When I sent a payment to my IPN processing page, the user just gets returned to their "My Account" page, not to my IPN page. Any ideas what this problem might be? Mark Campbell Web Developer VMC Communications

you need to activate the IPN in "your" account and then have a "return" url in your form as a hidden variable and a url in your account so IPN can talk to and send POSTed variables to. the return page is just a regular page the users sees as a thank you page.

Scoutt,

Thanks. I found the "additional options" button under subscriptions that allows for the successful url. I guess I have another problem since my IPN page is not being processed. I tested it using the third party testing page at IPNPAL and it works fine but, with paypal nothing happened when I made a payment.

As a possible cause of the problem, does anyone know if having cflocation tags in my ipn processing page (I am trying to use them to show a "problem with your payment" page) can cause the problem of not processing the page? What exactly should I have in my IPN processing page?

To activate IPN, you need to provide a Notification URL in your account Profile (or include "notify_url" in your Web Accept button).

To test, try POSTing the FORM below to your script (madify "action" to point to your script):

<form method="post" action="http://www.mysite.com/ipn.cfm">
<input type="submit" name="" value="Test IPN">
<input type="hidden" name="payment_date" value="17:53:45 Nov 5, 2002 PST">
<input type="hidden" name="txn_type" value="web_accept">
<input type="hidden" name="last_name" value="Breitenbach">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="payment_gross" value="0.01">
<input type="hidden" name="mc_currency" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="payment_type" value="instant">
<input type="hidden" name="verify_sign" value="AlWncXKLadIepzMosHhM.VWxC0Z6AZYI0ynXRnEUma0d3RMC.TXWaJro">
<input type="hidden" name="payer_status" value="unverified">
<input type="hidden" name="payer_email" value="pb-test@paypal.com">
<input type="hidden" name="txn_id" value="01G32341KC3727119">
<input type="hidden" name="first_name" value="Patrick">
<input type="hidden" name="quantity" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="receiver_email" value="pb-sell@paypal.com">
<input type="hidden" name="payer_id" value="QGVDAFGZ9XHLJ">
<input type="hidden" name="payment_method" value="non_cc">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="payment_status" value="Completed">
<input type="hidden" name="mc_gross" value="0.01">
<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="notify_version" value="1.4">
<input type="submit" value="Test IPN">
</form>
