Postback IPN

    Hi.
    I’m getting issues about IPN messages sent from Paypal.
    Their technical support told me that IPN messages are correctly received to my site, but my site doesn’t send any POSTBACK to Paypal IPN.
    They suggested to look at any plugin log file, but the log file doesn’t contain any information about lost IPN transactions.
    It works fine if I use IPN simulator instead, so I get correct IPN messages in IPN Paypal tab in WordPress and log file is filled with these IPN simulator transactions.
    Please help.
    Thanks a lot.

    I’m not sure I understand the problem. The plugin send POST backs to PayPal for verification, so it seems your script must not be running at all..??

    Are you seeing transaction data show up in the IPN list within your WP admin panel?

    The plugin doesn’t send POSTBACK to Paypal after receiveing, this is what Paypal support told me.
    The IPN list is empty.
    It has probably to do with the plugin I use to sell, that has its own IPN Handling which interfere I suppose.
    Just removed yours and it seems ok now. I need some more testing to see if I could reuse it because I find it very useful.
    Thanks!

    This plugin does send post back to PayPal. Whoever is telling you that is simply incorrect.

    PayPal may be telling you that they aren’t seeing any post back, and if your IPN script isn’t getting hit then that would indeed be the case. Since your IPN list is empty that seems to be the case.

    You are correct that if you set IPN in your PayPal account, but you have a plugin that is setting an IPN URL using the notify parameter in the payment request, that will override the PayPal profile setting. So that is why our script is never running.

    This sort of scenario is the reason we have the IPN Forwarder premium extension, which allows you to configure PayPal with our plugin’s IPN URL, and then you can setup forwarders to any other systems you’re using that also require IPN.
