How to set up Paypal on WooCommerce?

votes

I've already tried hard to set up Paypal on WooCommerce without success.

I wonder what is the actual steps used to set up PayPal on WooCommerce?

My problems are:

  1. I tested it with my sandbox but, after payment, it doesn't redirect back from PayPal to my website. (I've already had business Paypal account and the redirect url on Paypal is already set)

  2. The order status after check out is still 'pending'(unpaid). It doesn't automatically change the status after check out. I've no idea how to make it work?

  3. What the difference between 'PayPal Email' and 'Receiver Email' in payment gateway setting?

  4. Do I have to do anything to make IPN work?

  5. No notification email sent to shop owner...

NOTE: On my status page -> wp_remote_post() was successful - PayPal IPN is working.

Thanks in advance for any helps!

Are you doing this on localhost or on an actual server? – icc97
One of the problems is that to use the sandbox you have to have a sandbox set up and actually be logged in to it. You may want to try buying a 1 cent product "live". – helgatheviking

It sounds like part 3 might be your issue. In the IPN debugging section of the documentation it has the following:

Check Email Addresses

Check the Email Address (in the paypal gateway settings) matches the email address passed back by IPN. You should be using your primary email address for your paypal account. Failure to do so will mean the IPN response will be rejected.
