Re: Paypal Integration - Auto Return question
Did you know PayPal bought Payflow Pro? Their is now an easy solution that will integrate right into your current application. I have posted a couple things about this, just thought i would drop a link for you. http://www.danvega.org/blog/ On 12/1/06, Will Tomlinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes I ran into the exact same thing.

Re: Paypal Integration - Auto Return question
Yes I ran into the exact same thing. Very irritating! I use both IPN AND PDT. The IPN will take care of the background work anyway when the auto return thing screws up.

RE: Paypal Integration - Auto Return question
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 . .. ...

Re: Paypal Integration - Auto Return question
As far as I know there is no work around for this, when you make a Payment with an account all is good, if you are paying with a credit card there is no auto return. I chatted online with one of the Tech guys from Paypal who also confirmed this. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:262374 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
