Paypal Website Payments Standard IPN No customer Orders Help Please

Hi, I set up my cart for payments with Paypal Website Payments Standard IPN. Here are the steps I took to set it up. https://www.customprintablecards.com is my site.

Installed paypal in zencart
I set the IPN in Paypal to: http://customprintablecards.com/store/ipn_main_handler.php
Added my PDT Token to Zen Cart, enabled is True and IPN in Paypal is enabled.

I tested my attributes and a product for payment. The payment notification from Paypal came to my address fine. however, when I tested the payment, it did not direct back to my Thank you Page on my web site to confirm there order. It was just a blank page. I did add that Thank you page url to my paypal redirect.

I went into my admin and I see that the paypal module still says Processing for the module after setting everything up in zen cart and paypal.

As for the attributes, I have set up shopping carts several times in the past but this is the first one using attributes. It is a form. I have it set up with zen cart paypal payments to accept detailed line items in cart and was assuming that this would be the info from the attributes. I didn't receive that info in my payment email. My photos upload fine to my uploads folder but I am uncertain where my attributes put the info upon payment.

One last item: I do not see the order in admin in the orders. There is nothing there. My orders.php file Is to long to add here and won't attach as an attachment. I hope I was descriptive enough, but please advise if you need further info. Thank you so much in advance for any help you can give me.)

Switch to the better "PayPal Express" module
Just setup in the admin and scrap your custom pages

Re: Paypal Website Payments Standard IPN No customer Orders Help Please

The symptoms you describe are very typical for the IPN module. Something is preventing your store from receiving the IPN, thus it can't process it, and thus it can't store the completed order.

Use Express Checkout instead and you won't have that problem.
