My PayPal IPN echeck orders not completing

[DrByte]

Right... it appears I didn't have that patch installed?!?!?!, but I do now and it seams to work fine! - thank you-

When I received my email from paypal saying I had paid I got this:

Order Description: MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PURCHASE_DECRIPTION_TITLE

Thats not right is it???

You missed the language file when you installed the patch.
Maybe it didn't upload completely?

I have checked this and still no luck?!?! this only started to happen since the patch was installed.

In your /includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php file, do you have this near the bottom of the file?

  define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PURCHASE_DECRIPTION_TITLE', STORE_NAME . ' Purchase');

If you don't, then add it. It's in the language file that comes with the patch, but if you've uploaded it and it's not there ... then ... well ... add it manually.
Have you made any other customizations to your paypal.php language file ?


(and, yes, for those reading this who notice the misspelling of "description" in the name ... it's fine ... it's consistent, and will be renamed in a future update. Don't "fix" it or you'll bust things elsewhere)

Many thanks, that worked a treat... it now shows the 'Store Name Purchase'
Thank you

I thought I would give you an update on my fix.

After running the patch from July on my V1.3.7 Paypal stopped working altogether. However, I then downloaded and installed V1.3.7.1 and everything including echecks is now working properly.

I found one thing after the version upgrade. I'm not sure if the patch download that I got was incomplete but when I went to configure my Paypal email address I noticed an item called "PDT Token (Payment Data Transfer)" which did not show up after just installing the patch.

So my advice to anyone else having this problem is to just install V.1.3.7.1

Godaddy has a “CURL proxy”, stuffed up my sites…
If you have a Godaddy server and "if your page times out it may be because CURL timeouts that suggest DNS or firewall problems"

Paypal express checkout will not work on godaddy servers unless you change your site in accordance with DrByte post that talks about GoDaddy and CURL proxy setup:

I'm using zencart 1.3.7 with the latest paypal patch.

I received an echeck payment today that didn't give me any store notification, all I got was a confirmation from Paypal, this is the first echeck I've recieved so far.
I didn't have the bug files turned on but I have since turned them on & attempted to test another order but Paypal seems to be failing, I wasn't even redirected.

Here's a copy of the error log:

OK, I just got another echeck paypal payment. No order in my cart. I see the payment in my paypal account. I have the debug files.

Dr Byte, you can download the log files as you requested. I will PM you with the location.

BTW I noticed that I had the Instant Payment Notification Preferences ON. I use this PayPal account with two different websites and I realized that the return path was set to the other site! I guess this does not help ether.... I turned it off for now.

[mydanilo]

Now I'm confused, will the PayPal IPN still work if I set this in the pref in paypal profile.

Instant Payment Notification (IPN) Off
Instant Payment Notification (IPN) URL: (blank)

Will I still receive payments in paypal but no notice gets sent to my cart about the status? I guess this would be ok if I at least would see the order in my zen cart!

No .. if you are using the IPN module in Zen Cart, then you need the IPN service turned on in your PayPal profile.
Otherwise you'll never get anything back in Zen Cart.

[mydanilo]

OK, I will set it to ON.

But leave Instant Payment Notification (IPN) URL: (blank)
Correct?

Otherwise I can't have tow carts using this account.

[mydanilo]

Btw, the log I made accessible to Dr Byte are from before I changed the settings.

So I will set IPN back on and do not specify a return path...
