Improvement: Paypal e-check/reviews

Hi elitistdogg,
are you using standard paypal?
for now there is option to auto close orders that are pending for more than month in admin panel

Yes I am using standard.
I’m not worried about the old pending orders. I’m just seeing if there was a way to make the orders that do get paid, but are being reviewed by PayPal .. I.e. echeck, be sent back to Jigoshop to change the order status to on hold until the payment completes and then once the payment goes through, it does change to processing.

thanks for info, we’ll check what’s possible

I looked into it really quickly. It appears that the PayPal IPN does indeed notify of echecks, pending orders, charged back orders.
I think it would be great if we could create a new order status, or some way to designate that the order was paid for and is not pending, but the money is not in our account (aka don’t fulfill the order).
If i was able to code this, I would use the on-hold (as we don’t use that now), and edit the on hold email, not to be the same as the processing order email. But still notify the customer and store that the order was received but PayPal is reviewing the payment.

Thanks for listening.

thanks, that’s probably the way it will be done
