Paypal payment page questions

[dadkind]

Hello All,
I'm trying to get PayPal (Standard) working on our site.

I've gone through the instructions here:
http://help.ablecommerce.com/mergedProj ... paypal.htm
for setting up the PayPal gateway (standard).

But when I'm checking out, I click the PayPal button and I'm taken to the receipt page. Should I be seeing a PayPal payment page pop up at some point?

I've attached my debugger to the "PaypalPaymentForm.ascx" page's code and I can see that these two lines are being executed:

Code: Select all

CheckoutRequest checkoutRequest = new CheckoutRequest(payment);
CheckoutResponse checkoutResponse = Token.Instance.User.Basket.Checkout(checkoutRequest);

and the checkoutResponse indicates "success".

So it seems that the checkout is happening "behind the scenes". But I was expecting the user to be taken to a PayPal page at some point.

Is this the correct behavior? If not, what should I be seeing?

This is my first PayPal site, so I'm not sure of what to expect.

Thanks,
-tomas

Use Checkout with PayPal button available in MiniBasket.

We're on a GoDaddy medium-trust, shared hosting environment.

From what I've read and from what I've seen that option is not available to us. (or is it?).

The "Standard" method appears in the CC payment info portion of the OnePageCheckout.aspx. It is there that nothing seems to be happening.

What should I be seeing when someone clicks the "PayPal" button?

Check following online demo. Add something to your cart and then try checking out using PayPal button available in MiniBasket or Basket page.

OK. I checked out the demo.

I ran a checkout using the Button in the MiniCart (not available on Godaddy hosted sites because it requires a full-trust environment),
and I also ran the "standard" paypal checkout.

In the "standard" checkout I saw that my site behaves the same as the demo site: the user is simply redirected to the receipt page, with the transaction happening in the background.

I guess my problem is that I don't, personally, use Paypal on websites and I didn't know what to expect.

Thanks for the link to the demo site!
