We are not getting order confirmation email if customer placed an order through PayPal in Magento site. But we get the invoice and shipment mails.
We set Sale : Payment Action in PayPal configuration.
So once we create the order, along with the order email [it's not going to the customer] I want to send invoice mail also to customer. i=I think this extension will send invoice only once order status become complete.
Would SMTP extension work for us?
Is there anything else we need to do?
I'm using Virtuemart 2.6.20. The payment method is paypal standard
When I place order, it redirects me to paypal gate. If I cancel the payment, it goes back to website and the order status is changed from pending to canceled. But when I make payment (completed), it doesn't go back to website and order status is not changed to "comfirmed"
You would need to enable Auto-Return in your PayPal account, check this out for details: Paypal settings for order auto-confirmation after payment (j2.5/vm2.x)
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);
I'm running Magento CE 1.7 with Paypal, eway and sagepay as payment gateways.
If a customer at checkout stage chooses to pay via eway or sage pay for example and then decides to cancel payment in order to choose Paypal, an error pops up after clicking process order. The error is: "Unable to process the order". and subsequent tries to pay via paypal are refused.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Have you checked the exception.log file? Is this message presented on magentos onepagecheckout or in paypal?
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.
