Hi,

A complete blank page can be related to a PHP fatal error.
You should take a look in your PHP error log in order to get more details.

Nothing in the PHP error log. Nothing in debug output. Any other ideas?

Hi,

And if you activate the debug mode of the PayPal Express checkout plugin and do a test again, do you get something in the payment log in the Files section of the HikaShop configuration ?

Hello,

So, you recieve Paypal notification but something went wrong...
Can you provide a **Sreenshot** of your payment plugin please ?

**Note** : Don't forget to **hide** you Paypal references !

Awaiting news from you.

Regards
