PayPal Module Not Creating Pending Orders In Admin

[bitznbytes]

Hi, using the PayPal option in my OScommece, but when someone logs in and buys using paypal, in my admin, my pending orders will not show anything. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Using the orginal paypal module will do this if the customer does not click the return link to your site at the final paypal page. Upgrade to the paypal IPN module.

hi,
thanks for the advice however, I can't seem to find the 'PayPal IPN module'? Would that be a contribution? ALSO, would the following changes in my PayPal Account work instead?
1. Login in Paypal
2. Select Profile
3. Select Website Payment Preferences
3. Turn on AutoReturn to website
4. Insert return to website address: https://domain.com/catalog/checkout_process.php

Thanks again for any advice.

No autoreturn will not work. You need the paypal IPN module:
osCommerce: osCommerce PayPal IPN Module v1.0 For 2.2MS2

thanks for your help - I'm currently installing it. Quick question if you don't mind though.....

After installing it, and enabling the 'Live Server' do I have to enable or configure anything else either in my PayPal account or in the modules to ensure that all client payments and orders are properly tracked in my 'pending orders' section?

Thanks,

Read the instructions included with the mod, I believe it explains what needs to be set up and how to do it.
