PayPal redirecting users to wrong URL

Just to follow up on this thread…
I reverted the plugin back to ver.2.1.9, as a previous user had similar issues that were solved with a downgrade. That previous version provides the correct URL redirect from PayPal.
As my use of this plugin will only be for one product for now, I’ll leave it at this version until true support is provided for these types of issues.

Hi Tgd,

I’m having the exact same issue after the update…

Upon completing purchase, users are begin redirected to:
hk/cgi-bin/https://www.mywebsite.com/…

I rolled back to V2.1.11 and it’s working properly again…

Hope the Plugin authors can fix soon. : )

I was just about to post a topic about this. I’m also having the same issue.

samne issue here. purchase cannot be completed.

the error message i am getting:

Not Found

The requested URL /de/cgi-bin/https://myurl.de/kasse/order-received/603?key=wc_order_53b8d76ef102b&utm_nooverride=1 was not found on this server.

restoring 2.1.11 and its working fine again…

As an update. I got the same error and I think I found the cause after some debugging. I created an issue tracker on Github to WooCommerce here:

https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/issues/5798

thanks codex-m,
I checked that, but if it was only that line you pointed out i would get the automated confirmation, which still does not work.
that means: paypal redirects to the correct page (thank you) and the Email notification is released, but the order is being ‘processed’ instead of being ‘completed’… so redirecting would work, but it would not autocomplete order…

regards

Hey guys, please turn off the “Use form submission method” option.
With the option disabled all works fine.

The option: https://i.imgur.com/lcjI5Ja.png

I just fix this in the next release already okay for form submission too.

hey there, thanks for looking into that. but i never have the ‘use form submission method’ activated – and the redidirecting still does not work… so i cant confirm that.

I am having the same issue. I originally had “use form submission method” checked because the site wouldn’t allow PayPal to process orders for some users. After un-checking it the cancel function on the PayPal worked properly but once again orders are not able to be processed.

I have the very same issue – I wonder if there is a solution for this

@akos.maroy Just read me comment.

@claudiosanches, this doesn’t solve the issue for my site. When the form submission is disabled, the PayPal payment doesn’t function properly and redirect the user to the PayPal payment page. The icon continues to spin and the page NEVER redirects.

Here is the Solution:
Step 1: go to this file includes/gateways/paypal/class-wc-gateway-paypal.php and open it with editor

Step2 : go this link https://github.com/claudiosmweb/woocommerce/blob/1474617ff9bce729d8ad49dca1321a429c0d33fc/includes/gateways/paypal/class-wc-gateway-paypal.php

Step 3: copy all code from this link and replace with the class-wc-gateway-paypal.php code.

Step 4 : this code have still one error it in to solve this error you have to go on line number 142
'default' => __( 'Pay via PayPal you can pay with your credit card if you don\'t have a PayPal account', 'woocommerce' )

the string value give parse error due to don\'t because single quote is not parse correctly just change this string with any of your string line and it will work ??

apparently it’s a known error. Fixed in WooCommerce 2.2, but not released yet.

they advise (as does @claudio), to turn off the “Use form submission method”

formerfatguy, I’m usng WC 2.2.7 and the problem persists. And, ebox.nadeen, changing that file had no effect.
