I am new to sandbox and paypal payment gateway. I am using paypal adaptive payment to pay amount to two people at a time. My current code works perfectly. I am using the paypal generated code. I just want to know that is it possible that when the payment is made successfully can I make that entry to my database. I have my php code, but where do I need to write this?
Thanks in advance(plzz no down votes)
You should wait for the IPN message that contain details about the payment status

You need to define the url of the php script that listen for those messages in your paypal account. There are some php examples on how to implement it.

How can i use IPN for PAYPAL PAYMENT ADVANCED?
I am working on a website where the payment system needs to be changed from paypal standard to paypal payment advanced. The transaction type for the website is almost always a 'Authorization'. So, we capture payment later when we ship the item.
The problem i am facing is finding a way to receive IPN or something equivalent for it to update the system if transaction has been captured. I used to use the CUSTOM and notify_url for reciving IPN in the old system. But I dont know what to use for PAYPAL ADVANCED.
note: i am using OpenCart, PHP and layout A for paypal advanced.
I am using parallel adaptive payment. i got the php coding from following link of paypal developer` website.
https://www.paypal-labs.com/integrationwizard/adaptive/main.php
Now the transaction of amount takes place successfully. But i want to store the transactions details such as
1.transaction id,2. Amount 3.Status etc. After the returns from paypal to my website
Presently i did this with paypal sand box account
You could use IPN to get information back to your website that pertains to the transaction. You can find more on IPN on PayPal Developer's Site.
Im haing a problem iv been researching for weeks now on the paypal API but i just can't figer how to do this.
I need there to be a button on my website which then it goes to paypal.
Once you have paid the chosen amount it goes to a php page which updates the database though php.
You have to turn on paypal ipn in your paypal preferences. Once paypal has the money it sends you a transaction back to your server. In the script that accepts the transaction you can have it update your tables.
Documentation : https://www.x.com/sites/default/files/ipnguide.pdf
generally you pass a notify_url parameter with the request, and set up a page which handles and validates IPN notifications, and PayPal will send requests to that page to notify you when payments/refunds/etc. go through. That IPN handler page would then be the correct place to update the database to mark orders as having been paid.
i found a tutorial here: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/using-paypals-instant-payment-notification-with-php/
I found more suitable the PayPal NVP API instead of tradional IPN (Instant Payment Method)
You can find several code examples for PHP (including very similar to your problem and more advanced) in the library code for NVP samples
First time I am trying paypal adaptive payments. Everything is working fine, I tested on sandbox and it works well. Now I need to track whether the payment was successful or not? I was looking into IPN. I saw it and I think it will be perfect to make the success call.
Currently I am using the adaptive code generated by paypal, I am just confused where to call the IPN function(I am using this IPN script)
Can any one help with this?
You don't call the IPN function, PayPal calls your IPN script at a pre-specified URL when it wants to notify you of a payment.
(In soviet PayPal, function calls you!)
i'm trying to integrate paypal ipn in my site
Here's the situation :
All prices will saved in the database
when user select to pay the user will be transfered to paypal (with price given by db) ,after payment i want verify payment if its accurate and then want it to add certain rows in db !
i checked http://cms.paypal.com
but i couldn't get it work .
can anybody explain me ?
For Paypal ipn you need to setup a script which will keep handling requests from paypal server. Based on these requests you need to further process you order. Sometimes a order is accepted initially but later declined. You can handle these cases only if you have ipn in place.
For frontend basic payment processing use a simple form or paypal express checkout.
