We are using PrestaShop version 1.5.6.1 and are having issues with PayPal Payments Standard. We just installed the newest version of the Paypal Module, 1.3 (http://addons.prestashop.com/en/payments-gateways-prestashop-modules/8277-paypalusa.html).
Here is what is happening.
1. Customer selects Paypal on checkout.
2. Customer is taken to payment page.
3. Upon payment customer is redirected to their order history page on our site.
4. The order is not converted (pending cart)
5. The customer is charged by Paypal
No emails are sent.
From reading other posts it looks like setting the IPN URL is not required as this should be taken care of by the module. From what I can see from posts by Presta Moderators they are trying to help, but blaming issues on the number of different modules and other conditions. Having used many different shopping cart platforms I can say that we have NEVER had these kind of issues. A solid checkout is critical. The fact that Paypal does not work for so many uses is a huge issue. The checkout itself leaves much to be desired. Many ways to streamline it and help ensure a good experience and no conversion loss due to poor design. The one-page checkout options available are even worse. Many errors.
Any ideas?
