PayPal IPN URL Problems (over different sites)


Autographs

Recommended Posts

I have multiple OSC Stores that All Sell the Same product, All on different URL's to Target Different Customer types for each site, ALL sell the same products

 

Now My problem is

 

Taking PayPal, on the MAIN site I have NO Problems, I have that sites IPN URL listed in paypal and it returns everything perfectly.

 

BUT the other sites will not talk with paypal after a payment is made because there is nowhere to add a different IPN URL

 

So when a customer places an order from one of the other sites, and pays with PayPal, it seems that they just have an abandoned shopping cart, and they get NO notice that their order was completed. Then a few of the nicer ones will of course accuse me of trying to rip them off, take their money ect...

 

I know PayPal doesn't want me opening 6 different accounts One for each of the 6 sites, but I really don't see another way of making this work on all the sites other than doing this?

 

Does anyone know of a solution that I can use before I have to open up more PayPal accounts?

 

Thanks in advance

you don't need to modify the PayPal account for it, as the PayPal module activate the PayPal IPN automatically and register correct domain name/website address for it.

I have ONE Paypal account, 6 different sites that take paypal, The Only one that WORKS, meaning returns the order and updates the status, is the one with the PayPal IPN URL put into paypal, the others when a paypal order comes in, Look like Abandoned carts, I'm going to have to assume that this doesn't work like you say because the ONLY site that works is the one with the IPN URL put into PayPal, When we removed the IPN URL, NOTHING worked, or at least when we tried that, maybe something else was messed up??

 

I could try that again if you think it will work, but I'm pretty sure I already tried without ANY URL in the IPN URL setting on PayPal.

 

Any ideas? I'd really like to get these other carts work ASAP and NOT have to open up a lot more paypal accounts, because I think that would be against their TOS and they could close them down and keep any money in the accounts since I broke TOS.

 

ANY help would be GREAT

Ok I have a little update, I Took out the one sites IPN URL and Turned IPN off and placed an order from another site with that PayPal address, It did NOT work, not update to status and it looks like an abandoned cart, as I thought it had done before, but I thought it best just to make 100% sure.

 

So anything else I can try?

I have ONE Paypal account, 6 different sites that take paypal,

I have one PayPal account and 3 websites and everything is working perfectly.

 

paypal do not repeat order number...

correct, by default the PayPal is checking every order number, but it's possible to disable this function in PayPal account settings.
