We are having problem with adding Paypal worldwide standard to our Magento store. When we enter our credentials and press safe configuration the settings are in the greenbar Saved. But they are removed and nothing is saved in Magento. There are no errors on screen or in the logs when this happens. The site has been upgraded from 1.7 to 1.9 a few months ago we didn’t use Paypal at that moment. We have tried changing our currency and tax settings already has anyone seen or heard from these issues and potentially has a fix or workaround for the base magento paypal setup?
It seems like your database upgradation is not properly done.
Check your PayPal details in core_config_data table.

Since this week the forwarding to our site after payment does not work anymore in production mode, while it still works within the sandbox.
Actually we use PDT for the direct forwarding and IPN as backup. For some reason the payment is not finished fully. There seems no PDT or IPN connection to be established from PayPal since beginning of this week.
A payment from March 9th was successful, but all payments since March 11th are marked as successful on the PayPal page, but our site "does not know it", so customers don't get their accounts updated.
When trying to track the bug, I switched to the sandbox, but there everything works fine there.
Has PayPal changed something recently? (The design during payment process ist now, but I don't know since when...)
Thanks!
The biggest downfall with PDT is the message is only sent once, where as IPN is repeatedly sent until the server responds with the correct message. You can run both, but from my experience it is very uncommon (and I build eCommerce systems for a living). Recently a lot of my company's clients who run PayPal as their payment method have come to us with a similar problem (even more so with RBS WorldPay). And the solution has been to try the following:
Confirm that the IPN listener URL is still working and pointing to
the right site (some people try to use one PayPal account for
multiple sites, and change it to the 2nd site not thinking it will
stop IPN for the 1st site).
Make sure the latest version of the PayPal gateway is installed (if
on OpenCart / WooCommerce / Magento / etc...). The latest version
requires SHA-256.
Ensure the server has SHA-256 enabled, as above PayPal is now asking
users to make sure they have it for the hashing to work.
Ensure that an SSL certificate is installed. It is not yet a certain requirement, but in this day and age if you don't have one, you are not likely to get many orders. Also for some strange reason it has fixed IPN for some clients.
Hope this helps!
I have been working to move my production site to 1.9.2.1, so I upgraded my staging site and everything went seamlessly. Granted I am not a huge fan of the new email template and having to use a cron job to send emails (which was another problem I already solved).
After upgrading staging to 1.9.2.1, I went to System -> Configuration -> SALES -> Payment Methods and immediately a popup window appears (shown below).
After receiving this error, I tried to re-enable my Paypal Payments Pro (Express Checkout) but it was already enabled. So I try to Save Configuration and when the page reloads the popup appears again.
I also tried to re-enter my API Settings with no luck.
Note: Before I went to System -> Configuration -> SALES -> Payment Methods my Paypal Express Checkout button was showing as usual. But now after travelling to Payment Methods, the button is not showing anymore. Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to test to see if it functioned before I went to Payment Methods.
Has anyone else had this issue when upgrading from 1.8.1 (or any version) to 1.9.2.1? If so would you kindly respond with a fix, or point me in the right direction? If you need any more information, I would be happy to assist.
This week we now have an issue with our prestaship website. When we go to check out, it will not transfer us across to paypal at the appropriate time. We receive the following message:
Error occurred:
Please try to contact the merchant:
<b>PayPal response:</b>
->
Please help since Paypal is our only method of payment so this is a big issue for us.
Yes, it is because of the Bug in SSL 3.0. Older prestashop modules are affected, the tricky part is, that the paypal module does not show any update in the backend.
You have to download the newest module version on the addons from paypal.
http://addons.prestashop.com/en/payments-gateways-prestashop-modules/1748-paypal.html
The SSL 3.0 support was initially planned for december the 3rd, but I believe it was delayed until 12.1.
I am facing issue in viewing my sandbox's merchant history. Had tried to search on google but was not able to resolve my issue.
When I try to check my Merchant A/c history its getting redirect to main Paypal site every time.
But when I check for my Personal A/c history is working fine.
Did anyone faced this issue?
Could anyone please guide me where I am going wrong.
Regards
Himanshu
It is part of a known issue mentioned here:
PayPal Sandbox history redirects to REAL history
I'll be updating that thread when the problem is resolved. You can also create a ticket and mention the ticket number on that thread, I'll grab it, and keep you posted as it goes on.
I've installed virtuemart 2 on joomla 1.7. Usually, there are pre-installed payment mthods you can enable to accept payments on your website, but vm 2 has nothing. I thought they would atleast have paypal. It seems like the framework has changed because the VM 1 version of any of the payment gateway modules do not work. I've searched the net for individual downloads of payment gateway modules for vm2, but I cannot find anything, not even paypal. Does anybody have a link to a working payment gateway module for vm2, it doesnt matter which gateway it is, as long as it works?
VirtueMart 2.0 was released without PayPal or many other extensions. Given that it's a complete re-write and aims to use Joomla!'s MVC and framework as much as possible, it means that payment, shipping etc all have to be re-written as Joomla! plug-ins to work.
VirtueMartt 2.0.1 is in development and due out shortly it includes the first Payment plugins including PayPal. You can read more about it here.
For future reference the best places are the VirtueMart Extensions Directory (which appears to show several working 2.0 payment plug-ins). You can also discover new VirtueMart extensions is the Joomla! Extension Directory (JED)
Planetauthorize provides a free module that supports VirtueMart 2
http://planetauthorize.com/virtuemart.html
That page only has a pdf for the VM 2 link.
I'm also looking for a paypal payment extension for VM 2
You have to install the AIO modules, and enable them in the extensions menu in joomla. Some payments options include paypal pro , and paypal normal.
Best Regards.
There are already 4 plugins of vm for payment in vm2. They are now installed in joomla plugins folder under vmpayment. To use them simply click new in the vm2 admin and select payment method as VM-payment paypal.
Hope this helps.
