Title: Paypal Autoreturn
Post by: jshooz on June 21, 2013, 20:37

I am a little confused about Paypal and Autoreturn.  I see the different SY tutorials refer to it as a step, but do not go into details.  Paypal describes that the page has to meet a series of requirements including referring to the user's name and such, so it seems like the page would have to be auto-generated by something ...  ???

So, does anyone use Autoreturn for their site and if they do, what URI did you use on your site?

The customer licence and file manager page as that is where images are downloaded from

Can I use this thread to ask a question to those people who have multiple Symbio sites. Basically, how do you set up Paypal to return to the right site after purchase?

Background: According to the Paypal site, you can have two Paypal accounts in total - a personal and premier, two premiers etc., but not more than 2 accounts. I currently have my personal and premier one and I use the latter to support purchases from two different sites - my ebook and my Symbio stock purchases.

As far as I can see, the Paypal setup asks you to put the return URL into the Paypal site and then the buyer returns to that URL after purchase. So how do the people with two Symbio sites make their buyers return to the correct site after purchase?

Thanks for that. This was a simple as setting up autoreturn on the Paypal site and using the Customer Management page as the return URL. (BTW - I thought that originally there was a separate return page - did that go in one of the releases of Symbiostock?)

My ebook site that uses WP eStore plugin ignored the stock photo return URL and took me back to the appropriate page on my other site

So all fixed...

I read all the answer and is this the right answer? Solution: Need a paypal business account.

I don't have a business account - just a premier. I entered the return address for Symbio in the Paypal page, and so that worked fine - bringing me back to the customer management page. I wasn't sure how my other website would take that, but the shopping cart on that other site seems to over-ride the Symbio page, and take me back to its own correct return page.

No special account needed (at least in my case)
