In Virtuemart 2.0 How to create invoice only if the Paypal payment is success

Question

I using Joomla 2.5.6 and Virtuemart 2.0. In the order section presently the invoice is created always with the payment method Paypal. I need to change invoice creation in Paypal payment method, Only if the payment is success.

Please help me to do this.

Answer 1

You could assign the appropriate order status for successful transaction and capture payment under:

Virtuemart -> Shop -> Payment Methods -> *Paypal -> Configuration -> Successful transactions / Capture Payment

SUCCESSFUL TRANSACTIONS

By default, Successful transactions are set to Confirmed.

The order is set to this status when PayPal informs that transaction was successful and the money is in the merchant's account.

CAPTURE PAYMENT

By default, Capture Payment are set to Shipped.

This parameter is only valid, if the Payment action parameter is set to Authorization and Capture

If the payment is captured via the PayPal account, the order will be set to this status in VirtueMart

VirtueMart will capture the payment of the previously created authorization, when the order is set to this status.

If you want to create a new order status only for paypal payments you could do it under:

Virtuemart -> Configuration -> Order Statuses

Invoice creation handled at:

Virtuemart -> Configuration -> Configuration -> Checkout -> Default Order Status to create an invoice
