Solution: Paypal payments not stored as confirmed

[tubaad]

Having problems with paid orders at paypal not being stored as confirmed, but remain Pending?

Try this:

In >admin>Store>List Payment Methods>Paypal

Remove this line in the Payment Extra Info:

"test_ipn" => PAYPAL_DEBUG,

After COUNTLESS hours of testing different solutions that did it for me.

And while you are there, fix this line if you are using multiple currencies:
"currency_code" => $_SESSION['vendor_currency'],
should be:
"currency_code" => $_SESSION['product_currency'],

I have seen so many attempts to solve this and other silly bugs in Virtuemart. Most of them posted by people like me, novices with a desperate need to make their shop work, spending hours and hours reading other novices posts testing suggested solutions.
I can understand that the support is poor on a free product, but someone: Learn Virtuemart top to bottom, figure out the bugs, start a business and earn bucks on us! I'd gladly pay for this kind of info rather than spending days fumbling in the dark.

Thanks for the tips, for multiple currencies, one can also use:

Code Select Expand


"currency_code" => $db->f("order_currency"),

Still haven't been able to fix the paypal return from pending to confirmed - still staying pending...
