Could you do some screenshots with the links of each page?

Once payment is taken, the next page is this one [ keepsakebooks.co.uk/index.php/choose-you...checkout/step/step-3](https://keepsakebooks.co.uk/index.php/choose-your-photo-journal/checkout/step/step-3) which is the generic page. When you put this link in your browser it will look like a nicely formatted page but it does not show like that - it is unformatted as in the screenshot below. Where I want them to go is here : [ keepsakebooks.co.uk/index.php/post-payment](https://keepsakebooks.co.uk/index.php/post-payment) - screenshot below. I have this URL in the Return Url box. So on completion of payment, first the generic page is shown in unformatted form as per the screenshot for a few seconds before then continuing to the post-payment url which I want. Can I avoid this blip to the generic page? Thanks - appreciate your help.

Many thanks in advance Chris")* Hi, You will probably have to edit the file xxx_thanks.php of the payment plugin you are using. In this file just make a redirection to the desired url. You have to make this changes via ftp.
