Thanks Ian")* Hi, Normally, the email is sent when the payment plugin changes the status of the order from created to confirmed after receiving the payment notification request from the payment gateway. So several things to check: - are the orders still being confirmed ? - is "payment notification" email still published in the System>Emails menu ? - Activate the "debug" setting of the payment method and place an order with a payment. There should be debug information in the "payment log file" available in the HikaShop configuration. - it's possible that the email sending or order confirmation processes fail because of an error (for example from a plugin or a customization of the email, after upgrading PHP). So normally that PHP error will be logged in the PHP error log of the server. So check the PHP error log for any fatal error message. - PayPal also logs information about the payment notifications in the IPN history: [ developer.paypal.com/api/nvp-soap/ipn/IPNOperations/](https://developer.paypal.com/api/nvp-soap/ipn/IPNOperations/) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI5LXBheW1lbnQtbWV0aG9kcy85MDQ5OTYtaGlrYXNob3AtaW50ZXJuYWwtcGF5cGFsLXBheW1lbnQtY29uZmlybWF0aW9uLWVtYWlsLW5vLWxvbmdlci1iZWluZy1zZW50P3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[ianspeed](/forum/user/1602-ianspeed "View ianspeed's Profile")** - [![ianspeed's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/1602-ianspeed "View ianspeed's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/1602-ianspeed) Less More - Posts: 173 - Thank you received: 8 - - 4 years 1 month ago [\#344640](#344640) by [ianspeed](/forum/user/1602-ianspeed "View ianspeed's Profile") Replied by *[ianspeed](/forum/user/1602-ianspeed "View ianspeed's Profile")* on topic *[Hikashop internal PayPal Payment Confirmation Email no longer being sent?](/forum/29-payment-methods/904996-hikashop-internal-paypal-payment-confirmation-email-no-longer-being-sent#344640 "-- HikaShop version -- : 4.6.1 -- Joomla version -- : 3.10.11 -- PHP version -- : 7.4.30 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : All -- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : none I have checked the email sent log and it appears that the missing emails have never been logged in the log?

Thanks Ian")* Hi, I got the debug log information. Thanks. It indicates that everything went fine for the PayPal plugin. So if the payment log is ok, the order is confirmed, the "payment notification" email is enabled but you don't see it in the Customers>Emails history menu, I see two reasons left: - the "payment notification email address" setting of the HikaShop configuration is empty instead of containing the email address of the owner of the shop - the email has been customized in the System>Emails menu and there is a problem with the override. So if you have trash can icons under the override columns of the emails in that menu, it means the emails have been customized. And you can delete the overrides by clicking on the trash icons. However, that means you'll loose your changes. So you might prefer renaming the override files in the media/com_hikashop/mail/ folder via FTP to deactivate the overrides without loosing them. Also, in that case, you should have a fatal error mesage logged in the PHP error log of your hosting. So I highly recommend looking into that. That would provide a crucial help in understanding what is wrong where.

Thanks Ian")* Thanks Nicolas, All emails addresses are populated. We are on the essential version so we have can't do mods to the emails. Couldn't find a PHP log on the server and the hosting company are not helpful at all! Very much restricted access, for a very expensive service! Not sure what else I can do, apart from give you access to see if you can see where the problem lies? Unfortunately I'm now away until Friday.
