Orders Not Recorded - Notices Not eMailed

Previous  Top  Next

The checkout seems to work fine, payment is collected on the gateway's secure form, and the customer is redirected to order.php, but the order is not recorded and notices are not emailed to the customer or administrator.

1.   For PayPal, the Instant Payment Notice (IPN) must be checked in the settings at PayPal.com so that a response is sent to the order.php script, which completes the order. Some credit card processing payment gateways have response and receipt URL settings that must be enabled.

2.	Broken code within the page template delivery.html (prior to version 3.6.6) or thankyou.html (version 3.6.6 or later) can cause the script order.php to break. Rename delivery.html or remove it and test. If the orders are recorded and notices sent, the problem is in the page template source code.
