On my website I'm using a custom PayPal checkout form and one of the elements in the form is:
input name="notify_url" type="hidden" value="http://www.example.com/ipn.php"
On actual PayPal I have my real ipn link, but could I route this to another ipn?
For example, let's say under my PayPal settings my ipn is: http://www.example.com/ipn_1.php
Can I set this link to say: http://www.example.com/ipn_2.php and then receive payment notifications at ipn_2.php instead of ipn_1.php like it says in my merchant settings?
Yes, when you use notify_url that will override what you have in your PayPal profile so it would hit that IPN URL instead.

If I create a PayPal subscription button and set notify_url to my backend, I get the initial signup response, so that's great. What I am wondering is if Paypal will continue to send responses here based on that button for all future payments/cancels, or if it will only send IPNs to the global IPN handler as defined in my profile.
As far as I understand, you can define a IPN url in your account settings for all payments. But you can define an individual notification url for each payment via the notify_url field in the button.
Then, that url is used only for this transaction.
I'm using PayPal Website Payments Standard built in php. Whenever the user lands on PayPal with the variables I sent, it shows a PayPal Login form and at the bottom it shows "Don't have a PayPal account? Use your credit card or bank account (where available)." I want it to default to always ask for sign up and proceed
Add variable landing_page=billing in PHP code, then the default page is pay with credit card.
<input type="hidden" name="landing_page" value="billing">
Our shop can handle IPNs (Instant Payment Notification) for regular payments.
We offer donations over paypal too, but can't handle this IPNs, because we don't keep track of the donations on the shop side. And don't want to atm.
Is it possible to deactive IPN for e.g. donations or do we need to create a seperate paypal account for this?
Thanks for any advice.
Set a notify_url for your donation going to a different location than your regular IPN script.
As long as that location answers it with a HTTP 200 OK, it's fine for PayPal.
So essentially you'd have:
- Your store setting a proper notify_url for each transaction
OR
- An IPN URL set up on your PayPal Profile
AND
- A specific custom notify_url for donations. This can be a plain .html or .txt file.*
This would work because notify_url overrides whatever is set up on your PayPal Profile.
i think you can't desable paypal IPN for the specific payment
but, you can separate donation and other payment using different invoice-id
if if payment made by donation you can prefix any keyword on Invoide-id like donation-001
it is a simple and best method you can try..
Using PayPal IPN, can we implement delayed payment. Perfect example is Groupon where card is charged only when deal is tipped. Can someone throw light on implementation part using PayPal IPN and also how multiple cards can be charged at once when deal is tipped.
For Authorize And Capture:
To make a payment authorize you will have to pass "authorization" in paymentmethod parameter instead of "sale"
<input type="hidden" name="paymentaction" value="authorization" />
So, For this type of payment, paypal will not charge the sender immediately but will wait till receiver confirmation. To capture this payment two methods are available:
Receiver will either click on capture button in account
It can be done via a API - to capture the payment use DoCapture and void the payment use DoVoid
I used Paypal sandbox to test my code and my IPN is working.
Now, I need to go to my original Paypal account. My confusion is in sandbox, we make buyers' and sellers' accounts. And we get tit_789456613_biz#yahoo.com like seller account.
Is it needed in original account? If needed, how to make it?
If not needed, which email address should I use? Client's email or client's Paypal contact?
When you switch over from sandbox to real service you use your own real PayPal account as seller/business.
Example:
<input name="business" value="you#domain.com" type="hidden">
And you change the form action from https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
