Joomla AEC issue with Paypal, possibly IPN - joomla

I installed the Joomla AEC Version 1.0, Revision 5149.
I have set up plans and everything in this matter, if user clicks on the create an account system will ask user to select the plan. Then user clicks on buy now, she goes through Paypal, Purchase get made (Subscription with 3 days free trial) then user get redirected back to the site which all works fine.
My problem is user will see the message that says "Thank you for your registration. Our system will now await your payment. You will receive an e-mail once our system has processed your request. ". site will never get the clearance from Paypal. I havent put any custom custom URL or anything like that.
Also site is in the staging. so the URL starts with http://staging.domainanme.com
Not sure if this will cause an issue.
Thanks

With AEC it is quite simple with a Paypal Subscriptions processor. You just need to put in the email address of your account at:
Processors -> Paypal Subscritions -> Business ID
Not sure if that will be the same with 1.0 as this is based on 1.2.
If you have a valid account that's all you need. Of course make sure you have assigned the processor to your plan.
So if this all checks out one other thing you can try. If you were using the paypal account before with some other domain then switch to staging.domainname.com then you might want to try adding the Alternate IPN Notification Domain. Find this at:
Processors -> Paypal Subscritions ->Alternate IPN Notification Domain
In here put exactly http://staging.domainname.com
UPDATE:
The problem is Paypal communication then. First remove the Alternate IPN Notification Domain setting in AEC that I suggested. That was just for testing.
Either Paypal email is not confirmed so the communication fails or the communication can't be established.
Assuming you are using Paypal Standard, go to Paypal and login. Check in this order:
Click on Profile. Does the email have "unconfirmed" beside the email? If it does then that's your problem.
Go to Profile -> My selling tools -> Instant payment notifications. Click update on the far right. Enable it and add a new notification url. It should look like: http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_acctexp&task=paypal_subscriptionnotification
Just another thought. Paypal doesn't enable Paypal subscriptions when you sign up for Paypal Standard. I can't remember exactly when/how that was done but I remember that a separate step was needed. That could also be the cause of this issue.

Magento-paypal payflow-pro- test credit/debit card works with live mode

I have configured Paypal Pay-flow Pro, and live mode is set, but when I use test card details for any card type then it accepts it and successfully checks out.
When I have set Payment Action -Authorization in admin payment settings then it works fine, but not when Payment action will be Sale.
CC.php from model file of payment has been overwritten and changes are below :
$info->setCcCidEnc($info->encrypt($info->getCcCid()));
This line is uncommented in prepareSave() function.
What is the exact issue here, I am unable to trace it!
I have got response from paypal support team and they had an issue whereby some of the processed transaction is not appearing in their PayPal account.
their developers fixed it and it's working properly now.
I am posting answer so it may help someone in future.

Virtuemart email notification not working

we re using Virtuemart2 with joomla for our eCommerce website,if we are using the standard payment in virtue mart, both of the vendor and shopper gets their email notification properly.But when we using MIGS payment we didn't get the email notification.
Thanks,
This problem normally occurs, when the setting for the order status after the payment is not set properly inside of the payment configuration.
Inside of the payment configuration, the standard statusses are "pending", "confirmed by shopper" and "confirmed" and so on. If it is a payment system like Paypal, where the payment is finalized right away, the returning status should be "confirmed".
In VirtueMart configuration there is a tab where you can select the statusses at which to send a mail. I think, the tab was called "Checkout". In VM 3.0.14 and above, the tab is called "Emails". Here you have to adjust the settings according to the status after payment(s).
Please keep you VM at the latest version 2.6.22, and Joomla at 2.5.28 including the fix from 21st Dec 2015 to address all security issues.

