BETA Version 2 Paypal Module for PrestaShop
Posted by admin | Filed under Free Prestashop Modules, Prestashop
We’re pleased to release BETA 1 of our modified version of the PrestaShop Paypal Payment module that will hopefully address a few more of the shortcomings of the original 1.0.0.8 version.
This latest version provides tighter integration with IPN notifications, and supports all the current message combinations for both instant and eCheck payments. Refunds and cancellations are also supported, although only as far as this functionality is supported by PrestaShop itself.

Paypal IPN Validation update
Posted by admin | Filed under Free Prestashop Modules, Prestashop
We had an issue recently where there was some difficulty contacting the paypal server to verify an IPN passed back to a PrestaShop store.
The v1 Final version of the paypal validation.php file only uses fsockopen to establish an http connection to paypal (production or sandbox) to verify, so we’ve added a little code to ours to:
1) Use a secure connection if possible (using fsockopen)
2) Use cURL if the above fails to connect, and
3) Use an insecure http connection if the above fails.
The patched files can be downloaded here: Paypal module update for Version 1.0 Final
