I'm getting this error message when PayPal returns the purchaser to the merchant. (Error: No payment gateway variable is set!). Despite this all the correct confirmation e-mails are sent by Cube Cart and by PayPal including the link e-mail to downloadable products. PayPal is configured for IPN and this is also selected in the PayPal configration module in CubeCart. Can anyone please suggest where I should be looking to overcome the problem. Thanks. Bob Freeman.

Bob.. It's probably IPN configured incorrectly.

For starters

On your cubecart, choose the paypal gateway for Standard and IPN.

Configure this to use IPN.

On paypal log in to your account, and click the little profile hyperlink.

Go to Instant Payment Notification and ensure the URL is http://www.your own site/modules/gateway/PayPal/ipn.php and is enabled.

Back on your cubecart edit includes/global.inc.php and ensure that your Store URL towards the end of the file includes a www.

There are lots of threads about this issue, it is just a matter of trial and error until you figure the correct combination.

Good luck
