Hi,

That's indeed how it should be. I looked into it and I think I know what's going on.
However, I'm not able to test this as it's apparently not possible to test echecks with the sandbox PayPal provides to developers.
So I'm not sure if what I think should be done will work, nor if it's actually a configuration issue, not a code issue.
So I propose to do 2 things:
- Change the code: Code:

if($response-&gt;result-&gt;intent == 'AUTHORIZE' &amp;&amp; $response-&gt;result-&gt;status == 'APPROVED') {

to: Code:

if($response-&gt;result-&gt;intent == 'AUTHORIZE' &amp;&amp; in_array($response-&gt;result-&gt;status, array('APPROVED', 'COMPLETED'))) {

in the file plugins/hikashoppayment/paypalcheckout/paypalcheckout.php
- Turn on the "debug" setting of the payment method.
That way, if the change helps, then, it's problem solved. If it doesn't, please provide what you get in the "payment log file" of the HikaShop configuration. That should give us enough information to understand what's going on.

Hi,

Oh, you're on the 5.0.4 ? Then, that changes everything. You said 5.1.0 in your first message, so I based my reasoning on this.
If you have the 5.0.4, then the first thing would be to update HikaShop to the 5.1.0. We've made major improvements to the PayPal Checkout plugin as well as many fixes with the 5.1.0. Just updating might help fix the problem. And if not, you'll be able to make the modification I was talking about.

Hi,

Please follow my previous instructions in this message:

Hi, As I am on 5.1.5 the mods you said you made above have obviously not worked. Echeques are a very rare payment method but, orders have been sent out due to the 'payment recieved' notification and they they were refused by PayPal meaning we lose money.

Where would I find the payment log file?

Hi,

What do you mean by "As I am on 5.1.5 the mods you said you made above have obviously not worked." ?
The modification I proposed have not been added to HikaShop on our end since you didn't provide any feedback on them yet and no one else reported the issue.
So reproducing the issue after updating to 5.1.5 doesn't say anything about whether the modification is helpful or not.

The payment log file can be found in the HikaShop configuration, as I already said:

Hi, As the mod was made when you suggested it, after updating to 5.1.0, it either does not save on a new update of Hikashop or it did not work??

Which is it?

Log file for the order, I have x'd sensitive info.

The changes you asked me to do are still in the plugin file.

Hi,

Thanks for the log. That's exactly what I needed.
Thanks to it, I was able to dig into the issue. I found that the PayPal documentation recommends checking for another variable on top of the main status parameter, and that this other variable is not documented in their API. But with your log, I think the change I've made should allow the plugin to properly handle these situations.
I've added the patch to HikaShop on our end. Download again the install package of the latest version of HikaShop on our website and install it on your website and you'll get the patch.
With it, the plugin will change the order status to the "pending status" configured in the payment method when receiving a completed payment notification for an echeck with the capture status pending.

Hi,

Are you now using the 6.1.0 on your website ?
Could you provide again the payment log, like last time so that we can check on the details ?

Hi,

Thanks for the logs. I've made a patch to take this into account.
Download again the install package of HikaShop on our website, install it on yours and you'll get the patch.
The new orders paid with an echeck which is still pending will have their status changed to pending instead of confirmed.
