[rajeshraval786]

Hello Team

I am suffering from the issue when I place an order from the cart using PayPal express checkout popup button and it's redirecting me back to the checkout page to confirm the order and then I press the place order button and after that my order is going to be completed earlier that issue is not there now, How can I skip place order button and redirecting them to direct on thankyou page in woocommerce.

Give me any solution, please...

Thanks in advance.

Hey @rajeshraval786 👋

I am suffering from the issue when I place an order from the cart using PayPal express checkout popup button and it's redirecting me back to the checkout page

Just to make sure we are on the same page, here is what I'm understanding the issue to be:

• The customer selects the PP button from the cart
• The customer enters payment details via the PP popup
• The customer is redirected to the order confirmation page (checkout)
• The customer confirms the order and is finally redirected to the thank you page

If this is correct, then this is actually expected behavior. The only time you should immediately be redirected to the thank you page is when placing the order from checkout. Every other time, we want to direct customers to this confirmation page to give them a chance to verify the order details and finalize the order.

Yes, Exactly but is there any solution for skip the confirmation page and place directly order.

[chickenn00dle]

There is not a way to change this behavior. I'm not too sure whether removing the ability for customers to confirm their order in WC is something we should be doing either.

That said, I'll go ahead and re-open this issue and make it an enhancement request. Although, as a heads up, it's unlikely we will be able to look into this in the near future.

[rajeshraval786]

So for now confirmation page is remaining as it is, we can't do anything with this plugin to skip that page and direct redirecting on thankyou page.

[chickenn00dle]

That's right.

[rajeshraval786]

But earlier we were not facing this issue on the website

[rajeshraval786]

A few Days ago, the PP button stopped working and suddenly vanished from the website. Somehow we managed to get it back.
and after that only, this new issue occured.

and after that only, this new issue occurred.

Hmm. This shouldn't have been working this way before your PP button vanished and if it was, it may have been a bug.

When triggered from cart or product pages, we explicitly redirect back to checkout when returning from Paypal here:

woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout/assets/js/wc-gateway-ppec-smart-payment-buttons.js

Lines 191 to 198 in 85a478d

	// Navigate to order confirmation URL specified in original request to PayPal from back-end.
	if ( ! wc_ppec_context.use_checkout_js ) {
	const query_args = '?woo-paypal-return=true&token=' + data.orderID + '&PayerID=' + data.payerID;
	return actions.redirect( return_url + query_args );
	}
	return actions.redirect();
	}

Otherwise, when triggered from checkout, we instead manually trigger the checkout form when returning from PayPal here:

woocommerce-gateway-paypal-express-checkout/assets/js/wc-gateway-ppec-smart-payment-buttons.js

Lines 184 to 189 in 85a478d

	if ( fromCheckout ) {
	// Pass data necessary for authorizing payment to back-end.
	$( 'form.checkout' )
	.append( $( '<input type="hidden" name="paymentToken" /> ' ).attr( 'value', ! wc_ppec_context.use_checkout_js ? data.orderID : data.paymentToken ) )
	.append( $( '<input type="hidden" name="payerID" /> ' ).attr( 'value', data.payerID ) )
	.trigger( 'submit' );

This has been the case for at least the last year if not longer.

As I mentioned, this is expected behavior and this is not something that can be changed.
