[solved]Order status not updating from Pending to Confirmed with PayPal payment

[ivm]

I am working on an e-commerce store where I am having the problem the order status is not "Confirmed" after payment is made.

The shopper follows the checkout process, makes payment, the "Pending" status is set, and Order Status emails are sent to admin and shopper. After payment is made shopper can return to site for the "Thank you for your order" message.

I have enabled debug mode of the payment and viewed the log file:

Site is in development stage, using PayPal sandbox. But my deadline is approaching, I have crawled previous posts but can't find a solution to solve this.

Hello,

Go on you VirtueMart backend, and in the order view.
At the bottom of your page, you have the reason why the payment is pending.

But with the info that you  gave me i can see that your payment is in "payment review"
You an have a look at this page to know the exact reason for this status:
https://www.paypal.com/sg/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/securitycenter/sell/PaymentReview-outside

Don't forget to turn off the Paypal log.

Thanks, that's exactly what it was. Had to adjust settings in sandbox and it works fine now.

Thank you
