How does payment actually worked?

Hi everyone,

 

Like to check.

 

When a customer pays money via paypal, will paypal auto-update my store that the customer has made payment?

 

Or do I have to login to paypal dashboard and manually check the order status. Then I need to check my bank account manually that the money is already into my bank account. Next, only I will update the status of the order to "payment accepted"? With that, I will only ship the goods to the customer. Is this the right way in PrestaShop ecommerce? 

 

If I have to manually check all this, wouldn't it affect the delivery time frame? After all, some transactions can be fraud which may take more time for banks to verify payment.

 

Any help? Thanks.

When the Paypal modules actually work, your store would be notified that payment was successful and an order would be created.

 

However the Paypal modules don't always work properly, and in that case, an order is not created even though payment was received.
