Wick'n'Wax Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 that someone has made a purchase on your site?I've just opened my website today. Just had my first sale and the first I knew was a paypal notification of payment.I was assuming I'd get a sales email?How does yours work? I'm using OS Commerce.TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSoaps Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 OsCommerce usually requires you to set up a feature that requests the system to email a copy of the order to you. My cart is OsCommerce based, and I had to request that. But my PayPal notification usually comes through first anyway!Congratulations on your first sale!!!

Wick'n'Wax Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 thanks guys well its only advertised word of mouth at the moment, but its the Charity Candle I'm doing, a lady that supports them has bought one.mmmm may look into setting up osc, but if the paypal notification is going to come thru anyway, wonder if I need to.I will accept cheques/postal orders too and have said they need to email me for my details if they wish to pay that way.Only problem was, in the reference on paypal, it just said my website name and not what she had bought.mmmmmneed to pluck up the courage to put my site on here lol, seen a lot of negativity sometimes and its scary lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chauntelle Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Your friends will be supportive and give you helpfull feedback even if slightly negative (in a good way) people that just purly bitch about others and there work are either just jealous or have a big chip on their shoulder and should find them something better to do!!

Even if your website is working - it'll one day just stop working and do that. I know this cos I used to use OScommerce, but found it so flaky and unreliable I gave up.Good luck and post your site. We have all helped you right from the start so we would all like to see where you are now - you can't leave us in suspense.Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 IN the osCommerce adminstration module, My Store section, there's a configuration for "Send extra order emails to". Put your email address in there, and you'll get a copy of the customers order. It has the full list of what they ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I use Mals and Paypal, so I get double notification. One is an email from the shopping cart about the order, and the other e-mail is the payment notification from PP. Works great. Congrats on your first website sale! May it be the first of many to come! :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
