Payments

Developers, we need to connect the paypal payment system, so that the payment is made on the paypal website. Not a plugin. How to do it?
Today, no one wants to fill in the payment information fields on the site side anymore. Because there is an easier way.

When you use PayPal, users will be redirected to PayPal for processing payment. They won't process payment on your website, so I don't understand exactly what's the issue here?

By clicking on the button - buy. The browser should open the PayPal payment page.

No, users need to enter some data on subscription form before they are being redirected to PayPal. They won't be redirected to PayPal immediately when click on Sign Up button (if it works like that, the system could not collect information for the subscription to create user account...)

Oh sure. You're right.

Great .

Hi,

We're having two issues with the PayPal feature that comes with Membership Pro:

We recently had a user try to subscribe but it failed.  They filled out the form and it opened PayPal as usual, but it appears that PayPal was having system issues and the transaction was not completed (we received no payment).  The user now shows up in the subscriber list as "Pending" but they did not pay, and they did not receive our activation email.  The user cannot simply try again because we have already recorded their email address as the username.  We need some sort of automation that catches these incomplete sign-ups and informs the user that they can try again.  It would be best if this does not require Admin intervention.

I cannot find any documentation for the use of the PayPal feature of Membership Pro.  Our developer noticed that we have the PayPal IPN set to "yes."  He thought it should be set to "no," but do not know for sure if that is the right setting.  Should this be "yes" or "no"?  Is there a default setting, if so, what is it?

Your help is appreciated!


 

Hello

1. You should switch to use this setup membershipprodoc.joomservices.com/faqs/e...ccount-automatically . That will prevent user accounts from being created before users complete payment. So if payment is failed, no users account will be created, and they can subscribe again

2. It should be Yes, don't set it to No

Hello Tuan,

1. If we set Membership Pro to approve sign-ups automatically, then we cannot send the user an activation email (which we want to do). We want to send the activation email in order to help stop fake spam subscribers. Someone could fill the form, not pay, and hit Submit, and they would automatically get an account and be able to log in without paying. This is an issue for us because the paid product is the site content (forms, articles, etc.), which is behind the registration.

2. On our site, Log IPN messages is currently set to "Yes." But - the tooltip for the field says the following:
Log IPN messages - "This is only used for debug purpose when requested. Please set it to No unless requested by our support team."
Could you explain why this should be "Yes" so I can let my developer know?

Many thanks.

Hello

1. As I said, if users don't pay, the account won't be created. So don't worry. Give it a try and you will see

2. If it is inside os_paypal payment plugin, you can set it to Yes or No. It's not important
