    Hi Scott
    saw in another question this was asked but never answered.
    I have a script that passes the IPN to each domain I need it to go to and trying out your plugin to see if I need the Pro version.
    So I need the URL that’s returned for example
    my Hamradiocable site has this

      array('prefix' => 'app1',
        'domain' => 'hamradiocables.com',
        'path'   => '/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_Paypal',
        'live'   => true),

    its using woocommerce for the Path
    Now mind you this is only part of the scrip (I bet you knew that :>)
    what would your plugins return IPN path be?
    thanks
    Mitch

    The plugin passes an IPN URL to PayPal for each transaction. Then PayPal notifies your site if the sale is successful.

    This is how the IPN URL is generated:
    $notify_url = add_query_arg( 'wpeppsub-listener', 'IPN', home_url( 'index.php' ) );

    I’m the one who previously asked this question and testing the subscription recently I am not getting any IPN recorded in my history:

    I noticed this plugin just uses the site domain regardless of any page url of the button for the IPN url then with the signature query string:

    https://mydomain.com/?wpeppsub-listener=IPN

    That is the IPN url @n2rga to answer your question

    already entered this on my paypal ipn settings but still not working even on IPN history. I did a debug by Enable Logging and this is the only one that works.

    @scottpaterson

    You do not have any instruction on what to enter in the IPN url setting. The dev still needs to check the generated code to figure it out.

    Any paypal dev knows that it is required to enter a URL to enable IPN notification which you fail to include in your guide, hence this question being asked twice recently.

    I understand that you are trying to automate the process by including it in the form, but it is still required to set it on the paypal account (unless they have changed their process and this is not needed anymore) and you did not mention to just include the site domain if that is the case.
