Hi EmsEMs,

 

Before activating Instant Payment Notification, please read the instructions to make sure you can support the notification and authentication system.

To activate Instant Payment Notification:

1. Log in to your PayPal account at www.paypal.co.uk
2. Click 'Profile' near the top of the page.
3. Select ‘My selling preferences’.
4. Under ‘Getting paid and managing my risk’, in the ‘Instant payment notifications’ section, click 'Update'.
5. Check the checkbox and enter the URL to which you would like to receive HTML posts.
6. Click 'Save'.

When the notification is activated, PayPal sends payment notification posts with encrypted code to this URL for each payment you receive. When a customer makes a payment to you, PayPal posts a notification to your server at a URL you specify.

 

I hope this helps

It sounds like you may need assistance in integrating PayPal to your website. I would suggest that you go to our developers website as you will find a wealth of information in relation to carts and integration. To go to our developers website please click here

Hi Paula

 

Im a bit stuck setting up my account with MyFlashStore.net

 

using these instructions - http://support.myflashstore.net/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/12/0/how-do-i-set-up-my-paypal...

Thier support are saying that it doesn't matter that i can enter any URL

Hi giorgiogu, 

 

I would advise that you upgrade your account to a business account and ensure that your account is verified. This should allow you activate your IPN. 

 

Thanks
