I am interested is there a way to send the order summary email after the user has finished paying through PaypPal?

Hi Mirko,

After the transaction has completed successfully, PayPal (optionally) sends back a notification (IPN) to any URL of your choice. This is the only way of knowing that a transaction is complete

Couch's cms:paypal_button works using the above-mentioned IPN (http://www.couchcms.com/docs/concepts/paypal.html).

CouchCart, however, currently cannot use the IPN because it does not store in database any info about the 'orders' (to process IPN it'd need to tally it with the corresponding order).

So, I am afraid, but this'll have to wait till CouchCart has a proper order management function.

Ok, got it. But PayPal does send email to seller's email address, does it include the full order in it?

Yes, it does. but that email is sent by PayPal directly to the seller'e email - there is no Couch anywhere in the picture. See? So there is no 'post-processing' we can do using Couch here.

Thanks KK, I get it that it is being sent by PayPal and that there is no Couch involved.
Guess I will tell my client to forward the paypal emails to his desired orders@ address, or to use that address as the selling address, that way the emails will arrive directly there.

Thanks
