Actually, this is true with Zen Cart. What happens in nopCommerce is that the the order is stored, however, the payment status shows as "Pending". You have the order, it's just not paid for. This also happens if the customer gets the to the PayPal site but for some reason does not complete the transaction.
As a Store Owner
"Pending". You have the order, it's just not paid for. is such a pain, and it happens more because people forget passwords , don't know they don't have a paypal account rather than comunication with paypal.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PayPal Express that works with discounts and real time shippers, (I know the plugin works for some)
would make Nop AA+.
Both PayPal Express and Google buttons on the Cart get more customers, PalPay Standard worked when you did not have to pay as many fees as other PP merchant services, but taking an order without payment is a REAL PAIN.
But Yes PalPal Standard in NOP comits the order when you hit the button for paypal before paying.
