Hi,
I have the latest stable ecommerce setup for 5.1 and it installed ok etc.

I am having some issues with the paypal part.

1. The automatic account creation does not work. I setup a generic product and set the option to create a account after payment has been recieved. This did not work at all.

2. There seems to be some issue with the IPN. One would think that when the information rich IPN is recieved it should create the new account, but it does not.

3. Nothing is pre-populated on the paypal billing form. The ecommerce module asks for the users email and that should be prepopulated.

4. Upon a successful payment ecommerce has the option to redirect the user to a node, this does not work.

5. Upon a cancelation of a payment it's supposed to redirect to a node optionally and this does not work.

6. If a anonymous payment is made the ecommerce transaction info displays nothing of who purchased it. The IPN returns a ton of information about the purchase and should display the email address or the name.

7. All payments for drupal should be anonymous unless the customer is a returning user, then they should logon with the account that was created the first time they purchased. There is no such thing as anonymous purchase in PayPal.

8. When the payment is complete on the paypal side and the user clicks the return to merchant button, the ecommerce module somehow has told it to return all the IPN information back to the user as a huge query string that is visiable to the user, it also pops up a warning dialog saying this info is not encrypted. This is very bad!!!

I was able to complete payments via the paypal sandbox but all of these little things make it unusable for me anyway.

I am going to have to do my own using this script (http://www.micahcarrick.com/v2/content/view/1/22/) which works great but will require much more setup and coding than the ecommerce solution. When I click return to merchant with this script it works as it should.

If anyone has any of this working with the latest ecommerce for drupal 5.x I would appreciate the feedback.

Thanks,

My test on sandbox shows the problems you reported in #3, #4 and #7 do not exist. But I have not yet tested the other problems you mentioned. Probably you need to examine your configuration and set up options.

What version of E-Commerce are you using? The one from March 10th (stable) or the one from March 20th (dev)?

So when you test a new account is created?

I also noticed that on the email confirmation that the user gets the [items] token does not get processed.
