Installing the PayPal IPN

 

Copy the files in the directory structure set in the contribution download file to your osCommerce installation directory inc. the new /ext/ folder.

 

Can Anyone elaborate on these instructions? Specifically, I am confused with the "installation directory" What is that?

 

Then the term inc.(does that refer to include?)

 

I have gotten this to almost work, then things changed some how. Now after repeated trial and error, I am lost.

 

Please help if you can, all I want to ackomplish is a digital download shop and it seems from all of my reading, that this module is necessary.

IPN stands for instance Payment Notification.Its a backend system that Paypalhas to inform site owner about a payment recd.

So this code is not executed when purchse thru browser happens but when Paypal receives payment it sends a notification to notify url which is in ext folder.

 

Here the code talks with paypal to make sure no spoofing has happened and if it get verified plus payment status as complete will set the order status as needed.
