Modules Paypal and/or Paypal IPN

Hello,

 

I want to add the Paypal module to my website (still in development) using osCommerce v.2.2 RC1.

Can i use only the standard Paypal module or do i need to use the Paypal IPN too? In fact, what is the IPN module and what it is doing more?

 

Also, i have a "Premier" Paypal account... Can i use it or it would be absolutely necessary to upgrade to a "Business" account?

 

Thank you very much!

Your Premier account will be fine.

 

PayPal IPN is the same as the standard PayPal module apart from when the customer clicks on Confirm Order and they go to PayPal it logs the order into the admin section.

If you use the standard PayPal module and if your customer does NOT return to your website after they have sent you payment then the order will NOT show in the admin.

 

Please use the IPN version.

There would be no point in using both, they do exactly the same job apart from the IPN module records the order before the customer pays you.
