Stock by Attribute v4.0 addon for v1.3.5-1.3.9

Yes the full information is in the Paypal Email, including the attributes.
After looking at the orders over the last 24h, I can confirm that only the orders that were paid via paypal fail to update the attributes, the ones paid via other methods (none of which use an external website), all work properly.

What's the business reason for not using PayPal Express?

You say you get the PayPal email, but your store is supposed to send out an email as well, is it not? Do you receive that email when someone pays using PayPal Standard?

No business reason, just haven't got around to it yet. I certainly will do it as soon as this issue is sorted.

Yes I get an Email from both the store and paypal, both contain all the details and attributes.

Right now I'm thinking that the problem would be resolved by using PayPal express, so perhaps at an impass...

It certainly gives me reason to re-consider the use of the session to store the functions that are used again and again, but generally speaking PayPal standard is discouraged in favor of PayPal express for a number of reasons.

In order for me to rewrite the code to not use the session style, I'd have to do a good bit of testing because the leap from before to now was easily made but going backwards in that regards and not having everything offered up as an extra function (ie. Compartmentalizing the code so that is possibly less of a system burden means a decent amount of verification.) it's also not something that is going to be revised overnight.

Again, considering that the only identified (as of the last 24 hours) possible consistency has been the use of PayPal standard, my suggestion would be (whether there had been a problem or not) to use PayPal express if PayPal is going to be used for a general store.

Does Paypal Express still allow you to pay with a credit card directly (using the paypal gateway, not a paypal account), or only payment with a Paypal account? This is important to us, as we prefer not to use another site just for processing credit cards.

I'll certainly install Paypal Express and test it, hopefully it will resolve this issue.

Just in case I did not mention it earlier, I really appreciate the time and effort you've spent helping me, a big THANK YOU from me!

So I recently saw someone say that when using PayPal express with in context payment that possibly the customer was forced to have, get, or use a PayPal account, because of a setting in the code that supposedly (per a PayPal tech) is no longer required to be set/written the way it is. That said, in my testing with PayPal express, I have been able to select/enter a credit card without being required to have, get, or use a PayPal account. Of course they want you to create/have/use one, but doesn't mean they necessarily limit operation to its use. Oh, and my testing included full use of PayPal in context.

As for the assistance, hopefully you understand also that I sort of have a vested interest in it working as written. Any and all that have chosen to use it are likely questioning it's operation at the moment and why questions have been asked to be answered. The less people to which the issue applies, the more at ease they are to be. Mind you I have pushed some minor changes to github, just in case there might have been something odd with the queries (ensured a space to each side of an equals when dealing with a SQL script.), I hadn't pushed the execute query changes from earlier yet to the master because they didn't fix the current issue, therefore I didn't see a necessarily good reason to clear the cache for those two items. At least not yet. :)

I'm happy to report that it appears to be working fine now, when I replaced the old Paypal module with the Paypal Express one!

Glad to hear/see! And thank you for reporting your finding(s) on both sides of issue found and a solution that works!

Depends on which Paypal you are using.

There is Paypal paments (what you traditionally think of as Paypal) and then there is Paypal Merchant Processing.

Paypal Merchant Processing (ie: PayPal Payments Pro) will stay on your site.

Paypal Payments (like Express Checkout, or the very old PayPal Standard) will take you to Paypal. Once on Paypal you can either use your Paypal account or just enter a credit card.

I installed the 1.5.1 version on my 1.5.1 Zen Cart. I can create quantities for attributes in admin but when viewing the product it states that it is out of stock when it is not out of stock. I have synced the quantities and they are correct.

Any ideas?

Sure that all parts of the software were installed, and I assume (right or wrong) that the github version was used? Regarding the install, were files "blindly" replaced, or where the file existed were the changes made for SBA incorporated into the existing file(s)?

After/along with that: please identify the characteristics involved: ie. one attribute (option name) or more than one? Are the default settings for dynamic dropdowns being used? Out-of-stock, showing where? Each attribute? Full product? If the product is showing out of stock I'd be surprised as nothing really is modified that would cause that.

Might have more questions, but answers to those should at least guide to something.
