Paypal Payment for pending orders

(1/6) > >>

Hello VM :) :),
I am using VM2.0.6 with Joomla 2.5.4.
In VM 1.9, customers can use a paypal button to pay for their pending orders from their order history, however it seems that function has disappeared in VM2.
so.. I am just wondering if my guess is correct, or it is not working only for my website...
Many Many Thank you for Virtuemart Development team and its great support :)

I have the same problem.

It's necessary if a client want pay in a second time.

Hi

The payment workflow is different in VM2.
If the shopper does not pay, the order is not there. There are no real pending orders.

Hello,
I'm trying solve same problem.

I think, If customer confirm order with paypal method and after redirection on PayPal page, close the PayPal login page (or go back on home page),  system create new "pending" order. But it is not possible to pay it again or later.

Did you solved it?

Hi,
I understand that the flow in VM 2 is different and there is no real/logical order for the customer in the system to come back and pay if the customer chose not to pay and abandoned the paypal site at the time of purchase (closed browser .. broke the computer before paying or whatever :-)).
The issue am having though is that the system does generate a back-end order in pending state (although no emails are sent until payment is confirmed from paypal). If customer chose not to pay and abandoned then the back-end is filled with pending orders supposed to be paid with paypal but not paid nor cancelled explicitly by customers.. these orders are just orphaned pending orders to be cleaned manually. That takes a lot of manual work specially if you have a lot of these orphaned orders.
The issue with these orphan order in pending state becomes even more tricky for scarce items in inventory since pending orders book the items and even if there is plenty of stock for the item, the item can appear out of stock because of these bookings.
Now is there any work around ? e.g playing with paypal config states and putting 'Order Status for Pending transactions' to Cancelled (or whatever other state that doesn't book the item/product)  ?
Moreover I see that it is possible to create a new Status .. say 'Pre-PayPal' and configure it 'is available' for the stock then go and configure the paypal 'Order Status for Pending transactions' to this new status which does not book the item ...
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
G
