I read that thread but when i put my domain name in its place the browser showed no page

"https://www.mydomain.co.uk/cgi-bin/os000001.pl?SEQUENCE=3&ACTION=Finish"

"http://www.retro-sweets-shop.co.uk/cgi-bin/os000001.pl?SEQUENCE=3&ACTION=Finish"

Shows no page, or is it not meant to?

Did you place a test order? The return url takes the customer back to your site where Actinic will display the receipt page for the order.

If there's no order then there's no receipt page for Actinic to display.

Edit:

PS. This bit 'os000001.pl' needs to have the correct script number that you're using. In your case this appears to be 67.

Return url not working in V10

Hi,

Sorry can I resurrect this as I had problems previously with paypal not taking customers to the receipt page and used the following:

http://www.postapresent.co.uk/cgi-bi...&ACTION=Finish

and this worked fine in V9, but since upgrading to V10 it is not bouncing back but has a link that customers can click if they wish to return to the site. When they click on the link the url is:

http://www.postapresent.co.uk/cgi-bi...teries%2ehtml&

so it's there, but not auto bouncing them back. I have the same setup in paypal profile as before (not altered anything for V10 upgrade)

I noticed that the paypal page layout and workings are different than what it was when I was in V9, so has anything changed in V10 Paypal Template maybe that means this url needs amending? My cgi script ID is still 1, so it's not that.

I tested this by paying by card in Paypal. Haven't been able to test by Paypal account as it won't let me use my own account, but I need both methods to bounce back or I don't get the necessary emails.

Has anyone else had probs in V10 with this?

Thanks

EDIT: Spent all morning searching a solution before posting and just found the answer! This is what Paypal say :

The Auto Return feature will automatically return customer who has a PayPal account automatically back to your site.

People that pay with a credit card, via PayPal account optional, are given the opportunity to open an account. If they do not, they must click on the Return to Merchant button to return to your site.

You have control of the text of that button. By including the 'cbt' variable you can customize the text on the button as shown below:

<input type="hidden" name="cbt" value="Click here to return to Merchant site">
