Paypal IPN Check

[admin]

Hello, if you are getting pending orders when using Paypal standard method, you may want to check the underlying reason within Paypal.com.

Please follow these steps:

History -> IPN History


Click on the Message ID link:


Check http response code:


Or other details.

If the code is not 200, then you got a problem. See the list here: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

404: Page not found, - maybe a https or subdomain problem
500: Php fatal error usually - check your php error logs
50x: Usually blocked by your internal proxy, maybe http1.0 is not allowed or Paypal's user agent is not accepted by htaccess or web server configuration
3xx: Some redirect -> your SEF or htaccess did a redirect which broke the IPN message

You also may need to check if IPN is enabled in general:



A proper vm2 IPN url is:

Code: Select all

http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=pluginresponse&task=pluginnotification&tmpl=component&lang=en-GB


(customize your https/http settings and your lang)
