PayPal - auto return to the website

[tparvaiz]

Hi,

I am trying to configure PayPal to bring my customers back to the website once the transaction has been completed...

I've gone into PayPal's Profile -> Website Payment Preference... and checked Auto return ON and as per the instructions from zencart, I've provided following Return URL:

http://gpakistan.com/index.php?main_...eckout_process

I've noticed that there are some instructions documented on PayPal's website asking me to ensure that the return URL displays a transaction success message... here is the exact note

"you must provide verbiage on the page displayed by the Return URL that will help the buyer understand that the payment has been made and that the transaction has been completed.
You must provide verbiage on the page displayed by the Return URL that explains that payment transaction details will be emailed to the buyer."

Can anyone please confirm that by providing Return URL, my website will automatically display the transaction success message...

Thanks in advance

If you're using PayPal Express Checkout, which you should be using INSTEAD of the PayPal Website Payments Standard module, you won't need to worry about the Return URL setting at all.

I am using express checkout...

should I go back to PayPal and turn auto return off...?

Thanks

You can if you like. It's irrelevant either way.
