Paypal IPN not working.

Why have you posted this 4 times? I’m marking the others resolved – quadruple posting is against the forum rules.

Woocommerce always OVERWRITE paypal IPN and sent it’s own IPN address.

Correct. This is required. If you don’t use the correct URL WooCommerce provides, your orders will never be marked ‘paid’ and can be cancelled. IPN does not support multiple IPN urls.

To disable the notify_url you’d need a developer to tweak the gateway. Not recommended for the above reasons.

Having the same problem.

I don’t want WC to overwrite the IPN address.
How do I tell WC to stop doing it?
which line in the code should be changed?

Hi Mike,

WC is not where I manage my stores.
I use a different DB for that… this is why I use paypal IPN.

When I had one store there was no problem, but now I have two.
The link in Paypal IPN lunches a script which gives my DB the data about the order. This script is the same for both stores. I don’t care from which store the user bought the items…

So I need for all cases that the PayPal IPN to run.

And when customers get emails about cancelled orders on this store, they are going to be super confused so it makes little sense to me still.

Hi Mike,

is it possible to cancel all emails from anywhere?
I don’t want my customers to receive any email from WC.
I will mail them from my own system.

I know about line 79 but i’m not sure how to modify it.
can I simply put it on comment? how to do it? Then will the IPN from paypal work?

Let me explain what I need maybe you will have a better idea.

I need that after payment data will be copied from WC to my own DB.
How do u suggest to do that?

someone900 you’re going into out-of-scope for support land now. I’d suggest you get a developer to do it if you’re copying data from place to place. Jobs.wordpress.net

The line I referenced can be filtered to keep it upgrade safe.

Emails can be disabled in the settings.

I see the general email setting does it also apply for paypal?
if I understand you correctly the paypal files look to whom send the emails as defined in the dashboard?

I don’t quite follow you about the change of IPN, if it’s only change one row in code why do I need a developer?

The email settings apply to WooCommerce emails. We don’t control PayPal emails.

I don’t quite follow you about the change of IPN, if it’s only change one row in code why do I need a developer?

Read the guide on filters. That will help you change the ‘1 line’ within editing the file directly. You asked “I need that after payment data will be copied from WC to my own DB.” and thats what I said would require a dev.

Hi Mike,
Is there a way to add an IPN to the request that goes to paypal? If so, where should I put it?
Thanks for the help!
