Let me know how it goes, if it continues to have issues we can investigate with you to see what is going on. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payment-notification#post-24098 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 15:55:14 +0000 UTH Office of Communications 24098@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just changed my PayPal IPN back to http. I'll watch the next payment to see if that fixes it. Should I shoot for https when coming back from PayPal? </p> <p>Also, I've had 3 users complete the purchase, but their accounts weren't created. Can I resend the IPN from the IPN history page and have it re-process the user registration (if successful)?</p> <p>Edit: PayPal did resend the IPN, but it sent the notification to the URL with https, ignoring the recent change I made. I guess I have to wait for a new buyer/purchase to see if the change I made works. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payment-notification#post-24096 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 15:37:01 +0000 Carl Hancock 24096@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The problem could be the rewriting, because if it's rewriting it back to http:// from https:// then it's never processing as https://. Have you tested it in the live environment without the SSL? Just with http:// both for the form and the IPN? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payment-notification#post-24095 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 15:17:04 +0000 UTH Office of Communications 24095@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm actually having this same problem on one of my sites. I was having the problem before with the sandbox, but I fixed that due to me not setting up the PayPal sandbox IPN correctly. Since then, I've switched to the 'live' payments and my users are not being created.</p> <p>I've check the IPN history page and I'm getting HTTP response codes of 200, so everything is working there.</p> <p>The differences in my setup between now and then is I've added SSL to my WordPress form. So, I'm sending people from the Gravity Form on a SSL page to PayPal, then I'm asking PayPal to send them back to my website via HTTPS. However, I noticed my website is rewriting the https to http once they get to the site (<a href="https://www.ut-ent.net/courses/)" rel="nofollow">https://www.ut-ent.net/courses/)</a>. On the backend, Gravity Form is listing my notification IPN link as http://. I'm guessing this is the cause of my new problem, correct? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payment-notification#post-19311 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 13:03:26 +0000 Carl Hancock 19311@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@browncow The issue is going to be related to PayPal not being able to communicate back to the IPN handler on your site. We have seen firewall settings and WordPress security related plugins block this request. Are you running any WordPress security oriented plugins?</p> <p>What you will need to do is login to your PayPal account and view your IPN history. It will list all the IPN requests and if/why they were rejected. That will give us more information to go on. If it's being rejected for some reason it will most likely show a 403 error was returned for the IPN request attempt. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payment-notification#post-19301 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 09:41:24 +0000 browncow 19301@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Im having the same problem as everyone else. MY IPN is turned on at paypal and I have clicked the checkbox on the admin panel that it is setup. But when people submit the form, they are set to processing even if they complete the paypal payment process...</p> <p>I've got the latest betas as of a couple of days ago. This is a major show stopper for us. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payment-notification#post-17835 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 15:28:46 +0000 TymB 17835@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>A simple (I think), short term solution would be another notification.</p> <p>Currently I can choose to not receive notification until payment is approved. Maybe you could add an additional notification option like, "If payment not approved, then send warning email to Admin to manually remove specific entries." </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payment-notification#post-17834 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 15:16:38 +0000 TymB 17834@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We're using it for new members to join an organization, and we want to make sure every member has their own email address.</p> <p>Even if an existing member wants to pay for their friend, we want them to submit a different email address to make sure we can reach every member separately with notices, etc. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payment-notification#post-17828 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 14:10:46 +0000 Carl Hancock 17828@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@TymB How exactly are you using the "No Duplicates" functionality? You typically should only use this in extreme situations such as contest submissions where you want to limit it to 1 entry per email address. In situations where a person is placing an order and may return and place more orders in the future, you wouldn't want to use the "No Duplicates" functionality. It isn't functionality that is typically used, especially on email fields. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-payment-notification#post-17807 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 08:49:33 +0000 TymB 17807@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Another very good example of why we need the ability to automatically remove entries based on certain conditions.</p> <p>If you have "email address" as a required field AND it must be unique, if the person comes back a 2nd time (e.g. 1st time they filled out the form and something happened - they aborted payment process, etc.) then they aren't able to submit the form the 2nd time.</p> <p>This is happening before I can even look at the previous night's emails and manually clean out the duplicate entries. </p>
