How to solve comeback to shop problems with Paypal Payments

It's a simple manipulation to do and it will take about 5 minutes.

First of all, take time to read entirely this message to understand what you have to do. It seems to be long but it's very sample.

Working on OS Commerce imposes a comeback to shop on "catalog/process.php" in order to send mail so as to add in database the order.

And it's here that the problem appears: This comeback is not automatic and even if it will be modified at the Paypal account level (preferences/reception payments preferences on website: automatic returns on), the feedback doesn't work if your client do not use a Paypal account to pay. If he wants to pay with a credit card, Paypal show a link to comeback and he ha to do this step himself.Unfortunately, many people shutdown after there payments without doing this. As a result, you have neither mail nor order in the administration part. You just have a mail from Paypal to inform you about the payment of the order. But you haven't got the details of the order. So what the client wants? What have you sold? How to manage this in your administration part?

Many solutions still exist but they add charts in the base and so on... At the end, we have orders that can not be managed through the classical administration.

To solve this problem, you need to force a php process before the Paypal payment.
