PayPal Orders Not Showing as Complete. No Emails. Cancel themselves.

  • Customers who purchase with Paypal receive no confirmation email for their order, and the admin receives none either.

    Money is taken from their account and it does appear in the admin account.

    The order shows as ‘payment pending’ in woocommerce for a long time until it eventually cancels the order with the following message: ‘Unpaid order cancelled – time limit reached. Order status changed from Pending Payment to Cancelled.’

    Orders made using the cheque option send emails instantly to both customer and admin.

    I have tried disabling all plugins, removing themes and using the default ones bundled with wordpress, and following all suggestions on this support topic at woothemes (which has been closed, and they no longer accept new submissions for support. Which is nice of them.

    I am using wordpress 4.2.1 and woocommerce 2.3.8

  • Is this a new problem?
    This is indicative of the paypal instant payment notification (IPN) not being received.

    Check out the “debugging ipn issues” here:

    I had this very same issue and it turned out it was a plugin conflict.

    Check your posts table and see what post_status is being assigned to an order. All orders were being assigned ‘wc-‘ rather than ‘wc-completed’ or ‘wc-processing’ and therefore not showing up in WooCommerce > Orders.

    Having identified the plugin that was causing the issue, orders are now appearing in the orders panel, however they are being marked as ‘processing’ rather than completed annoyingly.

    Thanks both of you for your suggestions, the problem was solved by adding a paypal identity token! Though I’ve had other installations work fine without one and it’s odd that the payment went through but woocommerce didn’t know about it.
