I have setup Hikashop to test transactions on the PayPal Sandbox. I created an item and everything with the purchase worked as expected.

Everything worked as expected. By default when I installed Hikashop, it created 2 menu items "Categories Listing" and "Products Listing". The access visibility was set to "Public" for both menu items. I went in and changed the access visibility to "Registered" for both menu items and I repeated my test. When I finished the transaction, it appeared that everything worked properly however, the order status never updated from "Created" to "Confirmed".

To avoid that, set the "force menu on checkout" option of the HikaShop configuration to a public menu item.

I created a hidden "public" menu item that pointed to a simple "Thank You" article. I set the "Force a menu on the checkout" to that hidden menu item and the order status updated properly from PayPal. Everything appears to be working properly now.
