PayPal RESTful API Payment Module

[chadlly2003]

Just verifying that the payment module (paypalr) creates two entries in the paypal database table upon order creation, one with a txn_type of CREATE and another that depends on whether the transaction was treated as a Final Sale (CAPTURE) or Authorize-Only (AUTHORIZE).

That is correct. Why two entries though? Almost look like a duplicate order.

Because the payment module logs each transaction with PayPal.

Note, too, that there is a customer-visible order_status_history record that identifies the PayPal transaction id ... it's just not sent as part of that initial email.

Hello there,
Nothing wrong with module I Think, but just wanted advice really. Instinct say to void / cancel the order.

Got this message for first time ever via Paypal Checkout, the order with same card ending has gone through:-

A credit-card payment was attempted with a fraudulent card from IP address

It is to USA and postage is about £12 tracked for a £2.75 item. Which to me seems a little odd anyway. Though perhaps they are testing the water.

That email is sent by the payment module if PayPal reports that the card is fraudulent; an email is also sent if PayPal reports the card as stolen.

It's probably safer for you to void/cancel the order since it appears that the 'customer' is testing stolen cards.

Thanks for that. Yes kind of obvious I know, but as it was first time I saw it, wanted to double check. Will cancel it, cheaper than a possible chargeback for sure. Nice feature also!

I tested the upgrade. The only thing i found when the button is in the cart page the paypal button does not calculate. It ask you to put in the total.
The example i posted in a previously does calculate the cart.

Also note this module does not play nice with firefox. I have mentioned this before but have not really come up with a good solution. Anyone else having issue with this module in firefox.

For now i just went back to paypal express that seems to be fine on all browsers.

I don't understand "when the button is in the cart page the paypal button does not calculate", which 'button' are you referencing?

I'll note also that my primary browser is Firefox and I've had no issues with the payment module using that browser, Chrome or Edge (I don't own any i* devices).

PayLater Messaging- On the Shopping Cart page, the PayLater messaging should display an offer based on the total value of the items currently in the cart when the PayPal message is clicked.....

Just like the Paypal Messaging for the Product Page. Thats works just fine

This weekend I am going to dig into this paypal issue I am having. Not really sure why i am having these issue
I think its could be a browser setting or Server issue - too be continued
