TOPIC: PayPal return - Page never updates (Sandbox)

First, thanks for a great component!

I have installed the component, set up a button, have paypal in sandbox mode and used by sandbox accounts.
The transaction completes fine, but up on return to site the page that says "Don't leave until verified" never updates, order doesn't show and no email is delivered.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

First of all Thank you!

Now, can you make sure you have enabled IPN in the sandbox account?

Log on to your Paypal account.
Click Profile under the My Account tab.
Click My selling tools. Click "Update" in the Instant payment notifications section. Click Choose IPN Settings to specify your listener's URL and activate the listener.

The address is http//yoursite.com

Can you do that and test again? Thanks!

Changed setting, (You have turned on the IPN feature. You can view your IPNs on the IPN History page.)
Set Domain to correct value.
Still says "Your order is not confirmed yet, this page will refresh in 5 seconds! Please do not navigate away from the page until we receive your order confirmation."

Hi there,

I think I replied over email but can you update me on this?

Have you enabled it both in live and sandbox mode?

If you need you can test with live transactions at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for the amounts of $0.01 USD.

Thanks!

The problem sometimes is that the IPN from PayPal sandbox is delayed with minutes sometime up to a hour or two.

That's why for faster testing you can try live with small amounts.

Thanks!
