Auto Processing (via Pay Pal)

[Darren]

Hi there, I can’t get wootickets to auto process payments from Pay pal. I have added the identity token, setup IPN and still no luck. Please help!

Hi Darren!

So essentially you want orders to automatically complete, is that correct and does this help if so?

[Darren]

That is correct! Once a customer successfully purchases a ticket via PayPal it needs to auto complete and send them a ticket. At the moment it’s not doing this.

[Barry]

OK – and the proposed solution (that I linked to) doesn’t solve this?

If so it may be more appropriate to speak to our esteemed colleagues across at WooThemes: this is really something that happens at WooCommerce level, WooCommerce Tickets has no real control over the order flow.

(You can bear this out by creating a test product – unrelated to tickets – and then running through a test purchase.)

[Darren]

That worked a charm thank you, thank you Barry 🙂
– For others with this issue, simple solution is copy this into your theme functions.php file (EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN OVERRIDING CODE)

/**
* Auto Complete all WooCommerce orders.
* Add to theme functions.php file
*/

add_action( ‘woocommerce_thankyou’, ‘custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order’ );
function custom_woocommerce_auto_complete_order( $order_id ) {
global $woocommerce;

if ( !$order_id )
return;
$order = new WC_Order( $order_id );
$order->update_status( ‘completed’ );
}

[Barry]

Glad that helped 🙂

EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN OVERRIDING CODE

Definitely: it’s always wise to be cautious – especially if you are using a theme which is likely to receive updates that might wipe any changes to functions.php. In cases like this, you could always consider make this change within a child theme functions.php file or indeed you could set it up within a plugin of its own.

At any rate, I’ll go ahead and close this thread as it looks like you’re all sorted – but if we can help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new thread and one of the team will be only too happy to assist 🙂

Last but not least, we’re always keen to hear people’s thoughts on The Events Calendar and if you’d like to leave a note about your experiences with the plugin so far over on our plugin review page we’d love to read it. Thanks again!
