Hi Donato,

Does it show incomplete indefinitely or if you look at the registration now does it show complete?

For the ones that work fine, there is a green checkmark but for the ones that arent working right it is a red X.

It sometimes takes a bit of time, sometimes several hours for PayPal to post a response to the server. Another possibility is that PayPal sent a response back to your server, but the response bounced or the server was unresponsive for a short period of time, therefore not capturing the data from PayPal.

You can also view your PayPal Instant Payment Notification history and/or try resending the IPN notifications by logging into your PayPal account, then visit this URL: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-ipns-history

You should see something like this:

Hi Donato,

That will occur if the registrant/attendee clicks on the cancel link over on PayPal.com.

That will take them back to your site and show them a registration cancelled screen.

Hi Donato,

Could you also take a look at the additional troubleshooting steps:

If you haven’t already done so, I would try setting up the simplified transactions template:
