Hi, I have followed the instructions here: http://manual.amember.com/PayPal_Standart_Plugin_Configuration But when I make a test payment on my site, it says that the account is pending, and does not become active. There are no error logs, which makes me think that the email is not being sent. I have a business PayPal account. What might be going on? BTW, I double checked the simple stuff like Merchant ID email etc. and everything looks good. Please help, Zachary Miller P.S. I can provide whatever info you need.
PayPal Have you made sure your PayPal account is activated? PayPal deposits 2 small amounts into the associated checking account. Then you have to activate. If you have activated, you plug your information into aMember. Mine worked like a charm. Another thing to look at is IPN only works with certain account types. You may need to upgrade your account to business. Hope this isn't just stating the obvious, but thought I would put in my two cents.
Could be that your SSL is not enabled in your server's CURL configurations, as per: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=98168 Quick fix: Go to Setup/Configuration Click on PayPal Link (top tabs) Go to Disable IPN verification and select "Verification Disabled - DANGEROUS" (Read the note about why this is dangerous in the left column...) Click Save Do another test, and the following should happen: Get receipt notification immediately Payment posted immediately Error log, top field says: "paypal_r DEBUG: successfully handled" I'm not sure what the level of hacking danger is -- probably more if you are selling web developer software than knitting needles, due to the target market -- but obviously would be better to fix the root of the problem within the PHP configuration. If I figure it out, I'll post a fix here. ~Graham
