Hello, I have a current project going requiring paypal to have an order processed than the software confirms that the order took place after the transaction has been sent. How do you do this?
Take a look on hotscripts for paypal IPN scripts or you can download the reference guide from paypal and come up with something on your own.
Ah, I didn't know that. I ended up using one that I could customize a bit to update a few items in my database if a transaction is successful.
If your using IPN then you will want to use this http://www.eliteweaver.co.uk/testing/ipntest.php HTML:
Thank you for all your help. Any more suggestions? Hm... How do you make an order form use an IPN script anyhow? I have papers on writing them but have no clue how to use them.
an order form doesnt use a IPN script. IPN is the backend script. Once a payment is made IPN will post back values and allow to to perform you backend scripts to deal with the order. The IPN mearly requires you to post back to paypal to verify before it release the data back to you.
