What I have done
I read from Paypal site that IPN can be used to:
Update their inventory.
Email a purchase confirmation.
Trigger order fulfillment.
Enable download of digital media.
Update their customer list.
Email a shipping notification.
Issue a refund.
Update accounting-related information.
And here is a way to configure IPN for Prestashop. Also I saw this file(3rd link) in a Prestashop Github fork.
There is no IPN in main repository, 4th link.
I read that Prestashop is intented to be used with Express Checkout.
My questions
Should I use Prestashop with IPN?
Where can I read how Express Checkout works with Prestashop?
Questions in case I should use IPN:
How to do the most basic setup of IPN within Prestashop?
What will this most basic setup do?
I can share only 2 links :(, 3rd and 4th link will not be here.

I'm using the same PayPal merchant account on multiple websites. Currently I'm using old-style PayPal links () with IPN notification.
Now I'd like to start using the PayPal Express API. But at least for a while I would have the old links still online on some sites.
The switch to PayPal Express seems to be per account. Will the old links and IPN continue to work ?
when you implement PayPal express checkout that will not hinder your PayPal links on whatever site you have them on. You can have PayPal Express Checkout with non-hosted button code on the site at the same time; no problem, at least while you're done with your testing, etc.
PayPal Express Checkout can be used across multiple sites; however APIs are only one per account. What this means is that if you want the funds to go to separate accounts for each site then you'll need a new PayPal account per site as you'll have to use different APIs with Express Checkout. That is the UserName/Password/Signature.
However you will have one IPN listener field for each account; so if you don't mind getting pinged for each site using the same IPN listener then you're fine.
You can just create specific prefix # for each site with the products themselves. Like store # 1 = 001Product# | Store # 2 002Product | etc. This will help differentiate IPN pings for each store and help you catalog it better. This is if you decide to use the same APIs for Express Checkout with the same IPN of the account. If so, you will have the PayPal button purchases along with the Express Checkout purchases you all the same data IPN wise and all funds will roll into the same account.
I hope I hit your mark on your question, but let me know if you need additional clarity as I'm happy to help. Have a good one.
Using ASP Classic
Paypal LIVE Express checkout
It shows the Payment Amount at the checkout, but the payment doesn't go through. The payment doesn't even leave customer's account. I have tried using my wife's paypal account to complete the checkout.
I am only using paypal checkout system and have added all the API information in expresscheckout.asp and paypalfunctions.asp
I have also tried adding these API options too, but still wouldnt work
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_n_NAMEm
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_n_NUMBERm
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_n_AMTm
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_n_QTYm
Any help would be great.... tks
I have the same problem as in this question. Paypal Express Checkout with ActiveMerchant as in Shopify
I want to implyment shopify like paypal payement. which consists on using third party account ( shopify paypal's account ) to do the checkout operations instead of merchants.
The merchant will give an email and the first time he gets a checkout from client, paypal will send him an email to set up an account. This method is good as it requires only an email account from the merchant.
The answer mention the world 'Accelerated boarding' which searching on google gives me nothing.
The question is outdated so I guess that paypal changed the name to another thing or it does not exist anymore.
Did any one now what was the destiny of 'Accelerated boarding' feature ?
Here's a link to the integration approach for Express Checkout:

I (now) have multiple websites using WordPress / WooCommerce. Unfortunately, I can specify only 1 auto-return url in PayPal.
How do I get around this so that I can use multiple WooCommerce set-ups with 1 PayPal account?
Thank-you!
What you're referring to is Payments Standard, the basic PayPal gateway that comes with WooCommerce. This is limited in the way WooCommerce has it integrated, so unfortunately, you won't be able to make it work without some customization.
Another option, though, is to install PayPal for WooCommerce and use that instead. You would setup the Express Checkout, which does not rely on the return URL set in your PayPal profile. Instead, it works dynamically with whatever URL the site is running on. There are also lots of other benefits to Express Checkout as well which you can see in the plugin details / videos.
The plugin is free and Express Checkout with PayPal is free as well.
I've made multiple Woocommerce websites work with a single PayPal business account using the receiver email option found under
Woocommerce>Checkout>PayPal
Make sure it is set to your main email for paypal.
I have also checked Enable PayPal standard.
Payment action should be set to capture.
If you are selling downloadable products, make sure you check "Grant access to downloadable products after payment" on the Products>Downloadable tab
I have a store running opencart which already has a fully functional shopping cart running, it is just requesting an API and authentication details.
So, how can I simply setup a API and be done with it, do i need to setup a sandbox account etc.
I just want a very simple setup for accepting payments via paypal and credit cards in NZ
Ive checked all the online guides and they are all for older layouts/designs of paypal.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks
The only thing You need to is to install and enable (both if not yet done) the PayPal standard (or Paypal Express checkout) payment options in OpenCart administration - as far as I understand Your problem clearly.
Go to administration Extensions -> Payments and here scroll to find the PayPal payment options (should be three by default: PayPal Standard, PayPal Website Payment Pro and PayPal Website Payment Pro UK) - PayPal Standard should be Your bet. If Install action is available on the right, click on it and afterwards click on Edit action. Insert Your account information, select Enabled status and Your are done.
Now users should be able to select this payment option and after confirming the order they should be redirected to PayPal to pay for their orders.
