CoffeeGuy Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Someone placed an order. I got the Paypal notification, AND payment, BUT - there was no order to be shown in the back end. At all. It's like it wasn't ordered. If I didn't get notification from Paypal, there would be an open order sitting there with no signs of it. Another person placed an order, it came through just fine. Payment, and in the back end. Another person placed one today, and same thing! No back-end notification but Paypal did come through. Seems like it only happens once in a while. 😞 Another thing about the payment via Paypal. Every single time an order comes through, I get Paypal notification - BUT - it only shows the amount they paid. No breakdown. I have to check the back-end store. So if that doesn't come through, then I have to call the customer to find out what they ordered which is very embarrassing. This is gunna happen again, just know it... please, I'm desperate to get this fixed asap before it happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piet Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hi, Looks like an old Pretsashop bug. Look in your cards if you see something that matches the order. Which version of TB are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGuy Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 First of all, thank you for the only one who responded. This is URGENT for me. What are cards? 😞 Sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piet Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hi, cards (shopping cards) are found in the customer tab. Cards are filled first by the customer before they make an order. It's recommended to upgrade your shop to solve the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGuy Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Oh! SHOPPING CARTS! Not cards. lol. OK, I found it, and sure enough, there's the order! 🙂 I created the order from the non-order. Thanks! I can check there from time to time. As far as upgrading, I'm so afraid to do so. I don't know much about this at all and don't want to screw things up. Can you offer assistance as the easiest way to do so? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piet Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 You're right carts, my bad. Upgrading is quite easy, use the core updater to upgrade or downgrade to any version you want. Important! always make a backup of files and database first. A lot about upgrading is written on this forum. Success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLiCK_303 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 This bug has been happening for me for a long time, just some orders dont seem to go through to the system, but show up on your paypal. I hope it gets fixed at some point..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGuy Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Slick, you should do the upgrade. I had someone do mine cause I didn't wanna screw anything up. Slipped 'em $20 to help 🙂 Well worth it. This may fix your issue. What's your store? Always love seeing other users storefronts.

haylau Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Are you using the TB paypal module, or the PS module? The issue in the PS module i think is to do with differences in rounding. Whatever your store does with rounding PayPal uses it's own rounding. Any discrepeancy causes the error Have a look in Advanced Parameters > Logs There will probably be level 3 errors when the cart is not converted to an order. Set the log by email level to 2, and at least you will get an email when it happens We have upgraded to the TB module and have not had the issue since (fingers crossed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I personally haven't seen this bug happen in quite a while. Are you guys fully up to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGuy Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 I am now, Purity! Lets see what happens. Thanks, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLiCK_303 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) I'm on tb 1.1.0, with tb's Paypal module v5.4.2. It happens so infrequently, i'm not sure how it could even be troubleshot.... Come to think of it, I probably shouldnt have even brought it up again, as I dont recall if this is still happening since the 1.1.0 upgrade. Would be nice to have the product breakout again on Paypal invoices again tho. Sometimes less info makes things better.......sometimes....not. But thats for another topic...

I don't know much about this at all and don't want to screw things up. The nice thing about the newer updater is, one can reverse updates. If the newer version doesn't work out, just do this, "update" from 1.1.0 back to 1.0.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGuy Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 So, Slick, you're fully updated and it still happens from time to time? Hm... that's not good. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm... that's not good. 😞 Note that it's not necessarily tb fault. Since it is intermittent issue with no repro-steps, the root case can be somewhere else. For example misconfiguration of server. Say, during peak hours HTTP requests can be dropped by apache/nginx, php server might not be able to create connection to database, etc... these would result in http requests returning 500 error code (and thus ignoring paypal callback) Of course, this could be mitigated, or even completely fixed, by rewriting paypal module. For example, the module could proactively fetch all completed transaction via paypal API, and check that all of them has been processed. But that's a big refactoring, and I'm afraid that tb guys don't have enough manpower to achieve that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piet Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 @datakick The error is caused by something with the payment module in combination with TB. It was also an issue in PS 1.6.The error you see in the log is something like this: Frontcontroller::init - Cart cannot be loaded or an order has already been placed using this cart We had a lot of those in the past using PS 1.6 and Mollie module. Since a year or so it has not happened anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's not caused by tb. I'm saying that, since it is an intermittent issue, it can also be caused by something else. And until there exists repro-steps one can follow to reproduce the bug, I will continue to think so 🙂 Quote It was also an issue in PS 1.6.The error you see in the log is something like this: Frontcontroller::init - Cart cannot be loaded or an order has already been placed using this cart This was never an issue, this was just unnecessary log line that caused panic. This line was added to system log whenever user loaded *any page* immediately after cart was converted to order. At that moment, cookie still contained id of old cart. Thirtybees (prestashop) reacted on this situation by creating new empty cart, and by displaying this *error message*. But it's not an error, it is an expected workflow. This was *fixed* by deleting the code that logged this line. Nothing else 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty Nutz Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) I have had a problem like twice in prestashop - the first time it took me ages to sort out - working with Paypal and developers - no solution. For me on the first occasion it was the braintree paypal module that went wrong and it couldnt be fixed. To solve it i bought the 'Paypal standards module' and the issue was fixed. Then, (just a few months ago) the issue came back ...not saving order details to my PS site. I contacted the 'Paypal standards module' dev and he gave me the updated module. Problem gone again. I think (and im prob wrong) that paypal is tinkering with their rules (for instance my shops are in the philippines and they hate all the money scams that go on here - to try and stop it they dont let some my buyers ship to address here in PH). Maybe they are moding something their end and the modules go out of sync. Just my 2p's worth - good luck i know how desperate it feels after you spend so long building a site to have it go tits up when its out of ur control Edited September 3, 2019 by Betty Nutz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30knees Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I wonder whether this is the same problem: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
