    From other posts on this forum, I figured out how to set up the PayPal IPN, get it back to the site and such

    The problem is that new orders come in with a status of "Order received" and it doesn't send a link to the user until the order is moved to a status of "accepted payment"
    It sends the email to the person and returns them to the 'transaction page" but both are missing the link

    Godaddy is the host and moving the blog to the root isn't an option

    Is there a PayPal setting that will bring in the order with "accepted payment" status?

    Is there a WP e-Commerce that will automatically push the status to "accepted payment"?

    Still working on this while installing a different cart
    the URL from PayPal looks something like
    http://www.domainname.com/location/transaction-results/?sessionid=851125571xxxx&gateway=paypal&tx=2V6885633X99xxx&st=Pending&amt=0.01&cc=EUR&cm=&item_number=

    st=Pending is what gets my attention

    Does anyone know that status WP e-Commerce wants in order to move the order straight to Accepted or Closed?
    I have tried Accept, Closed, Accepted, but all after the fact

    I email Godaddy and they claim not to block anything that would prevent the IPN from doing its job

    We do not block any sort of information like the PayPal IPN. You may want to contact PayPal directly or the author of the plugin's you are using to perform this automation.

    This leave me at a PayPal setting that will return Accepted or Closed or what ever, or hacking WP e-Commerce to always set the status to what ever WP e-Commerce wants in order to release the download link. Seems like a lot of freaking work in order to sell an MP3

    From PayPal
    https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_IPNandPDTVariables

    So these variables being returned are actually PDT values, not IPN

    Description

    amt Amount of the transaction

    cc Currency code

    cm Custom message

    st Transaction status

    tx Transaction ID/PDT token

    So I presume st ( Transaction status) is like payment_status. I presume this because its the only variable that come in Uppercase and has the possible value of Pending.
    But bummer for me, switching that value in the URL to Completed does not push the order to a status that will display the links to the downloadable media.

    Email back from PayPal Support

    That looks like PDT and not IPN. PDT uses tx. The rest of the variables you should ignore. You should focus on what you get back from our server on the post back from us.

    Please review the PDT guide:

    Please reply if you have further questions.
