The submission is saved as complete even if no one was taken to PayPal to actually make the payment

    Hi,

    I just had 2 transactions on my form titled "Men's Club Breakfast RSVP's" not send folks to PayPal to complete their transactions. However, when I check the "Submissions" for this form it shows BOTH of them are complete. I then checked PayPal and they didn't not receive money from these folks and my customers BOTH said that, even when they clicked to pay for their reservations online, they were never taken to PayPal to finish.

    If they didn't finish on PayPal, then their transactions would be listed as an "incomplete payment" under the form submissions. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. Both Transactions show "completed."

    # 1 was on 2015-03-06 09:41:05 and is from Gary Schumer
    # 2 was on 2015-03-05 21:15:37 and is from John Louie

    Please let me know what happened and if it is working properly. I did some testing myself and I can't see what happened as it worked fine for me.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I made a test submission but I was redirected to the Paypal payment page:The submission is saved as complete even if no one was taken to PayPal to actually make the payment Image 1 Screenshot 20

    Is this form embed on a website? If so please let us know the url so we can run further tests.

    I will make further tests to try to determine the cause of this situation.

    Let us know if we can assist you further.

    Yes, the form is embedded in a page:
    http://www.sinaireno.org/community/mens-club

    The form is designed to redirect you to the PayPal payment page. That part is what is supposed to happen. It didn't happen in the two examples I gave earlier. I also did some testing from my PC and was not able to make the error happen on my PC.

    HOWEVER, I did another test from my iPad, and found that while the "captcha" was still loading (spinning eternally, which sometimes happens), the form would NOT display the PayPal payment field which kept me from choosing anything to bill. In this case, the form would let me check that I wanted to pay, then not display the payment field. If I clicked submit at that point, it would then mark the transaction as complete without taking me to PayPal to finish.

    I could be wrong, but I think that must be what is happening: the "captcha" field is still spinning, trying to load, which then prevents the PayPal field from loading on the form too. Why does "captcha" take so long to load sometimes? I've had other issues with "captcha" in the past as well.

    Thanks,
    Mike
