This is just how it works and why you shouldn't use auto return. If the user does not return from paypal to your site for any reason then u have no record of the transaction, they could just close the browser as well. Use IPN method instead so that the callback happens in the background and does not rely on the user returning to your site.
Here is all the docs https://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCenter/ic_documentation.html IPN testing page (probably better to make your own version though as I did) http://paypaltech.com/Stephen/test/ipntest3.htm -- Russ -----Original Message----- From: Nick Gleason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 December 2006 02:36 To: CF-Talk Subject: Paypal Integration - Auto Return question Folks, We are integrating Paypal's Website Payments Standard system with our platform to allow clients to link off to paypal and make their purchases there and then link back. We have run into a surprising issue with Paypal's Auto Return feature that automatically brings a user back from paypal to a thank you page on out clients' sites. The issue is that we have Auto Return: 1) working great when the user pays with their paypal account 2) not working at all when the user pays with a credit card on the paypal site - they seem to have to manually click the "Return to Merchant" link at the bottom of the paypal thank you screen in order to get back to our client's sites. This is a problem for us since our clients users will expect to make a payment and then automatically end up back on the site they started on, not on the paypal site. Has anyone bumped into this issue before? Hopefully we are just missing something obvious. Best, Nick ............................................................................. .. .......
