Payfast sandbox payment not updating attendee's status

Hi,
I am using EE3 and PayFast EventEspresso Payment Module v1.1.4
As testing with sandbox the payment goes through successfully and redirects to the thank you page but the attendee’s payment status still shows pending.

Also on thankyou page it gives a pop “Warning!!! Using the back button will overwrite your existing registration.” while navigating to any of the links or refresh the page. At this stage the transaction has already been completed and the data is recorded so this warning doesn’t make sense.

Also the business logo for payment page upload option doesn’t work.

Will appreciate your assistance to fix these issues.
In anticipation of your prompt response.
Thank you.

Hi Adam,

We don’t currently have an official payment gateway for Payfast. I ran some searches and found this:

https://github.com/PayFast/mod-eventespresso

Could you check with Payfast support for an updated version for the current version of Event Espresso?

Yes as I mentioned in my first post I am using the payfast integration for Event Espresso from https://github.com/PayFast/mod-eventespresso and apparently that is the latest version they have for for EE3.

The sandbox works and the payment returns success but the attendee status remains unchanged in EE3.

As the payfast payment page redirects to the thankyou page on the site with the attendee’s id in the URL string which indicated that it is returning the data.

Can you please point me into the direction as what triggers the change of the attendee’s payment status after the successful payment and what to look for?

Thank you.

Hi,

As PayFast is a thirdparty plugin you will need to refer to the author of the plugin for support.

That being said, I can advise you to compare the code in the PayFast module with one of our existing gateways, in order to troubleshoot.

Also, if you are not already, I would test on a live site versus a locally hosted development site. I tested on my local host and it failed and the icon was messed up, I tested on a live development site and it worked fine: http://take.ms/kOwJL

Hi Dean,
That was it, I tested it on live and it worked.
Thanks for your help.
