    Hello-
    I'm a bit confused about the "pending submissions" on one of my forms.  I read the explanation, but just to get a better understanding, does it pretty much mean that someone filled out the form, hit submit, and then didn't complete the paypal transaction?

     

    Thanks!

    Thank you for contacting us.

    Yes, your understanding is correct. The Incomplete/Pending Submission usually means that user did not complete the payment (closed the PayPal page).

    If paid submissions are going to Incomplete/Pending Submission, this can be fixed by enabling IPN on your account.
