unless it's not a server issue when further advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Why is that? Can you please explain. You mean Paypal Express can accept credit cards from customers who do not have a PayPal account? I've only always used PayPal standard.

Yes, that is correct.
