Paypal payment not clearing shopping cart

**davek** · 19 May 2007, 06:48 PM

Hi all, I've used Zen Cart before but never encountered this problem. With a new install, after completing a payment with paypal, when returning to the site the user's shopping cart is still full. It clears if you logout. I need to put this in production asap but can't figure this out, is there a setting I've missed? Paypal payment status is being reflected properly in the admin and showing payment received.

Are you using Zen Cart v1.3.7? Have you applied the latest PayPal Patch for 1.3.7? http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...216#post365905
Would be wise to activate PDT as well, as explained in the May 10 patch post.

Hi DrByte, thanks for the quick reply. I haven't installed the patch yet, will do so immediately and test it out. Thanks!

Hi DrByte, I did the patch, removed then reinstalled the PayPal IPN Module, but the PDT field doesn't show up. I am not using https, and not using the PayPal express setup, is that required? Updating the module didn't fix the problem I had before unfortunately. Thanks for your help.

If you installed the May 10 update and you have no PDT field in the PayPal IPN module configuration settings in your ZC admin, then you installed it incorrectly.
Check to be sure that your FTP program didn't skip any files, and that you put them in the right places.
Once the correct file is in place, you'll need to remove and re-install the IPN module and configure it.
The PDT setting is near the bottom of the list when editing settings.

Thanks for all your help, in my tiredness to update, I grabbed an older version of the patch. After paying attention, I grabbed the correct version and installed correctly!
Thanks again!
