EXCORP Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 OK so here is my dilemma.. I have an affiliate program on my website. In order to track affiliate sales, after paying by paypal the order needs to have the return URL to an order confirmation page. Paypal express does this BUT express is causing major issues with my customer sales I simply cannot use it. Paypal standard is what I would need to use however, the standard returns the customer to order history and not an order confirmation page. Which I need it to do for my affiliate tracking. On the module (paypal) is see this: ** International Registered Trademark & Property of PrestaShop SA ** ** Description: "PayPal Standard" payment form template ** ** This template is displayed on the payment page and called by the Payment hook ** ** Step 1: The customer is validating this form by clicking on the PayPal payment button ** Step 2: All parameters are sent to PayPal including the billing address to pre-fill a maximum of values/fields for the customer ** Step 3: The transaction success or failure is sent to you by PayPal at the following URL: http://www.mystore.c...ation.php?pps=1 ** This step is also called IPN ("Instant Payment Notification") ** Step 4: The customer is redirected to his/her "Order history" page ("My account" section) *} I would somehow need that edited for the standard to redirect to the order confirmation and NOT order history. I am not techy enough to figure this out. Paypal express is a nightmare for me. 1. If my affiliate uses a different email for paypal payments it creates a whole new account, which I cant have because their email registered with us has a discount on it. Its driving me crazy. So this is why I need to go back to standard. CAN anyone or does anyone know how to modify the standard to redirect to order confirmation and not the order history?? I would assume it has to be rewritten, but then again Im a coding idiot. Please let me know if you can and cost as I am loosing sales, having frustrated affiliates, and my sales are being hurt from this. Thank you!! OR -- If you know of a way to not let paypal express create a whole new account in prestashop, and removing the express checkout hook from the shopping cart and having it only appear on the payment. That might work as well if those 2 issues can be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I am guessing you are using the US / Canada paypal module. Try using the European version. It is based around the Express API but it does not create an account set up in the standard mode. Basically the standard payment is submitted using the doExpress call, which automatically returns to your site after the payment is made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXCORP Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Does PayPal charge me a few for that type of payment since I'm in the U.S. And only ship to USA and Canada? Also I had to edit out some things in the express script because it wasn't taking vouchers.. Would I have to redo that with the Eroupe mod?

Dh42 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 You should not be charged any more using that api method. The Europe version of the module was the only version of Paypal for PrestaShop for many years. They create a new module a couple of years ago, the US and Canada one to replace it. We have found the old Europe version to be better / more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXCORP Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 You are about to install "", a module which is not compatible with your country. This module was not verified by PrestaShop hence we cannot certify that it works well in your country and that it complies with our quality requirements. Use at your own risk. ??

EXCORP Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Not to mention... NOW im having the issue where a payment is made via paypal.. and not coming back to PS. I see them in abandoned orders. Not all, but more then 5 is enough to make it an issue. Not sure if thats "express" or the entire module Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The module should work fine with your shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
