[what44]

if someone pays via pay pal express and doesnt click the 'return to merchant' button and aborts at this stage. and doesnt go back to zen cart and confirm payment. will that transaction fail? i want to make it so they dont need to return to the cart again after paypal. aprt frm using ipn is there anything i can do?

If you're using Website Payments Standard (aka PayPal IPN module), there's nothing you can do.

... unless you want to try to convince PayPal to change their policies.

what i desribed above is express not ipn. i want ipn to work and no one can help me. i found a thread that relates my exact problem to changing the meta tags to custom tags. dont knw why this would affect it, but it does.

If your customers go to PayPal via Express Checkout and don't click "Continue", then they'll never make the payment. They also have *NOT* paid if they don't come back to your site and complete the order.
If your customers are aborting during that stage, you have a different issue.

Sorry, there's nothing that can be changed about having customers go-to and come-back-from PayPal. That's just the way it is.

is it better to use paypal pro now that u have released the new zen cart? or do that work inthe same way. i really dont want customers having to go back to zen cart after they have entered their details on pay pal? thanks

PayPal Payments Pro is only for collecting credit card details.
It doesn't let customers pay from their PayPal account.

Plus, if you use Website Payments Pro, you still have to offer Express Checkout.

Because those are PayPal's rules.
