A recent request from many magento clients in later version of magento is the paypal problem.

Any new orders paid for by paypal automatically become set to ‘Complete’ this causes problems for many clients due to orders been missed or in one customer case they export all orders as they are processed filtered by the status processing so many orders were easily missed.

This is a small bug in Magento but we have found a simple fix for this, I would only recommend this to be carried out by a confident person in coding as one slip can break the system.

To fix this issue follow these simple steps below.

Locate File: app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/standard.php

On line 423 you should have this line of code:
Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_COMPLETE, true,

Replace this line with
Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_PROCESSING, true,

Save and upload and this will set new paypal orders to processing when payment is complete.

We hope this has helped, should you require help with this or any aspect of Magento Ecommerce Web Design feel free to drop us an email
