Hi there, I wish to get the IPN up and running using Cgi/perl, but I don't know where to start. Do I upload the example script on the PayPal website or what?? If so where do i upload it to and what modifications do i need to make. Also how do I get the code to email a product to my potential buyer once the transaction has been completed using IPN? Please help!! regards Steve

Hi Andrew,

But isn't there a way for me to do all this between my server and the paypal server instead? If so can you just give me a few guidelines to get me started?

regards

Steve

e-Itemseller is a script written by me that installs on your server and comunicates with the paypal server no middle man. Payloadz is served using the Payloadz server I think I really have not looked into it.

I can try to help as much as I am willing to but from your questions It seems like you are not to experienced and are looking for a premade answer.

I wish to get the IPN up and running using Cgi/perl, but I don't know where to start.

Read the IPN Manual and other paypal manuals

Do I upload the example script on the PayPal website or what??

Well truthfully the sample script does not do anything but check an IPN post to see if it is valid. You will have to write the code to have the post do what you need it to do.

If so where do i upload it to and what modifications do i need to make?

You need to upload it to your server and make a lot of modifications. You will need to test to see if the payment was acctually made. Check a few other variables for security. Then write the parts to controll your download.

Also how do I get the code to email a product to my potential buyer once the transaction has been completed using IPN?

You write the function. Sendmail is most commonly used with perl scripts
