first thanks rob with priority support ...my form is working now.
So I had built a test form which had a corrupt product field making the form not submit to paypal.........yet showed payment status as APPROVED
I rebuilt this form completely from scratch ...and feel as though it is at the stage now where our association could take it live.
So I tested this new form again (LIVE ) using $1.00 as the cost for registration.
I intentionally filled out the credit card fields wrong...and after hitting submit the form refreshed saying that the form was missing required information ( I also did not confirm my email as part of the form requests ) .....excellent ,as I expected to see...all working good so far.
there were 2 errors showing...
(1) the missing email confirmation ( this was expected ...as Im testing the form)
I added the email confirmation ....and hit submit again....failed again ....again ...this was as expected ....I haven't fixed the credit card fields.....again excellent ,all working as intended so far.
So i fixed the credit card fields (expiry date of credit card )..........but left the security code field with the INCORRECT INFORMATION ......( all other information is now correct )
I expect the form submitIon and payment to FAIL
It didnt fail.......im like WTF ...I just blew another buck doing a volunteer job LOL
So
This I see as a problem,actually could be a huge problem...unless this is as intended.....but I doubt that is as intended.
The form submits,I receive my thank you email,an entry is submitted to the form.......and paypal shows payment.
ummmmmm how can this be....the security code I entered was COMPLETELY INCORRECT ..............
Am I going to see the payment reversed from the credit card company...or paypal ....and have a logistical nightmare with 800 members.
I jumped through a bunch of hoops to upgrade our paypal account from standard to pro ...as we cannot have form submissions with out payment....at least in this case we got paid......but what are the implications,with the security code.
Paypal and merchant account noob here .
Thanks for any direction
