    Default One customer complaining that PayPal doesn't return to confirmation screen

    We've been using PayPal Express Checkout successfully since January 2010.

    This week, one customer continues to have issues and documented their process. Apparantly PayPal is not returning with the proper context to get to the "Step 2 of 3" (promo code) screen.

    Any suggestions on how I can help them out?

    This is their (edited) sequence, obviously Step 8 is broken:

    4. pressed 'add to cart'
    5. pressed 'PAYPAL'
    6. logged into my PAYPAL account
    7. pressed 'continue' in PAYPAL after checking my address details
    8. arrived back at SF mag which asked me to log in - logged in
    9. was taken to 'Featured Products'
    10. no more buttons on the page so went to menu bar above and tried 'checkout'
    11. 'shipping method' page came up - pressed 'continue to check out'
    12. arrived at payment info window with credit card option, but NO PAYPAL
    13. I could proceed no further without placing credit card details in the boxes
    14. went back to 'shopping cart'
    15. pressed 'go to checkout'
    16. arrived at 'shipping info' page
    17. from there arrived at payment window page with credit card option but NO PAYPAL

    What Zen Cart version?
    What "Payment Zone" do you have set inside your ZC Express Checkout module? If it's not --none--, why?

    Sorry for the lack of details.

    Zen-Cart 1.3.8a with the stock payment modules.

    PayPal Express Checkout:
    Payment Zone
    United States

    User says "On my mac I am using Firefox version 3.6.8 and on my iphone I am using Safari version 5"

    ..although I never asked where they were paying from or billing/shipping to. Would that just come back so oddly?

    Oh, I misread your question. It is not --none--, why? Why not?

    I just found the wiki that says to leave it as --none--, but I've never heard or seen anyone complaining about geographic issues/errors. I can try that.

    If you've got the module restricted to only show when the customer's selected address is within a certain zone, then it's very possible that the reason why it didn't show PayPal on the payment options page was because the address at that time wasn't within the allowed zone.

    I've set it to --none--, but the user might go ahead with a credit card directly.

    Thanks for the help.

    Well duh, if they had told me they were in Australia I might have guessed myself. Working now.
