Most likely you are using the PayPal Website Payments Standard module, and haven't properly configured your server and your store and your PayPal account so that PayPal can talk to your store to tell it about new orders. That's the old way PayPal can be used to "bandage" payment into a store.
If you want a more reliable way, where PayPal completes the transaction immediately while the customer is still active on your site, simply switch your store to use the Express Checkout module instead. Then you won't have the symptoms you're complaining about today.

Re: Customers receive an order confirmation email!

I didn't say anything about "pro". I said Express Checkout.

"Pro" is a completely different product, which provides a different service, and has additional fees associated with it. I wasn't suggesting that. (You can use it if your site has SSL and you want to offer that product, but that's outside the scope of this discussion.)

"Express Checkout" is the more modern version of "Standard", hence the recommendation.

Yep, thanks for the help:)

But now I wonder: possible to change paypal button?
