Reg. status not moving to Complete after successful PayPal payment

Hi Everyone

I’m having having an issue with the paypal payment gateway and am hoping for some help. When attendees pay using paypal the payment goes through paypal but the registration status does not move to complete.

I have tried everything including:

1 – ensuring Paypal IPN is enabled and set to transactions page
2 – transactions page is public, published, contains correct shortcode
3 – transactions page is using simplified txnpage.php as template
4 – ran Event Expresso Requirements (cURL was found and passed but ‘Recommended Apache Modules’ were ‘Not Found!’)
5 – site is live, using live paypal. hosted on 1and1.

Here is what my log is showing for each failure:

Hi there,

Is there any tax being charged at PayPal’s end? I ask because something similar was happening on another site.

I turned the sales tax off in paypal, completed another test registration & payment, and was greeted by the most beautiful green check mark ‘completed’ circle I have ever seen.

After about 6 hours of troubleshooting, that did the trick.
Luckily our tax rules are easy I will use the ‘surcharge’ option found under advanced settings to charge GST – I’ve tested it already and it seems cleaner in general anyhow.

thanks josh!

Hi there, I also had this same issue. I turned off Sales Tax in PayPal and it’s working.
