I use PayPal to process customer payments. Why do I sometimes not receive order confirmation email from my web site?

You should always receive a payment notification from PayPal. But you will only receive an order notification email from your web site only if the customer returns to your web site after making payment at PayPal.

If the customers decides to go somewhere else from PayPal and not return to your store, then you will only receive the payment notification from PayPal and none from your web site.

When I use PayPal as the processing vender how does that work?

First you must set up your PayPal account at http://www.paypal.com. Be sure to use the same e-mail address for your Herbal Coach web site and your PayPal account. DO NOT set up shipping charges or sales tax at PayPal. Set them up at your eStore instead. When your customers are ready to check out, after ordering from your eStore, we automatically send them to PayPal with the total amount of the order including shipping charges and sales tax, if any, and your e-mail address from your Herbal Coach web site. PayPal uses the e-mail address to identify you.

Select PayPal as your Payment Processing Vendor from the drop down list box on the Setup page. After the customer pays for the order, you will receive a payment notification e-mail from PayPal. If the customer returns to your eStore from PayPal after making a payment we also send you an order confirmation e-mail.

When you receive a payment notification from PayPal you should log in to your eStore's administration area and down load the customer's order details, including the products ordered, customer's name, and shipping address. Then you should process and ship the order immediately.

If you are using PayPal as payment processing vendor, you may not always get an order confirmation e-mail from us. This because the customer must return directly to your eStore after making payment at PayPal for the order confirmation e-mail sent.
