Payflow and Magento2.4.2 paypal/transparent/redirect 404 error

Question

Is it samesite cookies that could be causing this issue?

In issues Chrome:inspect/ it has 10 complaints. Here is the first one, then in another window there are 9 -9 cookies 1 request

1 cookie Name Domain & Path _nx-nocache example.com/ 1 request redirect/

Our site uses Payflow, we have just upgraded to MAG 2.4.2, everything works except Credit Cards using PayFlow. When you select CC and submit payment the page never returns.

First return,

Request URL: https://payflowlink.paypal.com/ Request Method: POST Status Code: 200 OK

Then another return for the CSS which is OK.

Request URL: https://payflowlink.paypal.com/stylesheet/payflow-table-default.css Request Method: GET Status Code: 200 OK (from disk cache) Remote Address: 173.0.82.48:443 Referrer Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

Now the redirect link,

Request URL: https://example.com/paypal/transparent/redirect/ Request Method: POST Status Code: 302 Remote Address: 8.29.155.54:443 Referrer Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

The redirect link is in the return,

content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 date: Sun, 18 Jul 2021 13:57:08 GMT expires: Sat, 18 Jul 2020 13:57:08 GMT location: https://example.com/stores/store/redirect/?___store=canada&___from_store=default&___store=canada&uenc=aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yZS5xa2l0cy5jb20vcGF5cGFsL3RyYW5zcGFyZW50L3JlZGlyZWN0Lz9fX19zdG9yZT1jYW5hZGEmX19fZnJvbV9zdG9yZT1kZWZhdWx0 pragma: no-cache

Then the next response

Request URL: https://example.com/paypal/transparent/redirect/ Request Method: GET Status Code: 404 Remote Address: 8.29.155.54:443 Referrer Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

Does anyone know why I am getting a 404 error for the redirect?

Thank you for any help you can offer, this should be the easiest part of the process.

Answer 1

Under store switcher there is a location to include pages the store switcher should not interfere with, adding paypal/* made it so the silent redirect paypal/transparent/redirect/ did not have the store information included in its response, which is what was causing the page to hang indefinitely, have 5 redirects in a row and then nothing just a spinning box. Man that took a while to figure out. Have a great day everyone, if you don't play a sport, be one.

Answer 2

Glad you got it sorted and thank you for posting the solution. I have a strange question- we are in the last stages of finishing out Magento 2 upgrade and, as part of that, implementing transparent redirect. The problem is that, it seems to be very difficult to find out what this transparent redirect looks like "in the wild". The solution my developers have up in the beta site does not look to me like the way the TD solution should work- it has a PayPal pop-up window, and I was under the impression that ideally should not be the case. Do you happen to have a live website with TD implemented that we could look at to see what we should be aiming for?

Where can I find the store switcher tab in Magento 2 ?
