[TYPO3] Paypal not returning values to Webformat shop

Wed Apr 5 00:46:48 CEST 2006

Hi Mauro,

Unfortunately, that did not work either.

There are many preferences which can be set inside of the PayPal account 
such as Instant Payment Notification, and Auto Return.  Are any of these 
relevant to the Webformat shop?  If so, what should they be set to?

When a buyer pays by PayPal is the Webformat Shop suppose to generate an 
order in the backend (in the Orders sysfolder) like the other other payment 
options?  Or does using PayPal cause the shop to not record the order?    We 
are unsure on what is "suppose" to normally happen when a buyer pays by 
Paypal.

Is 50.return =    suppose to point to the basket page?  Or is it suppose to 
point to a plain "Thank You" page?

Hopefully by finding the answer to these questions we can figure out what is 
going on.  If the shop does not record and order in the BE for PayPal 
transacations this will cause many problems for the merchant.

Thank you for helping us with this.
