I have integrated PayPal merchant account to the website , m doing it for a client
People can sign up to the website after subscribing and hence paying thru PayPal .we have recurring payments. But if people unsubscribe from the site their access to the site is closed but my issue is if people don't click the unsubscribe on the site but just cancel the recurring payment from their own PayPal accounts how would I cancel their subscription on the site.
Please suggest some PHP code or idea to cancel the subscription.
Thanks in Advance, vikas tyagi
i got it a perfect solution of my question
In addition to email notification, PayPal can send you the transaction data (also called Instant Payment Notification) to a specific url. With Instant Payment Notification, PayPal sends payment notification messages with encrypted code to the specified URL for each payment you receive. Follow the instructions below to setup Instant Payment Notification.
Go to the PayPal website and log in to your account.
Click "Profile" at the top of the page.
Click "Instant Payment Notification Preferences" in the Selling Preferences column.
Click "Edit IPN Settings."
Enter the notification URL and select "Receive IPN messages."
Click "Save."
You can send customized emails from the Instant Payment Notification data. Please see http://paypaltech.com/SG2 for sample scripts.
we can customize sample script code according our need.
Add the logic to your Paypal IPN handler, Paypal should send a notification to your server via IPN with that information.

Another idea could be queryiing paypal API and see if the subsscription is still active when the user logs in.
But im sure IPN handler is easier to implement

I am making a event hosting website using php as backend language.So in this site we are showing various kind of events. So when user comes to our site he/she can register on the site and after registering he/she can browse through the events of their choices. Now they can buy a ticket for any event in which they want to participate.
To make the payment process I have integrated paypal api. So when a user will click on Buy Ticket button on any event and he/she will be redirected to paypal portal to proceed for payment.
I also need to store the info in my database that whom has made successful payments for which event. But the problem I am facing is that when someone returns from paypal after making successful or may be unsuccessful payment then the session variable in which I have stored the userid, that variables becomes empty.
Now if I don't know the userid who have done the transaction, then how I can store the user with the transaction to the database.
I know that on various shopping sites same kind of functionality must be implemented but I want to know how people implement this with paypal.
You can integrate the IPN function(which is PayPal's service) to fix the issue.
IPN(Instant Payment Notification) is a PayPal feature that sends messages about payments
(and other transactional events) directly from PayPal to your website(s)' back-end systems.
Logic:
While a payment received on your PayPal account, PayPal will send IPN message to your IPN script almost at the same time.
After receiving the IPN , your system can refer the IPN message to do the subsequent processing- update payment status into your system or send email etc.
But the follow-up actions need to be integrated by your system(Including send email system).
This process is complex, but it is the only way to achieve your marketing goal.
Following and the IPN integration guide.
Please kindly refer them.

I am building a small marketplace for custom made products.
The sellers will register, enter they paypal address then
list their products for sale.
When a visitor decides to buy a product. The user will
be redirected to Paypal and the payment will be sent to
seller's PayPal address. I don't want to make users
to enable IPN, not to confuse them. Also there is no
way I can check whether a client as successfully enabled
IPN or not. So it is not an option for me.
So is there any way my website can be notified after
a successful payment that was sent to seller's paypal?
1 Client Selects Product764 of Seller Bobby192
2 Paypal form sends the money to Bobby192 paypal.
3 Client completes the payment
4 Paypal sends payment confirmation back to my website without IPN.
Thank you!
Yes, you can do this with PayPal's Adaptive Payments APIs. A highlevel overview of the options can be found here:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/integration-guide/APIntro/
We are developing a website where people can use our tools to fundraise for their organization or cause. I was wondering if with paypal IPN I can send money directly to the person's PayPal account doing the fundraising.
For example. User John Doe signs up on our website Website.com. As part of the signup process John Doe enters his PayPal email address he accepts payments with.
He now has the page Website.com/JohnDoe to accept payments/donations from.
Using IPN & PayPal payments pro can I have the payment sent to his account directly and still have our IPN address (Example: Website.com/ipn) receive the payment notification and payment information?
Also does Paypal Payments pro work inside of IFrames. Let's say John Doe embeds his Website.com/JohnDoe into his own website JohnDoe.com. Or the other option is in a Facebook page custom tab.
If PayPal payments pro, or standard will not work for this will Adaptive Payments work? In adaptive payments does each person I'm sending money to have to signup for it?
Thank you!
Yes, collecting payments to various email addresses/accounts is very easy, and you can have a single IPN service to verify these transactions. See the docs at:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNIntro/
.... for how to set the IPN address per-transaction (overriding any setting your merchants may be using account-wide for other transactions.
iFrames are a problem; PayPal has historically not allowed this for security reasons; they didn't want the potential for snooping js in other frames on the page. However as the web frameworks for this have matured PayPal has opened up some in-page checkout options (e.g. lightbox checkouts). You should check the latest docs (or ask someone # PayPal) which, if any, integration models/checkout experiences currently support running inside iFrames.
Adaptive payments is not very likely to be the product you want; you will want either an PayPal Pro/Express Checkout solution or something packaged in the newest Braintree SDKs.
And finally: yes, with a few exceptions that probably don't apply to your use case, PayPal pays out only to PayPal accounts. Thus every business or person would need to sign up for a PayPal account in which to receive PayPal payments. (Note that in some cases users can sign up after the payments arrive... payments to an unsubscribed email address will be held and that email address notified of the pending payment and asked to sign up & complete the transaction(s).)
Using IPN, it's possible to set the recipient's address and the notification_url dynamically (see https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNSetup/). So using this method it ought to be possible for a payment to 'John Doe' to be made at your site, and for the payment to be sent to 'John Doe', and for the IPN notification from Paypal to post to a listener script at a URL at your site.
I want package sales, when user click on purchase want to send user on paypal site, after success payment back to my site, I will update payment status if payed other wise will not update the payment status. 2nd question how will i know user payed?
PayPal IPN allows the PayPal servers to interact with yours, telling them statuses about if they've paid, missed payment or it failed etc.
https://www.paypal.com/ipn
For example, if you're using the Website Payments Standard (https://www.paypal-business.co.uk/accept-online-payments-with-paypal/index.htm) you send them to the PayPal site by sending hidden information in a form, they do their thing on PayPal and then get sent back. PayPal will then notify the server using the IPN details that were either sent or are in the account, letting the server know if it was successful or if anything else happened. Then your application that picks up the IPN, does its security checks, and then does the appropriate action (e.g. allows the item to be sent or them to login etc).
However - if you're doing subscriptions, I highly recommend not using PayPal. They suck for subscriptions.

If not work then ask question here.
Paypal IPN is not working in paypal account but its working correctly in sandbox. Please help us to solve the issue.How can we test these kind of situations if it occurs
Thanks
