Paypal IPN orders not being relayed to cart or emailed to owner or buyer

Linda,
You're absolutely right - I had a couple files that were in the wrong directory. Thanks so much. Hopefully the cart will now start recording my e-checks.

I uploaded the latest update and finally got a pending echeck from PayPal. Unfortunately no email notification through our zen-cart and no record of the order in admin. We did get PayPal notification of the payment.
All regular PayPal payments are fine.
Should I have uninstalled and reinstalled any of the modules when I uploaded the last update?

I'm having the same problem - I get a notification from paypal saying there is a pending e-check. However, the order isn't being recorded in zen cart. So when the e-check clears - I don't have an order to approve. Any ideas?

I have read all the previous posts and hate to make this any longer but I just set up PayPal IPN and am getting the following message on the Log:

IPN NOTICE::Got past language loads

Have triple checked the module and paypal configs and they are correct. I have 2 other Zen Carts running fine with the Pay Pal IPN on the same server.

Pretty much straight v1.3.7 install.

Although emails are sent from paypal confirming the order to both the seller and the buyer, no order is added to admin.

It appears that ipn_main_handler is being contacted, but no data is getting inserted.

Any ideas?

I quadruple checked and ran a test order through the Paypal IPN. (it was a live transaction)

Customer receives email transaction confirmation from Paypal
Merchant receives email payment confirmation from Paypal
Customer is redirected back to the zc confirmation page

Everything works fine except nothing shows up in any of the order or paypal tables in the database, yet no errors are being thrown during the query.

Help...!

VOILA!!!

Dr Byte has a post with a patch link. It worked for my paypal IPN!

Paypal IPN orders are now being put in the order database and all is working fine.

If you are having the same problems with v1.3.7 as I was above, here is a link to the fix that worked for me.

Thanks All.... ron

I applied this patch. All regular PayPal payments come through fine. It's the PayPal echeck orders that do not appear in admin.

OK I keep doing the patches and following the instructions and no pending paypal payments are coming through. Regular paypal fine. Pending at paypal with paypal email but it does not show in admin.
I did the 2-15 patch, installed express, updated, and set it to not show. Just received a echeck through PayPal and no admin record. I have not done the 2-19 patch yet but I see nothing mentioned that would resolve this.
Am I the only one still having this problem? If so what am I missing?
Thanks

You're not alone 13moons. I've just had this e-check issue reported to me by a client. IS the latest patch supposed to take care of this?

No, this has not been resolved yet... Working on it ...

Thanks for that DrByte. I shall pass that on.

I'm curious -- has anyone with a 1.3.7 installation gotten eCheck orders into the admin through the PayPal IPN? I'm in the same boat -- PayPal IPN works fine except when the customer pays with eCheck. When I called an eCheck customer in LA this afternoon to find out what he ordered (I called after his eCheck cleared), he mentioned he would be placing more orders with us in the weeks ahead. I gather he'll want to pay by eCheck again, so I'm eager to hear how this one progresses.

Godspeed, DrByte. :smile:

Don't know if this helps or hinders in the fixing, but my client was using Paypal Express.

Is there a way turn off PayPal echeck until this is fixed?

Good thinking, Ryk. I too don't know whether it helps, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't hinder. So for what it's worth, my site uses PayPal IPN and not PayPal Express.> Ryk:

There you should find a checkbox to "Block payments from users who pay with eCheck for website and Smart Logo payments, or German bank transfer for all website payments except eBay." I have not tried, but if I wanted to disable eChecks, this would be my first guess.

Just checking in to ask how repairs are coming on the PayPal IPN module. Has anyone heard anything? Does anyone need help testing? I feel like a concert violinist in an operating room. Should I go boil water? :dontgetit

I've been waiting for this one too - I believe they're working on it. I temporarily turned off the echeck option (hopefully we don't lose any customers). I look forward to the fix!

Patch posted today which addresses echeck issues vis a vis PayPal IPN payment module (v1.3.7)

Thanks Doc! I just installed the patch, but testing is hung on eCheck not showing up on the PayPal order page. I'm not familiar with eCheck in general, but noticed "where available" text following the list of payment options on the first PayPal page. Since I don't have eCheck disabled in my PayPal web payment preferences, is it possible eCheck is unavailable because my billing address is in the wrong state? > DrByte:

Does installing this patch retrieve existing lost PayPal ECheque payment/s?
If not, how to retrieve..either before or after installing patch?
TIA
