Checkout Paypal Redirect Not Working

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.idesignorkney.co.uk/webdev/
-- HikaShop version -- : 1.5.6
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.8
-- PHP version -- : 5.6
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : No error message to display. The error must be something with the script.

Hello,

Good day!

I tried to read many forum articles here about the Checkout Paypal not redirecting but still no luck and tried my best and still nothing happened.
Hopefully you can help me with this issue. .

When you add items to the cart: www.idesignorkney.co.uk/webdev/index.php...rsonalised-calendars and proceed to checkout and click "Next", the paypal loading option still displaying, but after that, the cart became empty and I receive order notification but the page does not redirected to paypal, so the customer can't pay the said cart. .

I tried updating the hikashop version but the layout messes so stick with the current version. It works before and wondered why it does not work anymore

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

pass: tester

Thanks. .

Hello,

Thank you for your reply and help. No files are edited. I also viewed the paypal._end.php and the codes are still the same. I also tried to disable the script to not submit the paypal automatically and just click the "pay now" button, but instead, the cart becomes empty and I am redirected to empty cart page and need to add products again. Is there a possibility to not empty the cart? I can't find the exact code and I want to disable it. .

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your reply. . I now followed the steps (please see attached)

Hello,

Thank you very much. Unfortunately, when I changed the status, I only got a "Thank you for your purchase" message and not redirected to paypal. I've been trying to solve the issue but I still can't fix it . . I tried uploading a new paypal plugin but it's not working right as the hikashop version is a bit old.

I now updated the hikashop to the current version, but the custom fields are not showing: www.idesignorkney.co.uk/webdev/index.php...rsonalised-calendars , do I need to purchase a business pro as what stated in the attached screenshot?

Hello,

Thank you very much. . I now sent an email. . I also re-installed the webdev site to use the old version of hikashop, since the custom fields option is only available in business pro.

Looking forward to your reply regarding my email and issue and hoping the paypal issue will be fixed.

Thank you very very much. . .

Hello,

Good day!! First of all, thank you very much for looking at the website. . Very much appreciated. I indeed followed the steps before, like adding the paypal url and email but it does not work well, so I updated the hikashop and the paypal payment worked fine. But the newest hikashop version does not allow custom fields to be displayed on free version, so I reinstalled the site again and did not enter any info in the paypal configuration anymore.

Now, I tried putting info again in the paypal configuration field using different email address and it's just weird that it worked now. Before, it worked well without any info in the configuration. Not sure if it has something to do with the email address that I input since there's no note or error that the email is wrong, as it does not redirect to paypal.

In any case, I hope this will work from now on.

Thank you very much for your help!!!!!!!
