User purchases paid membership/credit package » makes the payment » site admin receives the payment but membership/credit package is not added to user's account automatically. What to do?

Open Admin Panel » Dashboard » Finance page. Direct URL: www.sitename.com/admin/finance.

Presense of payment information on this page indicates that your site and your payment gateway are able to send/receive trasnaction data succesfully.

Absense of payment information, in turn, means that communication between your website and your gateway is either broken or has not been established at all. As a result user doesn't get purchased service automaitcally.

Make sure that you have configured your gateway account in accordance with our user guides:

• PayPal Billing

• CCBill Billing

Within both CCBill and PayPal Billing plugin configuration guides you are asked to use your site URL.

PayPal example: The IPN URL should be: http://sitename.com/billing-paypal/order/notify

CCBill example: Click the Advanced link in the menu on the left and enter your website URL. For example: http://www.my-sitename.com/billing_ccbill/order/postback/

Using correct site URL is very important. Your site URL might or might not contain “www” part. If you are not sure what your site URL is make sure to check this within the source code:

• Open ow_includes/config.php file via FTP or your Control Panel
• Find following line: define('OW_URL_HOME', 'http://your_URL_will_be_here/');

This is your site URL. When configuring your payment gateway account make sure to use the exact same URL as you see in your config.php.

SkaDateX stores available payment related data in ow_base_log database table. This includes both successfull transactions and ones that failed due incorrect configruations of plugin/gateway account.

• Open ow_base_log table
• Find the entry related to the payment you are interested in.
• Check what you have under “message” column for found entry.

If payment is processed successfully you will see payment data there:

In all other cases you will see the error message. Most of the times messages are self explanatory:
