PayPal Standard is really slow....

Has anyone used the paypal standard checkout option and experienced a slow transfer from your website to the paypal checkout page? i am experiencing about a 45 second delay from my site to paypal.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Phil

Also, on this site I can paste the url that is being generated to Paypal, put it in the address of a new browser window and it is instantaneous.

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=myuseraccountname%40domainname.com&item_name=Order Number 36741&custom=31&amount=0.01&no_note=1&currency_code=USD&invoice=367411&rm=2&no_shipping=1&return=http%3a%2f%2fsitename.com%2fPaypalPDTHandler.aspx&cancel_return=http%3a%2f%2fsitename.com%2fPaypalCancel.aspx&first_name=firstname&last_name=lastname&address1=1234%2fSW%2f983rd&address2=&city=Some%2fCity&state=AL&country=US&Email=myemailaddress%40domainname.com

(Certain items in the url have been changed...)

It appears that line 62 in CheckoutConfirm.ascx.cs is what is taking so much time.
string result = OrderManager.PlaceOrder(paymentInfo, NopContext.Current.User, out orderID);

Checking the time difference from a timestamp before this line and a timestamp after this line is 42.22 seconds.

Also, this is not using the sandbox.

Thanks again for any help in this matter.

Well, I don't have any problems with Paypal standard. I think the problem comes from your internet connection or Hosting connection. I host with GoDaddy and it's fine.

That is very promising!  It might be a setup issue?

We are hosting with GoDaddy also, and it is not fine for us.

My internet connection from speedtest.net is 6.44Mb/s down, 3.37Mb/s up, 92ms ping response.  So I doubt it is my internet connection.

lovevhvlove, how long does it take for PayPal to come up when you click confirm?  What is the url for your store?  I would love to see it.

Thank you for your input,
Chas

Hi

I want to setup paypal standard, can any body help? I need help on the nopcommerce side, i've got everything i need from paypal. Thanks

Follow these steps to configure your account for PDT:
1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click the Profile subtab.
3. Click Website Payment Preferences in the Seller Preferences column.
4. Under Auto Return for Website Payments, click the On radio button.
5. For the Return URL, enter the URL on your site that will receive the transaction ID posted by PayPal after a customer payment.
6. Under Payment Data Transfer, click the On radio button.
7. Click Save.
8. Click Website Payment Preferences in the Seller Preferences column.
9. Scroll down to the Payment Data Transfer section of the page to view your PDT identity token.

nopCommerce. Go to admin area, then Configuration, then "Payment Methods". Click "PayPal Standard" and enter required information.

5. For the Return URL, enter the URL on your site that will receive the transaction ID posted by PayPal after a customer payment.


What does that mean??  I have no idea what URL will receive the transaction ID.  Is that something that is set up within nopCommerce that I can find somewhere if I keep searching?  Is it just the URL "home" page of my shop?

Perhaps I'm just a complete n00b, but some of the instructions within nop seem to be just vague enough that I have to guess what I should do.  Is there a more comprehensive user manual anywhere?  nopCommerce for Dummies, perhaps?  

I am so frustrated right now.  I'm not a programmer.  I have had a few classes in the past, but I've forgotten everything I ever learned and really never liked coding anyway.  So...is this ecommerce solution going to be too difficult to use without having someone help me who understands how to write code?

If so, I'm probably going to have to relocate my entire site to a webhost that will actually support the packages that they sell you (nop is my 2nd ecommerce solution...the first one is broken and webhost4life doesn't seem to want to fix it...not even pleas to the CEO have gotten any response) or just forget a store altogether.

Did I mention that I'm extremely frustrated with all of this?  *LOL*

Can anyone help a lady out, please?

*sheepish grin*

Yeah, all that whining and now I just found what I was looking for in another thread.  So, nevermind me.
