What Is The Default Paypal Module

I don't mean to sound a thick, but which of the Paypal modules is the one that comes with OSC when it gets installed? I'm having a slight problem with it, and I just need to know where to do a bit of research on it.

The default paypal module is not very reliable.

It requires the customer to redirect back to your site which often doesn't happen.

It allows someone to spoof order payments by visiting order success page.

It will not work for new paypal customers who need to verify their account.

 

You should use paypal ipn module, i believe the one below is working good.

osCommerce PayPal IPN Module v2.2 For 2.2MS2 Terra 14 Jan 2007

 

The ipn module allows paypal to contact your server directly and update the order status. So even a echeck that clears 7 days later will update the order and of course send you the normal email.
