Orders not showing in Admin

Hi,

I have setup a digital download store for a friend. I can get the order placed all the way through to paypal and back to the site to download from the site without any issue. However the order does not show in admin any where. I have checked all setup and downloaded the paypal log files from debug (see attached). Also how do I change it so that the customer receives an email with the link?

Thanks, Martin

I have also had this problem. I am not using authorize.net and am not using eletronic downloads.

I see the Aim_Debug in the cache folder which is correct, but the database doesnt seem to record it for some reason. Still trying to find out what is wrong (it was working before).

After checking the IPN test you seem to have server time out issues

IPNCHECK.PHP - Version 1.0

IPN TESTING - POSTING to PayPal via: ssl://www.paypal.com:443

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

Try having your host raising your Execution time and see if that helps, most likely your site is timing out when PayPal does the return on the payment.

Hi,

thanks for the above. I have raised a ticket with my hosting company. Will let you know the result

Thanks, Martin

Hi,

been advised by my hosting company to use CURL. Please can you advise how to set this up

Thanks, Martin

Martin,

Installing Curl would be the responsibility of your host if you are on a shared hosting plan. If you are on a dedicated server that is a different story.

Hi,

I have emailed my hosting company. They suggested I should do it earlier, however I have sent an email off to confirm. In the meantime can you advise how I should setup the curl script

Thanks, Martin

The IPN processing logic in Zen Cart was not written to use CURL.
It uses the PHP fsockopen() functionality.

Changing that will require custom coding.

If you need a different host, there is a link to a list of Zen Cart Certified Hosts at the top of this page.

I am not sure why your web host is saying to install CURL in the first place even though it is recommended to do so for other functions and has to be installed by your web host.

The PayPal IPN in v1.3.x doesn't use CURL for anything

You need to make sure your server can receive communication from PayPal, as well as initiate it: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/PayPal

If your host will not help you I would recommend looking for a alternative hosts that is willing to help you right off the bat.

Hi,

my hosting is on a shared server and CURL is installed I have been advised. Is it easy to modify the code to get paypal working?

Thanks, Martin

PayPal Express Checkout works with CURL.
When using Express Checkout, the IPN communication is used only to tell your store about refunds and cancellations, so you can probably live without your host fixing the fsockopen problem on their server.

Hi,

what other payment modules would work with CURL? Just trying to explore all possibilities

Thanks, Martin

The following are known to use CURL:

Linkpoint-API / Yourpay API
Authorize.net AIM
PayPal Express Checkout
PayPal Website Payments Pro

Thanks, do you happen to know if google checkout would work?

Thanks, Martin

There's an addon for it. Some like it. Some find it problematic. You'll see it discussed in the Addon Payment Modules area.
