My First Sale!!! Paypal IPN worked but...

Made the first sale off my zencart (yay!). This thing works!

OK, I'll stop gushing. They used Paypal IPN, paid with credit card as non-paypal user, and it worked great. Only one small glitch, the product title in Paypal shows up as the zenid, rather than the product title from my zencart. Is this normal?

Using stock zencart 1.3.7 with my own template. The only patch I have applied is PPEC-137-patches-June17.zip.

After this patch was applied Express did not work, which is why I switched to IPN. I kept getting the message on Paypal that "this transaction is invalid" when using Express.

Thanks.

Tim

Re: My First Sale!!! Paypal IPN worked but...

When making transactions via PayPal IPN, the "description" of the purchase will be "My Store Name Purchase" and the item number will be "Store Receipt".
So, yes, what you saw is likely normal.

Re: My First Sale!!! Paypal IPN worked but...

I have made my first test payment.
It works, wow, but...
The transaction in PayPal does not provide buyer's address.
The transaction info in ZenCart seems not too saturated:

Is this normal?
TIA
