Update timeline

  1. investigating Nov 27, 2023, 07:44 PM UTC

    Some small subset of Paypal transactions are not moving into a completed status. We are investigating the extent and time period of the problem.

  2. investigating Nov 29, 2023, 02:03 PM UTC

    We have confirmed only a very small subset is affected. We are working with Paypal to resolve the issue.

  3. investigating Nov 30, 2023, 03:45 PM UTC

    We continue to work with Paypal to resolve the issue. Note: Stuck orders would have been declined if allowed to move towards completion. None of these transactions would have resulted in income.

  4. investigating Nov 30, 2023, 06:08 PM UTC

    Note: When applicable, a license is generated for each affected order. If your storefront settings are set to display the license on the order completion page, we recommend temporarily disabling this. For web storefront, navigate to Storefronts > Web Storefronts > Settings > Completion page. Uncheck the box and click Save at the top right. For popup storefront, navigate to Storefronts > Popup Storefronts > Settings, scroll down to the Completion Page section at the bottom, uncheck the bottom checkbox, and click Save at the top right. Licenses are not being delivered to the customers via email.

    Paypal orders are no longer getting stuck. Cleanup efforts are TBD.
