Which Paypal Plugin ?

Hi,
First of all, I wish you a very Happy New Year !

I'm trying the paypal feed for a new site through the Paypal Sandbox. It seems to work except for two things:
- no email is sent after the return to our site
- the “Paid” status is inactive, and I have to manually set it (and still no email is sent).

As for the emails, I should point out that for offline donations everything works perfectly.

So, I'm wondering if I've got the right Paypal plugin for our needs, but I'm a bit lost with the different Paypal plugins. I don't know which one is right for us: the one that comes with JOOMDonation? JD Paypal Pro? JD Payflow Pro? JD Paypal Standard Checkout?

We're using our Pro Paypal account to receive donations, and we'd like to offer the option of a one-off payment (by Paypal account or credit card) or a regular donation. Ideally, we'd like the “Paid” status to be automatically activated in JoomDonation once the payment has been made.

Can you give me some advice or point me in the right direction to solve the problem of email in test mode?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
Christophe

Hello Christophe

It might happen because PayPal IPN is disabled in your PayPal account. Please:

Follow the instructions at developer.paypal.com/api/nvp-soap/ipn/IPNSetup to enable PayPal IPN in the PayPal account which receive payment on your site. PayPal will ask for IPN URL, simply enter URL of your site into that parameter

After that, try to make donation again, make payment, and let us know the result. If it still doesn't work, please submit ticket in category: Joom Donation and send us super admin account of your site so that we can check and correct it for you

Good evening,

Thank you, that's a good idea. Paypal's IPN is activated but points to the current site, not the test site I'm currently developing.

I'll do a test by changing the URL address to point to my test site.
I'll keep you posted on the results of my tests.

Best regards
Christophe
