In my Magento installation I can't seem to figure out why Paypal Standard Checkout isn't changing to paid/invoiced when the customer pay me. The transaction is flawless, but the status isn't changing in Magento. I have to log in to Paypal and check if the payment is correct and the manually send the complete invoice copy to the customer. I also use Paypal Express and Google Checkout as payment options and they are both working perfect and returning a status update. (sorry for my bad english). I've done everything instructed hundred times, but the results are the same, no status change with Paypal Standard. I've searched and posted in the Magento forum and asked Paypal, but they don't have any answers. Any ideas?
Thats something that paypal can answer the best because its there system you can contact them by phone it doesn't take long.
I've asked paypal and they can't see anything wrong with my setup. I've asked magento developers and in their forum and nothing wrong can be found. I've uploaded the related files several times, configured it several times but nothing changes.
I would suggest to reinstall only paypal module, hope will work, kindly backups before doing anything. also there are some paypal version issues, depending upon magento version. probably not database issues.
I use cre loaded and I have a similir problem. but just change it manualy once you have the money on the paypal account. When you use Paypal payment pro you wont have this problem.
I have reinstalled the Paypal module, but still the same problem. I have another Magento installation, exactly the same version, without this problem. Both installations are located at the same server.
