Turning on PayPal Instant Payment Notification

PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN) allows PayPal to send payment data to Selling Service.

Login to your PayPal account and click the 'Profile' link at the top of the Page then click on 'Profile and settings'. Then, click on 'My selling tools' and 'Update' on 'Web preferences'.

In the IPN page, click on the 'Choose IPN Setting' button.

Set the Notification URL to : https://your-website-url/api/v1.0/paypal/ipn

This is an example of a Notification Url : http://mysellingservice.azurewebsites.net/api/v1.0/paypal/ipn

Set the 'IPN messages' to : 'Receive IPN messages(Enabled)' and click the 'Save' button.

Creating a PayPal Identity Token

Login to your PayPal account and click the 'Profile' link at the top of the Page then click on 'Profile and settings'. Then, click on 'My selling tools' and 'Update' on 'Instant payment notification'.

In the 'Web Preferences' page, set the 'Auto Return' to On. Set the 'Return Url' to: http://your-website-url/Payments/PaymentConfirmation
