Paypal IPN

[doodlebug]

Paypal is sending me a message that the IPN is failing. Currently set to https://www.digitaldoodlebug.com/shop/modules/paypal/inp.php

Is there a different URL this should be? I tried turning it off since it uses API I thought it might not need it but then orders didn't show as paid/placed.

The URL for IPN you set does not exist on your store, it gets 404 error, I think that's why Paypal is not able to send the IPN data. and you got failed emails.

 

Usually you can set to any URL that does real exist, the payment module itself should override that one by parameter when process payment.

Otherwise, you need to point the URL where the IPN data will be processed. usually something like ,,,,,,/validation.php

the real path is depend on the module you are using.

Thank you, it's the default paypal mod and I was trying to find the URL through various searches. Going to try a regular URL now and see if that works.

Actually just checked the folders and found it was paypalusa, then there was a file called validation.php so I'm trying that.

You do not need to set the IPN with the PayPal module there are many post about this here on the forum, if you are getting the Order at PayPal but it is not registering in the BO the issue is something else.

In most cases when placing an order you are sent to PayPal you make the Payment and when re-directed back to the shop you land on order history instead of order confirmation and all items are still in the cart if this is the case see this post here for a fix if you are using standard payment or payflow.

if it is default Paypal module from  PrestaShop, then you do not need the IPN like @tdr170 said,

you can just disable the IPN at your Paypal account unless you want retrieve the IPN data and process by your own.

First as others have said, you do not need to manually configure the IPN URL in your Paypal account.  The module will handle that automatically for you.

 

As for the error, the URL you used was wrong.  it should be ipn.php... not inp.php...

 

NOT CORRECT

Simply log into your Paypal account and removing the IPN Notification URL

one more thing need to be pointed out, even you have specified correct IPN URL, https://www.digitaldoodlebug.com/shop/modules/paypal/ipn.php 

if your store is under maintenance mode, Paypal will not be able to send IPN to the URL, because it will be redirect to maintenance page.