Magento + Paypal - order status stuck at "Payment review"

I am currently testing the PayPal functionality. I added all the appropriate config information, and the purchase is working perfectly.
Going into the admin panel, all the orders have "Payment review" status (they were made either today or yesterday).
My question is - is it normal to last this long ? If it is, how am I supposed to properly test. If it's not, can anyone give me any tips on how to debug this issue ?
Any information on how the process goes from this point on would be highly appreciated. Anticipated thanks.
Check the PayPal account that you made the purchases on. Do they show completed in there, or do they say pending? If they show completed, it may be possible you did not receive the IPN to update your cart. If they show under review in your test sandbox account, you may have payment review turned on. You could need to go into the details of the transaction within your test sandbox account and manually accept the payment. You can also turn payment review off if it is on. You just need to log into your developer account at developer.paypal.com, click on test accounts. You then should see a column for payment review. If it is enabled, you will just need to toggle it from here.
Since this is quite popular with Google I will add my solution here as well:
I had noticed that many payments would still have the "Payment review" status even after I disabled payment review in my sandbox account.
Turns out that if a payment is made in another than the sandbox account's default currency, it is automatically put into the "Review" status.
To turn this feature off, log into your sandbox account under https://www.sandbox.paypal.com and go to Profile -> More Options -> Payment Receiving Preferences. There you can change the setting for "Allow payments sent to me in a currency I do not hold" to auto-accept such payments.
My problem was transaction status said "Paid" in merchant test (Sandbox) account but IPN response I received had payment status "Pending".
For a new user like me, it was hard to find out how to accept a payment manually when "payment review" is turned on. It took hours for me.
To make it easier for others,
Go to transaction detail -> Click on "More Information" link. Go to bottom of the page. Here you will find "Accept" link just above "Return to My Account" button. Click on "Accept" link and transaction status will change to "Complete".
After that I received IPN response with payment status "Completed"
I hope this helps someone.
This query solved it for me in case of Amazon Sandbox orders which left opened transactions. These popped up in the error log with
The OrderReferenceId XYZ is invalid
each time with Magento's cron scheduler. Basically the same as for Paypal and all other external payment methods which have a sandbox mode:
UPDATE `sales_payment_transaction`
SET `is_closed`=1
WHERE 'S02-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX' IN (txn_id, parent_txn_id);

How do I turn off PayPal IPN in Magento?

When people make a successful payment with PAyPal in my Magento webshop it automatically creates an invoice with unique invoice number. For bookkeeping reasons, I have to disable it.
I've been searching for a few weeks now but I still haven't found the solution for this problem. What I know so far is that this is caused by IPN. The problem is I don't know how to turn this off without damaging my shop or paypal payments.
Some more specs:
- Version: Magento 1.6.2.0
- Standard paypal
Files containing IPN:
www/app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/controllers
"Turning it Off" is sort of vague, but there's no configuration setting on the Magento side that will allow you to accept PayPal standard payments using the IPN system but not create invoices. You're looking at writing custom code to do this. Here are some starting points.
PayPal IPN works with a callback URL. That is, once PayPal has processed a payment, it fetches a specific URL from Magento with a specific set of data in the post field. Then, based on this information, appropriate action is taken (an invoice is created, a credit is issued, etc.). So the quickest way to achieve your goal would be to change the IPN URL in your PayPal configuration. This means PayPal is still notifying a URL, but not the Magento URL, and an invoice never gets created.
If that doesn't work or has unacceptable side effects, here's the code points you're interested in. Assuming you're using a standard Magento PayPal setup with an IPN URL configured at
http://yourstore.example.com/paypal/ipn/
Magento will handles this request with the indexAction method in
#File: app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/controllers/IpnController.php
public function indexAction()
{
if (!$this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
return;
}
try {
$data = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
Mage::getModel('paypal/ipn')->processIpnRequest($data, new Varien_Http_Adapter_Curl());
} catch (Exception $e) {
Mage::logException($e);
}
}
The business logic for this method (including your invoice creation) starts in the paypal/ipn model. In a standard system this resolves to the class at
#File: app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Ipn.php
class Mage_Paypal_Model_Ipn
{
....
}
Trace the code from here to find the method you'll want to rewrite and implement your desired functionality changes (not creating an invoice). Your best bet will be setting up a PayPal developer sandbox account so you can repeatedly hit the URL until you've traced your code to the right spot.
Good luck!
instead of hacking your core Magento files, just turn off IPN within PayPal.
By default, there are three states for PayPal IPN:
On
Off
Disabled
The first option will let you specify an IPN URL within your PayPal Profile, and you'll have access to 'IPN History' under the 'History' tab. All IPN data for your account will be sent to the URL you specified, unless you override it with notify_url / NOTFIFYURL on a per-transaction basis.
The second option will turn IPN off on your account, but you can still use it by setting notify_url / NOTIFYURL on a per-transaction basis. This is what Magento uses.
The third option will stop generating IPN messages for your account, even if your shopping cart (Magento, in this case) specifically asks for IPN messages by sending notify_url / NOTIFYURL. No IPN messages will be delivered whatsoever.
To set IPN to 'Disabled', first set it to 'On' in your PayPal account and provde a URL to an IPN address (though this can be any address, just enter http://www.google.com/ for example).
Once enabled, look for the option stating 'Stop receiving IPN messages (Disable)'. Use this to disable IPN altogether.

