Paypal status on pending in sandbox

[thomasverleye]

reference: #176

Hi, Is it possible to test the paypal sandbox payment on a local test environment with a self-signed certificate? I've been testing this but I can't seem to figure how to get this working locally, the payment status keeps on stating pending.

I've been testing paypal payment on the live environment now and I've encountered this same problem. The payment status stays on pending, when trying to use paypal in sandbox mode.

the reason why this was still on pending was because the PHP mailer didn't work, I've fixed it by using Mailgun instead.

Re-opened this ticket, I think it's a big enough issue to address with a bugfix. Better error handling in the gateway callback could be helpful here.

That, and the feature you mentioned in #169 would also be helpful. Lot's of servers aren't enabling PHP mailer so something like selecting another mail service is a must here. I've had to modify your plugin source code in order to make things work.

Have you had to update any code other than the sendMail() function in shopkit.php?

Hi @samnabi ,

No, nothing other than the sendMail() function indeed. I've also added some log functions in the PayPal Callback to look whereabouts the script got stuck.
