Paypal Standard payment registers 2 orders

    I have had lots of small issues with this plugin, this being one more of the similar variety.

    It appears that when I place an order using Paypal Standard, it creates an order and then, once payment is made and the user is redirected back to the website, it creates a 2nd order!

    Now when I go to the invoices screen, I have 2 invoices on the same date (minutes apart)

    Is this normal? what am I doing wrong?

    I had the same issue and I believe it can be related to the way PayPal communicates back to PMPro after checkout.

    Since the documentation of PMPro says PayPal Express is recommended instead of PayPal Standard, I tried to set-up PayPal Express as the payment gateway.

    Then, everything was fine. Now just one invoice is issued, as expected.

    Of course the problem is still there if you use PayPal Standard but PayPal Express should be just better.

    Unfortunately, when a discount code is applied, a similar bug happens and I get again two orders/invoices issued, the second of which has zero amount. But, this time, I believe the problem is related to the way discount codes are managed.
    I opened a dedicated topic for that “Additional order with zero amount when discount code is applied”.

    Hey guys,

    Unfortunately mario71 is correct. PayPal Standard should be avoided when possible in favor of PayPal Express. You can read more about the issues with PayPal at our blog.

    Thanks, we’ll reply there.

    Thanks,
