Paypal IPN + Paypal Bug

[skeedo]

When you switch to a new website and email address using Paypal IPN, I was told this confuses Paypal because they are still using your old url/ email address and will result in Payment being sent but no order emails.

 

How can I fix this?

[Guest]

Have you reset the call back url on paypals website?

[skeedo]

How do I do that?

[Guest]

login to you paypal account, then go to:

 

profiles :arrow: Instant Payment Notification Preferences

 

Make sure IPN is turned on and set the callback url to paypal_notify.php

 

Thanks

Matt

Nice! Question...what if you have more than one website that uses Paypal IPN?

[Guest]

I presume you must have multiple paypals accounts.

 

You could contact paypal and see whether it is possible to send the callback url along with the total for example.

If you just want all of the boxes in the left column, open up column left, delete it all and replace it with this:

     $check = tep_db_fetch_array($check_query);

     if ($check['count'] > 0) {

       include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'best_sellers.php');

     } else {

       include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'product_notifications.php');

   } else {

   }

 }

?>

 

Then open up column right and delete EVERYTHING!

SORRY POSTED IN WRONG POST

I think that the PaPal IPN contribution already sends the callback URL to PayPal, so it's not necessary to configure your PayPal account to do that.

Ye, thats right actually, you just have to turn it on in your paypal profile, but you dont have to set the callback url

Ok well I even set the callback URL and orders are still not being created!
