How to turn status from "created" to "confirmed" ?

Greetings,

I maked several tests with paypal and I saw that "created" order status do not turn "confirmed" after paypal payment process is finished. How to turn "confirmed" automaticaly after paypal payment conclusion?

Thk.

You have to activate "IPN" in your Paypal account.

what is the URL i need to set to paypal can notify me?

When you turn on IPN on the Paypal, it want to fill the URL field. I fill with this value that i have found on the forum:

http://YOUR_WEBSITE/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=checkout&task=notify¬if_payment=paypal&tmpl=component&lang=YOUR_LANGUAGE

Of course, YOUR_WEBSITE and YOUR_LANGUAGE was correcty replaced. But it dont work for me!

What is wrong? I want to receive paypal confirmation and the "created" status turned to "confirmad" automaticaly.

Thk.

Thanks, the problem is solved!

The problem was: "the menu on the checkout is not accessible to non logged in users.". Just switch item menu to public and all is working nice.

Hi,
I've the same problem.
I've tested the IPN url
http://YOUR_WEBSITE/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=checkout&task=notify¬if_payment=paypal&tmpl=component&lang=YOUR_LANGUAGE
in the paypal sandbox and it works, but I don't receive the payment email notification nor the order status is switched to confirmed.

The sandbox account works when I test other sites paypal plugin, so there isn't any restriction.

The option "allow payment notifications from paypal" of the PayPal is turned on and checkout menu item access level is public.
Yes, also the plugin access level is settled to all.
I've even disabled falang language switcher (even if I run a Joomla 3.0)

The Paypal plugin haven't any debug mode (if I don't miss it), not in the plugin itself nor in the Hika config payment method options so I can't have a log

What else can I do?
Thanks in advance

Hi Nicolas,
the website is not in maintenance, of course, and here below you can find the .htaccess (it's the joomla's default, I only added the instruction to run PHP 5.3).

The payment log file is empty. I read the list in that page dozen of times.
I'll re-check everything tomorrow morning.

The strange thing is testing the IPN url from the paypal sandbox it works...

here you are with the .htaccess. Please, let me know if you see something strange.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nicolas,
I reinstalled the component and now it works.. don't ask me why, I don't know. I didn't touch a single line of the code.

By the way, the apache access log was empty and I cannot find the debug mode in the plugin, not in the plugin itself (joomla-extensions->plugin->hikashop->paypal) nor in Hikashop->generalconfig->paymentsystem->paypal->settings. Where is it?

Thanks for the help!

Hi,
You'll be able to check your payment log file through "Hikashop->System->Configuration->Main" by using the "See the report" button of your Payment log file option.
