I am about to set up payment modules on my new website and am asked for paypal IPN. I read at paypal that: "Simply enter a URL at which you wish to receive notifications. Once you enable Instant Payment Notification (IPN), PayPal will send payment notification posts along with encrypted code to this URL for each payment you receive. When you receive this notification, you post the notification information and encrypted code back to a secure PayPal URL. PayPal will then authenticate the notification. IPN works for all PayPal payments received from other PayPal members; however, it does not post notifications for other payments received such as Money Market dividends, Merchant Referral Bonuses, and so on. " But..What URL should that be? I am not so familiar with this, and am not sure about where it's normal to receive notifications. And: If I don't set this up, I suppose the payment process will fail?
Hi, basically you need a page here say ipn.php which is having a code for mailing and all that and you would like to mention the URL of this page in notification_url field. It doesn't get failed if you don't set this up.
Thanks for the reply So, for a total non-PHP person...How do I set up such a page with correct coding without messing up something?
