I think it is crazy that someone would send 5 different emails to a buyer if they bought 5 different products in one order. That would certainty leave me scratching my head as a customer.

What I currently do is use the PayPal generated packing slip that contains my logo and copy paste it into to corresponding email address for each order. As you might imagine, this can take up a lot of time depending on how many orders you might receive per day. Not a very great solution - but I guess it works.]]> E-junkie Discussions; Logonwheeler http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/1165/pg/0#post3134 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/1165/pg/0#post3134 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 16:55:02 GMT
I found a place that generates scripts to do this:

And then you can test the scripts here:

But actually getting it to work with real PayPal transactions, that's a nut I've yet to crack.

I have IPN set up in my PayPal account, but it just never seems to hit my script when a transaction goes through...]]> E-junkie Discussions; chriscoyier http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/1165/pg/0#post3134 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/1165/pg/0#post3134 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 00:14:44 GMT It wouold also be nice for a visual description instead of being directed a certain post or topic section. junkie cart is really cool but some of the explainations are vague. I haven't even completed my end of the thank you stuff & Google checkout so I have no clue what im up for next. Anyways....]]> E-junkie Discussions; UglySign http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/1165/pg/0#post3134 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/1165/pg/0#post3134 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 22:43:39 GMT
I'm trying to figure out how send an email confirmation of an E-Junkie order to a specific email address (for my client).

This email can't be the PayPal email address. Even though those are perfect and have all the info we would need (name, address, items, total). This email address just needs to get order confirmations and not all the other PayPal emails, like the ones you get when you make withdrawals.

This email can't be the E-Junkie email address, either. I know I already get order confirmation emails to this address, but they just look like big "variable dumps" and my client was confused by it.

I also played with generating those "Thank You" emails that E-Junkie lets to attach to individual products. Those are pretty nice because you can put variables inside them (like name, address, etc) and then have them sent to you as well as your customers. I figured I could do this and then just auto-forward them to the email address through my own email client. This didn't pan out just because you get one of these for each individual product ordered, not the entire order, which was also confusing to the client.

Then I tried messing with PayPal IPN and trying to have a script on my server that would blast out an email to the client email address when a successful order was placed. This is just an extremely complicated solution to a simple problem and honestly I didn't have very much success getting it to actually work.

Has anyone else need to do this?

It just seems like it should be a pretty simple thing to do, just getting order emails to go to an email address.
