PayPal has recently changed how it posts to X-Cart resulting in sales actually going thru, but posting as failed transaction in X-Cart. We revamped our PayPal DPM mod to make it more compatible with PayPal and the recent changes that they have implemented. Our updated mod corrects this issue and allows for a better representation of sales vs failed transactions. Contact us now for a free upgrade to the latest version if you are running version 4.6 or 4.7! We are strongly suggesting that you incur the install fee & allow us to install this mod for you due to the complexity of the mod install. If you are running an earlier version, contact us to discuss how to get your site more current.
