Website not connecting to paypal

[autographshed]

HI,

I've been trying to get my site to link up with paypal and have followed the instructions on how to do it however if i press confirm order it just says

Your order is being processed, please wait...

and then does nothing.

Am i missing something obvious?

What PayPal method are you using?

Standard IPN, Express, or??

Did you enter the correct information in admin > modules > payment > your method?

HI

it's just the standard IPN

So far all i have done is:

* set your Instant Payment Notification Preferences URL to:
http://autographshed.co.uk/ipn_main_handler.php
(If another URL is already used, you may leave it alone.)
Be sure that the Checkbox to enable IPN is checked!
* in Website Payments Preferences set your Automatic Return URL to:
http://autographshed.co.uk/index.php...eckout_process


it does say further down:

**Port 80 is used for bidirectional communication with the gateway, so must be open on your host's router/firewall
*PHP allow_url_fopen must be enabled


Now I'm not sure how to do this,is it automatic?


thanks for your response

[kobra]

In the admin > modules > PayPal IPN - Website Payments Standard >
Is:

Enable PayPal Module > set to true?
Business ID - did you enter your paypay account email address?
Mode for PayPal web services > set to your locale?

Thanks but all those are at the correct settings.

i've just noticed that i get the same problem when selecting cheque/money order as well.

Check for allow_url_fopen in your Zen Cart

admin > tools > server version info > and at Configuration - PHP Core you should find allow_url_fopen and see that this is "on". These are in alpha order

Hi Kobra

Yeah that setting is on.

Any more ideas?

I really appreciate your help

... if i press confirm order it just says

Your order is being processed, please wait...

"Where" do you see this message? That's not a Zen Cart message.
Perhaps your problem is on the PayPal end?

Right here is a step by step process that may give you a better idea,thanks for the help so far.

Did you download and install the cart? What version are you using? What addons are you using?
