I’ve come across this issue several times when working with employers. Basically, we give them a coupon to get a discount on a job, and they apply that discount and get sent to Paypal. However, at that point, sometimes they stop the process because they need manager approval or need to find a manager’s credit card. So they plan on coming back and trying again after they have everything in order. However, the Job Board system now thinks they have used the coupon, so the coupon code does not work anymore if there is a restriction on the number of times it can be used by a given employer.

This causes several problems:

1) It requires us to create a new coupon for them
2) It creates a bad experience because they cannot simply retry the process
3) It requires us to get back a hold of them to resolve

Hi Dead Code,
I just found out that this fix had the unintended consequence of doubling job credits. When a user purchases a job credit, it works, however, when they click to return back to the site from PayPal, it gives them an additional credit.

Hi Luna,
There are no screenshots to share. Simply, using the fix that Dead Code provided above results in two times the number of credits getting applied to the account after a purchase. So if they purchased a package of 5 premium jobs, the system will put 10 credits into their account.

Hi Brent,

I have copied file japayment.php, and tested several times but can’t see the error as you said. Could you PM me your site URL, admin account and one employer account, FTP account so I can investigate further?

And also clarify steps by steps to replicate issue on your site.
