Hi All,

I trying to make test payment on the paypal sandbox but always failing to do so for my NOPCommerce site.

 After completing the transaction I getting the payment status as pending.

Below is what I got in the log

Hello,

"the payment was successful but my order is pending"

What method are you using to update your backend order status once a PayPal transaction has completed ?

Have you setup payment data transfer (PDT) or instant payment notification (IPN) within the account ?

PDT : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api-basics/notifications/payment-data-transfer/

IPN : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api-basics/notifications/ipn/

Thanks !

It is located in your sandbox test account !!!!!

I was struggling to get it working...

You will get payment_status "Pending" also if your payment is done in different currency from your default in Facilitator account.

To change that, go to Sandbox facilitator account (login to sandbox.paypal.com), got to

Account Settings > Payment Preferences > Block Payments

, click

Update

, 

and select 

Yes, accept and convert them to <your_currecny>. Additional charges apply
