Hi ALL, I have set up a paypal sandbox for testing with ipn which i think is working. The process. 1: when someone pays for an event (in debug mode) it redirects to paypal. 2 Put in credentials and submit which then redirects to the / transaction page which should then go the thank you page. All this works except as soon as the thankyou page shows EE3 sends you back to paypal to pay again! Feel free to test your end as it is not live sandbox Thanks All |
Hi Wayne, Is the Bypass Payment Overview Page option set to No in your WordPress dashboard (WP-admin) –> Event Espresso –> Payment Settings –> PayPal: — |

Thanks Lorenzo, It was set to yes so changed it to no, however the experience was not as slick, before it would automatically take you to paypal, now we have to click on the buy now button. Is this something i just have to live with? Thanks for your quick reply |
Not necessarily. The redirect should only happen if the payment was marked as complete. Which that will happen if the Instant Payment Notification (or IPN) isn’t received from PayPal. You can follow this guide to help get that IPN up and running: |

Hi Josh |
The IPN can be kind of slow, or it could be blocked. You might consider using an onsite payment method like Stripe. You’ll avoid the whole redirection issue that way. |

hi all
Is it our server? |
It’s your server. Either the server has no root CA file, the one it has is out of date or is using a self signed certificate. If you manage the server yourself, you can follow these steps outlined in this other thread: https://eventespresso.com/topic/ee3-payment-incomplete/#post-89545 |
