TOPIC: Using Pay Pal

Hello, do I need to have a Business pay pal accout to use it as a payment option for one of my registrations?

It doesn't matter if the account is a business account or not... just as long as it is a regular FREE PayPal account. DT Register does not use the paid versions of PayPal accounts. Then make sure that IPN is enabled in the account and that Auto-return is OFF.

Hi,

Just to keep in topic with a paypal problem.Having looked through all the posts in the forum i am having trouble with the paypal payment.

I register an event and click through the motions and eventually arrive in the paypals payment screen,all the data has been carried over as expected,address,cost details and so on.I then proceed to place credit card details and press to continue and make the payment but only to be meet with a card/details error,paypal cannot proceed due to forementioned error.

Having checked details time and time again same error.I can click on the link in the paypal screen and i am directed back to website with message saying no transaction and cancelled ect.

I have tried two different cards known to work because made purchases on them before and after paypal rejections.

Things i have done allready in paypal profile as advised by other post's:
1.made sure ipn is enabled
2.turned off URL auto redirect
3.Made sure currency is accepted in paypal

Does anyone have any other ideas i might check,the payment side is really the only thing stopping my progress.

I am using dt register 2.6.5

Did you try logging in at paypal (with a different account than the recipient paypal account) and proceeding that way? If you can't just pay directly with a credit card without logging in, you probably just don't have that ability setup in your account. I don't see that this would be a DT Register issue. if you made a payment and then DT register didn't finish the registration, then that would be a DT Register problem. I'd do some more digging in your account and contact PayPal if needed.

Hi,

Thank you for the fast reply.

I did try what you have mentioned,I have tried both ways ordering and paying without logging in to paypal,also logging in with another paypal account so buyer and seller was different aacounts(paypal accounts).
What has now transpired since my post is that the credit card used has now been charged with the amounts and taken from the account.This was confirmed by the bank concerned.

What i find so unusual is that the paypal account is not showing any monnies recieved and i also did not get any emails saying that any transaction has happened!!.

When the payment/card was rejected by paypal i was has expected after pressing the return to merchant link(on paypals website) redirected back to my site .

Now two things,

Is the bank,after a phone call to them not really sure if the money/transaction has been taken or gone through.

Or is this a paypal error and the transactions did happen but not showing up in the paypal account.If this is the case why the card error and no completion email from dt register.

The card has since been used for other things so their is not a problem with the card.

I am at a loss because the two contradict each other .If i have set up dt register wrong surly it would fall down and not register at the bank!!.

I have also as you mention sent a support of to paypal,but i really do not expect a reply for them.We will wait and see to what they have to say unless you can suggest anything i could be checking whilst i wait.

I have had to make the website live due to advertising releases ect but make the dt register unavailable for now until this most annoying problem is sorted.

Any other advice would be apreciated,

Regards

If the funds are not showing up in the recipient paypal account, then the payment is NOT going through. That is not a DT Register problem. Personally, I have no idea what the issue is. If it doesn't happen successfully at PayPal, DT Register will not complete the registration. On your bank, what is probably seen are PENDING transactions as anytime a credit card is attempted and declined, it still shows in the account for 1-2 days usually as it is pending. It will go away on its own once it is clear the payment is not going through.

Maybe try a different account for the recipient paypal account?
