PayPal IPN Sandbox - Changing the Notification URL...

‎Oct-19-2019 01:13 PM
Essentially - I update the URL in the Current settings Notification URL with a new URL  -and PAyPAl continues to send to the old URL - even though it clearly shows the new URL as saved and updated Message delivery Enabled.   I had set a URL as my 'Notification URL' - https://example.com/ppl-name1.php - in my PayPal sandbox account. It worked fine and testing went well. I decided to rename my 'Notification URL' to https://example.com/ppl-name2.php. I updated the detail with the new URL here: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/customerprofileweb?cmd=_profile-ipn-notify It accepted and saved the new URL. But now paypal still sends the notifications to the old URL. No matter how many times I try - even deleting the saved URL setting and turning off notifications and turning them back on. It still will not send to the new URL. Yet it clearly shows the new URL as the saved value. I have verified the old URL is being called in the IPN History page. ... View more

Hey : ) Thanks very much for the response! 🙂 I really appreciate it 🙂 Do you mind if I ask you a follow up quetion?   ------- Is it possible to simply add parameters to the Paypal Express Checkout code - that will set up for subscription - or point to an existing subscription - already set up on my seller account? payment: function(data, actions) { return actions.payment.create({ payment: { transactions: [ { amount: { total: '0.11', currency: 'USD' }, hosted_button_id: 'PAYPALS_BUTTON_ID_7KDHB44PVYQ21', or_maybe_subscriptio_detials: 'monthly' } ] } }); You know - like you can with their regular HTML buttons: <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="PAYPALS_BUTTON_ID_7KDHB44PVYQ21"> Or do you need to set up the subscription details dynamically through the API? I like the pop-up and staying on your site of the Express Checkout. But I am not sure it is worth a bunch of additional coding - when I could just send them off to PayPal with a HTML button. ...

Software Subscription Monthly - Pass ID of custome...

Software Subscription Monthly - Pass Customer ID from my website - Receive confirmation with same  Customer ID from my website Hi : ) I am working on a software service and am offering a monthly subscription for my software service. I am currently working on the subscription part - and am wanting to implement a paypal monthly recurring payment solution. I have spent quite a bit of time looking over PayPal documentation, and trying different buttons, webhooks, IPN methods etc. The problem is that I am not sure what solution to use - and am maybe confused by the multiple options. What is most important to me is - that when the customers fill out the form on my website - and are then directed PayPal to pay - I then want to know that specific Customer ID from my website has successfully paid. Can you please tell me: - Which SPECIFIC option(s) PayPal has that I can pass Customer ID from my website of that customer - let's say a subscription ID from my site - and that PayPal will then send the customer back with my subscription ID, that I passed them on to PayPal with. Which is the easiest option to do that with? I simply want the customer to: - sign up at my site. (my part) - be issued a unique Customer ID from my website (my part) - click a PayPal payment/subscribe button (my part) - be sent to PayPal to pay for the subscription (paypal's part) - be returned to my site with the unique Customer ID from my website from my site - as well as a confirmation of payment from PayPal (paypal's part) Please do not simply pass me to the general area of the development sections - As I said - I have already been through all of that and find there is too much information. Please direct me to a specific solution, or example, or tutorial that covers a solution that will fit what I need. Thank you very much for your assistance. Regards, ... View more
