Hi,

I think there is a logic bug in the program flow.
Here the step a customer can do while purchasing.

-selecting article etc
- ....
- .....
- Fill in the form with address and shipping fields.
- Customer push the "go to PayPal" button
- a new screen is showing with the message, "Thanks for placing this order etc etc ... and a button "go further to Paypal".
If a customer does not click this button and goes to another page then...
The customer thinks he placed the order (he gets an email with order number etc.)
The site owner gets a message there is an order placed,
In this case both parties are waiting.
The customer on his articles (maybe he want to pay when the articles are delivered)
The site owner is waiting for the payment.

Is it better to remove the screen with the message mentioned above?

With regards, Ton Hermes

I agree Ton. Some other store fronts, such as SDN, process it this way. I just had a case like this yesterday, where the payment never got submitted. Bad enough, I was tricking the store with some scripts to allow anonymous user and since the user does not have to enter an email address in the current setup, I could not reach her.

It would be great if this step can be skipped completely. For the moment I decided to change the text that comes up after the first click and make it bold-red so that the shoppers are more likely to see it. You can the same using the admin>languages page. I think there was an earlier post on how to do this.

For future developement, I think it'll be great if anonymous shopping is allowed, as well as the automatic role subscription (if logged in), email address entry at the checkout and address field populated automatically if user is logged in.

Thanks.

I replaced the original "Resource Name: lblOrderNumber.Text" under "\desktopmodules\Store\Providers\GatewayProviders\PayPalProvider\App_LocalResources\PayPalPayment.ascx.resx" with this:

<p>Thank you, your request has been received. Your temporary order number is {0}</p>
<p><b>Please click on the "Continue to PayPal" button below to be transferred to PayPal where you can submit your payment.</b></p>
<b><p style="color:red">IMPORTANT: Your order will NOT be finalized unless you complete the next step.</p></b>

I hope this helps.
