Does paypal sends an IPN notifications to your callback url on clearance of an echeck transaction ?
I was testing an echeck transaction in PayPal Sandbox. The app received echeck transaction notification with payment_status as "Pending". After manually clearing the transaction from PayPal account, the app didn't received any kind of notification.
I was expecting a second IPN notification with same txn_id and payment_status as "Completed" or "Cleared". Is it not so ?
I am getting notifications when echecks clear, at least in production (not sure about sandbox).
Source: my Website Payments Standard (with enhanced recurring payments) Paypal IPN recent transaction history and my application's log.
Here are a few fields from the original IPN notification and the cleared one, which in this case came about 5 days later. They both have the same transaction ID.
original, pending:
txn_type=subscr_payment
payment_date=[initial date]
pending_reason=echeck
payment_type=echeck
payment_status=Pending
cleared, completed:
txn_type=subscr_payment
payment_date=[initial date]
payment_type=echeck
echeck_time_processed=[process date]
payment_status=Completed

On our website we have option to pay using PayPal. At the time of signup our sytem creates recurring profile in users PayPal account and then till the account continue we receive recurring Payments.
On every successful payment PayPal send us the notifications with transaction details and we updates our system.
Sometimes our system miss the IPN notifications due to outage and as a result our system goes out of sync and does not updates the payments.
I would like to know do we have any PayPal API which we can call to get the transaction details of missing IPN notifications?
How to handle these transactions which are not updated in our system and IPN we ave missed?
I have just set up PayPal IPN for my website.
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNSetup/
Unfortunately, someone bought my product before the IPN was set up correctly.
Is there a way to apply the IPN notification to a historic transaction from yesterday that did not originally send an IPN?
Login to your account at PayPal, find IPN History, find the transaction: you can resend it from there.
Of course if IPN wasn't enabled when they bought, there is nothing to resend.
I am currently working on a project using PayPal. When I made a transaction, the payment status in the IPN received was 'Pending' and reason was Payment review. I found out that it will take 24 hours for the review process. So I want know if I will get an IPN when the review process is over?
You should get an IPN notification when the transaction changes status. For example, PayPal sends you an IPN notifying you of a pending payment. PayPal later sends you a second IPN telling you that the payment has completed.
Because of security reasons you may get the first IPN with payment status pending But when the payment review is over You will get another IPN with payment status as completed.You can can transfer your stuffs then.The payment review will take maximum 24 hours.
We're using PayPal Payments Standard and IPN to process payment transactions and enable digital goods download after our IPN listener script recieves notification of a completed transaction.
We've done thorough testing on the PayPal sandbox and made sure our scripts handle different scenarios properly.
Just to be sure, before opening the sales to public, we've done some testing with the PayPal live interface - performed a few small sales using a previously verified PayPal account to pay for the goods.
Our IPN listener script has immediately received notifications, but the payment_status in both of them was 'pending' with pending_reason = 'paymentreview'. After logging to our seller PayPal account a few minutes after making the payment, both transactions have the status 'Completed' and are ready to ship, yet our IPN listener did not receive any further notification updating the status of the transactions.
By checking the IPN history on our seller PayPal account, we can see that only the initial messages for both payments have been sent (with status 'Pending').
The PayPal developer docs are explicit about not allowing the download or shipping goods before the transaction is succesfully completed, yet we do not receive an update via IPN even 48+ hours after the payments.
We did not experience any such problem during testing period on PayPal sandbox interface.
Is this an issue with the IPN interface, or there is something that can be configured through our PayPal account that will resolve this issue and make IPN behaviour consistant with PayPal developer docs?
I'm unsure as to what IPN messages I should be expecting when a recurring payment is setup through the Express Checkout API.
The period is three months with the first three months free.
When the customer signs up, I expect an IPN message with transaction type (txn_type) recurring_payment_profile_created.
After three months, I expect a message with txn_type = recurring_payment and a payment_status. As far as I can tell, I should not be receiving one of these until after the end of the trial period.
But what message will I receive when a customer cancels the recurring payment? The only likely candidate for txn_type I can see is subscr_cancel, but this is listed with other subscr_x types, and I understand that subscriptions are distinct from recurring payments.
Will I receive an IPN with txn_type = subscr_cancel when a customer cancels are recurring payment, or will I receive something else (and if so, what will I receive)?
You will receive an IPN for the profile creation when the user signs up. You will also receive an IPN for each recurring payment when they are processed. When the profile is cancelled, you will receive another IPN for this. You will get an IPN with txn_type=recurring_payment_profile_cancel.
