Can orders be stored on server before paypal payment is completed?

I've read a few threads about how PayPal doesn't always connect properly to a shopkeeper's ZenCart site upon completion of payment, causing the payment to be recorded, but not the order itself. I'm guessing that, sometimes, the users themselves are not bothering to wait for the return, and, in fact, some have told me so.

As such, has anyone figured out a mod that would store the customer's order in some fashion when the user clicks the Confirm Payment button that brings the user to PayPal? It seems to only keep it in the user's cookies because I can't locate it in the database itself. Even better, if such incomplete orders could be marked as "paid" by the admin, that would be even more fantastic.

Thanks!

They are stored, but encrypted.
There is a "push orders" addon kicking around that has helped some people push orders into the database. Use at your own discretion. Be careful not to push abandoned orders in. Make sure you have payment before you ship!

Thank you,

I just saw the PayPal Session Viewer which should do this as well. It seems as though it has a rather big install. Hoping it works!

I can't seem to find a way to delete this duplicate. Grrrrr.

That PayPal Sessions Viewer / Push Orders addon is great and did just what I needed it to. Thanks so much!
