I'm trying to set a callback URL to send the order data to a specific URL if payment is paid and etc..but I must that it will come same as it sent from PayPal IPN
The standard WooCommerce module already uses IPN for processing, and only one IPN can be sent -- so replacing or overriding that IPN would not be a good idea. There is a newer/better WooCommerce plugin for PayPal available, which is not so dependent on IPN, so maybe switch to that: https://woocommerce.com/woocommerce-and-paypal/
And separately from IPN, you can subscribe to Webhook events for PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED and etc.
Webhooks are documented here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/webhooks/

I want to build a custom PayPal checkout for a single product (subscription plan).
On successful purchase I need to save the current date +30 days to the user profile as well as upgrade the user role to "premium". This part is no problem but I'm having trouble finding how and what I need to use from PayPal.
Could someone point me in the right direction? Is the PayPal IPN service still a thing, or is it legacy?
I checked out some PayPal WordPress plugins but they offer too much esp. an own member solution or integration with WooCommerce, which I don't need. I only need a plugin that handles the checkout and gives me the chance to hook some custom actions on some events for example the successful purchase.
There's no reason to use something old like PayPal IPN. Use the current Subscriptions API, and webhooks for event notifications.
Subscriptions are documented here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/subscriptions/integrate/
And to subscribe to webhooks for later event notification, see webhook event names for subscriptions.
The Webhook documentation mentions using REST SDKs. Those SDKs are deprecated, use HTTPS API calls.
Using latest WooCommerce and WooCommerce Subscriptions and WooCommerce Membership plugins!
By default WooCommerce Subscription plugin sends emails about subscription cancellation, expiration and suspention just to admin, what is really strange. I think that customer should be informed about these actions. Therefore question - has anybody hooked it that such emails are also sent to customers?
Had not find any usefull solution so far for this issue...
to achieve what I want - decided to use this plugin: https://automatewoo.com/.
A client of mine wants to change payment service provider in his WooCommerce store. He has a few hundred existing subscriptions that need to be transferred to this new PSP. Basically, everything is done in order to do this, except for the configuration in WooCommerce. WooCommerce needs to know to use the new payment plugin's code to renew subscriptions. I know of the existence of this integration method but that's not the issue. That integration allows you to add the required metadata to orders (like credit card tokens) in the WooCommerce UI. That has already been done. I changed the _payment_method post meta of a test subscription to my payment method identifier and I set _requires_manual_renewal identifier to false however, for some reason in the UI it still says Manual Renewal under payment method.
What things do I have to change in the database in order to change the payment method?
I need some help typing to figure out what im doing wrong.
My site is setup to manage orders using WooCommerce. the site is a public site, but my Perl Script needs to be implemented as im testing a few things out and displaying some messages. The public site is called 'publicwebsite.com'. But the other site im displaying all this information and proccess it is called 'mywebsite.com'
I have setup my API credentials and setup my IPN for paypal payment. To direct the IPN to my website i have gone into the 'My Selling Tools' on the sandbox side of Paypal, and set the IPN to http://mywebsite.com/test_pl.html
when i place and order, somehow the IPN is not being directed to the URL. I went to the IPN tabe again on the Paypal side, and clicked on history, and i see that the 'Notification URL' is still set to http://publicwebsite.com/WC_Gateway_Paypal, whereas it should have been http://mywebsite.com/test_pl.html.
I cannot seem to find the place where i can change the preferences such that Woocommerce pushes the information onto the site.
Please Help.
Thanks in advance
WooCommerce will set the IPN location of each transaction so that it can be notified when an item is paid for and continue its process.
Not knowing your data flow, I would suggest looking into woocommerce available hooks and hook into the IPN notification and then send the data (and user) to your perl script.
This way you satisfy WooCommerce's condition that it needs to know about payments, and you satisfy your need to have your perl script called so that it can do additional processing.
One possible solution is to update your IPN settings in your PayPal Account. If you have a standard PayPal account here are the instructions directly from PayPal Documentation:
Go to the PayPal website and log in to your account.
Click Profile at the top of the page.
Click My selling tools.
Click Update beside "Instant payment notifications" in the "Getting paid and managing risk" section.
Enter the notification URL and select "Receive IPN messages."
Click Save.
Just in case you need it below is the PayPal Instant Payment Notification Guide. It includes an IPN simulator.

I am using Paypal sandbox testing module in my Shopping cart site. I have test account in paypal sandbox. i am sending amount to paypal. After payment success when retun back to my web page I want to get transaction id and amount.Kindly help me.
You probably want to use Paypal IPN. You can get the Paypal transaction id, amount, and a slew of other information, using Paypal IPN. Basically, this is where Paypal will do an https post back to your site after a transaction, and send all of the info for the transaction. See https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNIntro/ for info.
You need to specify redirect url.You can have two urls one for success and other for failure.Thats how i implemented it in one of my project (Dont have it now with me for reference).
Take a look here or here.This link has an sample project.It may help.
