Help with paypal please

[anitalee]

Hi,
Sorry I am totally lost and I thought to this point I was doing pretty well, lol. I went into the payment module and installed Paypal and went to my paypal site and did what those little instructions said but customers have no payment options that show up, what else do I need to do so that they can pay?

Thanks
Anita

Ok, I figured out it was th shipping option that was missing and I got it working now I think. But it did not give me an option to download the product how do I set up the products to give them a download link?

I am assuming you are using Zen Cart v1.3.0.2 ... or about to run out and upgrade after a good backup of your database and website as soon as you finish reading this post ...

The Downloads are controlled based on the Payment Module orders_status setting ...

The defaults are set in the Configuration ... Attribute Settings ... and seldom should ever be changed ...

Payment Modules set to orders_status >= 2 (Processing) and <= 4 (Updated) will immediately be available for Download ...

This is good for things like PayPal ... note: this should already be configured smart for you ...

CC you might set to Pending ... as that is a manual Credit Card ... but Authorize Net you might set to Processing as that is an Automatic approval ...

Check/Money Order you might set to Pending as you don't have money in hand ...

Thanks that helps, I was thinking I needed to set to delivered for it to download. I am still totally lost though, just cant seem to get this to give a download. Practacing with a free prodcuct, close to giving up for a while.

Thanks so much,
Anita

Make sure that if a Free Product is being tested that you have the Zen Cart Free Charger installed and set the Orders Status to Processing (orders_status 2) or Delivered (orders_status 3) so that the Download is available immeditately ...
