I'm not sure if you are doing anything wrong, but it sounds like you are hopping back and forth to and from paypal a little too much. If it were me I don't think I'd have them confirm making a payment, then come back to your site to review their order then go back to paypal to actually make a payment. I'd do this:
1. Confirm what's in your cart 2. Place order (go to paypal to accept payment) 3. Return to your site for printable receipt and sale confirmation. If I'm misunderstanding your process please forgive me. On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 12:20 PM, Matthew P. Smith <[email protected]>wrote: > > Hope you guys don't mind the paypal questions.
