getting back to site after paypal sale

[durangodave]

Hi,

 

I ran a live test today, had my father sign up and use his cc to make a sale and i watched the whole process.   Everything works good except a couple of things.

 

On the paypal side:

 

They do not make it clear that if you dont have a paypal account you just click the form with your information  anyway and it will let you do a credit card.  And then you can say no to create account.  That could cost some sales right there, its totally confusing on their part.

 

On the prestashop side:

 

After the sale on the Paypal screen it says  "return to my company name"  as a link.   We kept clicking on the link and nothing happened it was a dead link, we did this on chrome just fyi.

 

I used chrome again to send some money to a friend of mine using his webisite (not prestashop) and that same link worked fine and i returned to his website with no problem after the sale.

 

So i dont think its a paypal issue, it seems to me it might be an API form input value issue with prestashop form, i know there is a form input with paypal that you can use as part of the API to produce that link but i dont know why it would not work if it is done correctly which i assume it is, not sure because i dont know where it is.

 

I believe the paypal API input form name is cbt and you can set the text for that link.

 

Anyone have any issues with this also, and if so is there a fix?

 

Thanks

 

fyi i am using the latest version of prestashop.

 

 

UPDATE:  turns out the cbt is just to change the text itself, the return url still takes presidence.   However in paypalusa.php i did find this

'paypal_usa_return_url' => /*26/12/2013 fix for Backward compatibilies on confirmation page*/
					version_compare(_PS_VERSION_, '1.5', '<') ?
					(Configuration::get('PS_SSL_ENABLED') ? Tools::getShopDomainSsl(true) : Tools::getShopDomain(true)).
					__PS_BASE_URI__.'order-confirmation.php?id_cart='.(int)$this->context->cart->id.'&id_module='.(int)$this->id.'&key='.$this->context->customer->secure_key : 
					$this->context->link->getPageLink('order-confirmation.php', null, null, array('id_cart' => (int)$this->context->cart->id, 'key' => $this->context->customer->secure_key, 'id_module' => $this->id)),

looks like a patch was done in 2013 and i wonder if the fact that im use HTTPS has caused this issue and the patch is not working correctly.   seems a coincedence that im having an issue with the confirmation page on paypal and yet this patch is placed on the same page.  I hope im wrong and its a simple fix.

 

Anyone gotta take on this?   thanks

 

 

sorry didnt notice you had a paypal section till now, can someone move this over to paypal forum please, thanks
