PayPal IPN Warning

    I am receiving an email from PayPal (confirmed that it is legit):

    Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing:

    https://mysite.com/ipn_main_handler.php

    If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account.

    My site name was correct, I just changed it before posting here. How do I fix this? Payments are coming through fine

    Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.`

    Hi there ??

    Could you please make sure that the full URL in the IPN settings is switched to https://example.com/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_Paypal?

    Let me know if that works for you!

    Cheers.

    Thanks for your quick response. Where would I find that url? In looking in the WooCommerce settings under Payments and PayPal Express, there is no field that is asking for a url.

    Hello there,
    The URL setting would be in PayPal.com.

    1. Log in to your PayPal account at PayPal.com.
    2. Go to Settings (Gear Icon) > Account Settings > Notifications > Instant Payment Notifications (Update).
    3. Click the Choose IPN Settings button, then use this URL, replacing example.com with your own URL:

    https://example.com/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_Paypal

    Thank you. I have made the change in PayPal. Hopefully that ends the emails.

    I will let you know if another one arrives. I do not get frequent sales, so it may be a while before I get a sale and do not see the email.
