IPN fails for Money Request or Mobile Payment type...

Hi - we have a basic online shopping cart that receives IPN messages when an order is placed and paid for through PayPal - and this works fine with IPN coming back from PayPal to confirm the payment is completed etc.   However, when we use the PayPal "Request Money" option from within the PayPal dashboard, the IPN system then tries to send an IPN to our system IPN listener.  This results in a HTTP response code 500 and a "failed" message in our PayPal IPN log file.   As a result, we are receiving the "PayPal Instant Payment Notification Warning" email from PayPal telling us the IPNs are failing.  The only IPNs that are failing are the manual money request transaction IPNs.   What would be the best way to handle this?  We don't need the IPNs for manual payment requests.  Can we turn it off, or can we add something to our IPN listener to receive these messages but not do anything with them?   Thank you   ...

Yes, you need to turn on IPN or if you prefer you can use PDT to get the variables in the return URL and display your message accordingly   IPN code samples are here: https://github.com/paypal/ipn-code-samples ... View more

I feel your pain, PayPal is a very unfriendly and complicated set up, though they are doing there best to modernise it and provide support. You could take a read of this helpful page that explains how to use PDT and IPN.  Suggest you to try to follow the tutorial to understand how it all works. https://www.codexworld.com/paypal-standard-payment-gateway-integration-php/     ...

Re: POST params not sent when redirected

It would appear that PayPal using PDT does not send any POSTED variables and instead you must use GET to query the transaction parameters.   https://github.com/paypal/pdt-code-samples/blob/master/paypal_pdt.php   It would be nice if there was some official clarification around whether using "rm" = "2" is now useless or not. In other words, send all variables by POST seems pointless if using PDT     ... View more
