Hi

I am using the Mesolite template, and have now built my shop.

I have selected Paypal as a payment method, which seems to point buyers at Paypal website at checkout, but how do i then ensure that they are then taken back to my site and given a confirmation page saying that the purchase has been made and will be dispatched?

Is there a special page i need to create? What do i call it? Do i need to put a Paypal token code somewhere?

All constructive help appreciated. This is urgent 🙁

Thanks

What I would do is create a paypal sandbox account: https://developer.paypal.com/

With this account you can create a “buyers” account and a “sellers” account. You can then setup your paypal module with the sellers email. Once you do this you can use your “buyers” account to purchase an item in your shop. Doing so you will see just what the customer will see and just want emails they will recieve with a purchase.

As to how to setup paypal itself with virtuemart you can refer to : http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=39584.0

There are so many ways of doing what it is you need….Payapl has a very user friendle way of doing this.
In their payment pages or payment button step by step setup they do ask if you want to use a landing page after your client has paid….this would be where you would redirect your buyers

Paypal does have its own Forum which would help you better visit it here
