PayPal Auto Return and PDT Issue

[Ryan]

I'm using PayPal Website Payments Standard - IPN and ZenCart 1.5

Through my website I purchase an order and let PayPal auto return me to my website and everything is fine - success.

Now if I make a Paypal payment and decide to choose the redirect to website link option (after the payment) it is sending me to the this link:

https://www.domain.com/index.php?mer..._charset=UTF-8

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

What am I doing wrong?

use Express Checkout instead

[Ryan]

Can you give me any more of a reason than that?

Is the module buggy? Have you seen this problem before?

I never even considered the express option before. I take it that it does everything the IPN version does then?

I'm currently using PayPal as my only payment method, but I do intend to add more down the line. I also want the general shop layout, rather than an express button.

Thanks

You REALLY SHOULD USE EXPRESS CHECKOUT!!!
But, if you insist on using the older technology of Website Payments Standard, follow these instructions:

My eyes have been opened. I thought it was just a simple button approach before.
