Order on HOLD

Once again, if the order is getting set to On Hold it’s because it’s being held for payment review.

That seems to be what’s happening with your sandbox transactions, too, which is a little odd.

Is your live PayPal account giving you any details about why they are holding these payments for review?

As for IPN, based on the log you posted it looks like it’s receiving the IPN data, but then you’re saying it’s not updating in your WP admin panel..??

I know it’s weird for me also and i have no idea about this, all i knew is that I’ve changed alot of plugins to avoid this IPN listener just cause i had this problem before and nothing resolved it only this plugin.

I can’t tell you why it’s marked as hold on sandbox cause i see only this https://prntscr.com/bk305k
I had order today before i started testing with this and it all went good it’s completed, but im affraid if you say
“working” is a relative term, I guess.

Cause im going on vacations for 3 weeks with limited internet and i just wanna make this right and now i don’t know what to do. ??

You can login to the sandbox account at https://sandbox.paypal.com and see the transaction just like you would in your live account.

Oh, i was in developer mode

Ok so this is new testing now:
URL is put in paypal as i showed before so that’s fine, i have only active PayPal Express Checkout and IPN plugin

I’ve enabled sandbox mode in PayPal Express Checkout
This is what i get in details on account that i use in sandbox buyer account https://awesomescreenshot.com/0745z1102e
This is what i get in developer sandbox where i see account that receive money https://prntscr.com/bk3clp money is sent and payment is completed
when i click on Transaction 01A579511A711293K under PayPal Payment Review
i see only this https://prntscr.com/bk3d1v
And on my site order is on hold

So what im doing wrong do i need to use something else then express checkout or i need to uncheck something there or… dunno im totally lost here

Your seller account details looks like you’re just looking at the Notifications section within the developer account. Are you actually logging in to that account through sandbox.paypal.com? It should exactly like a regular PayPal account.

It is within that account, too, that you would have to setup IPN in order for those to be triggered when you do a test order against that account.

Where I enter IPN in sandbox account?

seller account details i can see only in developer mode cause only there i can see notifications and test account i can enter normal paypal account test mode

I have no idea how I can see seller account as normal regular account?

When i login in with username and password of sandbox account i enter only buyer area not seller

I’m confused. I think you’re making this harder on yourself than you need to, or I’m not explaining it very well or something.

In that screenshot you just sent of the PayPal account profile, is that from your sandbox seller account? If so, go to My settings instead of My selling tools and you should see Instant Payment Notification in there. That’s where you would set it up for the sandbox seller account, which is exactly the same way you’d set it up for your live account.