If I got you right, you should change Payment Action to Authorization for your paypal payment method. See more info there:

What I’ve been really surprised by over the past few weeks is the number of sites that don’t actually have this turned on and it’s just not limited to self-builds even the really expensive Magento builds are missing this out this as a step.
Turning on the PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN for short) is an excellent idea as means that when a customer pays for an item using PayPal then the payment information will be updated on the Magento order details in the administration panel.
It only takes a few moments to enable and I’ll show you how to enable IPN for your Magento site below. This will mean that when you receive an order via PayPal Express for example, you can actually see the transaction details in Magento and if you’re using eSellerPro and have the eSellerPro Connector enabled for sales order processing, your order & payment details will match up automatically.
Setting this up won’t take more than a few moments and here are 6 simple steps to do this:
1 Login to PayPal
2 Hover on “Profile” and select “My Selling Preferences”
3 Halfway down the page, click on “Update” next to “Instant payment notifications”
Now enter the following details:
Notification URL – This is simply http://your-magento-store.com/paypal/ipn/ replacing “your-magento-store.com” with your website address. <= This is the part that normally trips everyone up as they’re not sure what to enter here.
IPN messages – Set this to “Receive IPN messages (Enabled)”
Press Save
That’s it job done.
To test whether IPN is working or not is dead simple, just make a test transaction through your website (you will need a secondary PayPal account for this) and a few minutes later, check on the order in your Magento admin panel has been updated with the PayPal transaction details.
To help you, I have put to images below, the image on the left has no IPN details, the image on the right does.

Magento, PayPal, and PayPal IPN - no event fired when an order is successfully placed

My module needs to know when a success checkout has occurred. So, in accordance with what I have read in various places, I listen out for the events checkout_onepage_controller_success_action and checkout_multipage_controller_success_action. That's fine, when I pay with a dummy credit card on my dev site, one of the above events is fired. But I wondered what happens if I pay with PayPal, so I said up a PayPal dev sandbox to test it out. Examining the http traffic, I saw that a notify_url was sent to PayPal when the order was placed. That was promising - when the paypal/ipn action is called from PayPal, the PayPal module will, if a 'completed' status is received, fire the checkout _xxx_controller_success_action - right? Wrong.
My module relies on knowing when an order is successfully placed, so I am looking for advice on the best way to tackle this issue please.
I'll just add a little bit about my environment here in case it is relevant.
I am running Magento 1.4.2.0 on my laptop. When using PayPal Standard, a notify_url is sent to PayPal which overrides any set up in the PayPal account. I am testing from my laptop, so the notify URL passed to PayPal is not accessible from the PayPal sandbox. So I changed the notify_url to point to an accessible JSP that just printed out the notification it received. I then give that parameter string to a little Java program I run on my machine which posts it to the original notify_url (.../index.php/paypal/ipn).
Thank you.
This is an old post but still a relevant question. We successfully used event checkout_onepage_controller_success_action (which is used by Magento core GoogleAnalytics extension) to observe successful PayPal Express orders (and also checkout onepage orders). Event sales_order_payment_pay did NOT fire for new orders.
I was having the same trouble - try using the sales_order_payment_pay event instead - it worked nicely for me
