I want to integrate my project with Paypal and it requires a URL before enabling the IPN.
I know this URL for receiving notification posts from Paypal "if am not mistaken" but how do i get it? Do i have to implement a page in my website? if yes what is required from that page? Am really LOST here
Please any help would be appreciated
You need to create the IPN Listener on your website, since the IPN URL (Notify URL) is a URL you create on your website.
Make sure that you have an SSL Certificate and the URL Listener is in an https:// format. As of June 2016 all IPN URL Listeners must be in an SSL Format.
Here is the documentation on Instant Payment Notifications
Here is the documentation on Creating an IPN Listener
The documentation will be updated to state that as of June 2016 all listeners must be https://
Here is a link to IPN Sample Code
Here is the IPN Documentation on the updates being made in June

I'm currently working on the wordpress ecwid plugin. In order to develop my own payment method, I downloaded on github their payment gateway template that I'm now trying to install on my wordpress ecwid shop without success. Please, would you know how to proceed? Thank you for your attention.
It's Gunter from Ecwid team. I see you reached out to us via email too. We've addressed the email request. And we will post the answer here too, just in case.
If you want to integrate a custom payment to your Ecwid store, you should follow these steps:
Register a custom app. You can do that at this direct link: https://my.ecwid.com/#develop-apps
Provide us with the payment URL (your own server) to which Ecwid will send the payment requests. You can send us your URL to apps#ecwid.com email and we'll add it to your app.
After that, when your customers choose your own payment at checkout and click on the “Pay” button, Ecwid will send a POST request with the cart data to your server payment URL. And your customer will be also redirected to this URL. So, you can show any external page to them after redirection.
After redirection, your server needs to get cart details from the request, decrypt it and send it to the payment provider in a correct format for processing. After the payment is processed, your server needs to update the order status and redirect the customers back to the Ecwid storefront.
You can find more details about how the custom payment apps work here: https://api-docs.ecwid.com/docs/how-payment-method-works
I'm using PayPal hosted pages for payments on my site. I pass return url when creating SECURETOKEN used in iframe url. After client successful payment, I get browser postback from PayPal on return url passed when SECURETOKEN was created. What happens from time to time is that user close tab before I get postback, saying transaction is approved, and I can't mark it as approved in my local DB.
Workaround was to create IPN listener, and update my local records when I receive valid IPN request.
Now the issue is, I miss some params that I'm getting in iframe postback, that are mandatory, such as ACC, EXPTIME, PNREF.
As far as I can read, IPN will NEVER send those data in it's request. Can this be overridden within paypal manager? If not, can anyone suggest any solution to this problem?
Thanks
I managed to do this by enabling Silent POST url feature in my paypal manager, so same server to server postback will be fired regardless of client closing browser, after payment is accepted.
I changed my site to HTTPS but my PayPal now does not work.
It takes me to a page that with an invalid request error and a return to merchant button.
Is there something I need to change, using paypal rest
Thanks
You may file a ticket to the PayPal MTS guys here:

With detailed errors and maybe access logs, you will get an solution there
I have registered to paypal on live on https://www.paypal.com. Not verified for live.
I can login to https://developer.paypal.com with above login detail.
Here I go for sandbox accounts, I have created two account, one business and one personal.
(Sandbox account are verified)
I am trying for payment integration with Paypal with html form.
I have specified the notify_url, payment goes all right but no notification in notify_url.
I have double checked the notify_url, its working fine.
Anybody there, what seems to be wrong here?
Are you using buttons created and saved to a PayPal account? You may not be able to define a notify_url value through a hosted button. IPN may also be disabled in the account.
Log into the seller account receiving the payment, enable IPN, and set a URL for the post to be sent to. From the "Instant Payment Notification Preferences" section (where you enable IPN) you can view the IPN History which shows you the last 28 days of IPN posts sent for that account.
I've run into the same problem. A buy now hosted button was saved without errors, but a notify_url was not notified by paypal.
There is a work around, you can specify a notify_url in your profile globally.
paypal docs
For future reference: I just had the same problem. This caused it in my case:
I have been testing on the development server. This server was not accessible for IPs outside of our company (for security purposes). So the IPN-call from paypal never came trough to the IPN-script on the development server.
Took me one day to figure that out...
If you already done the test of the IPN via the simulator https://developer.paypal.com/developer/ipnSimulator/ and checked if it's OK?
Have you checked you set the "pixel" in your HTML form? If it's missing, the notify_url won't work. This solution worked for me.
For Sandbox, use : <img alt="" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/fr_FR/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
We have a website that have a Donate functionality
So we integrate with Paypal
After the user donates on PayPal , Paypal sends a request to our website that confirms the truncation
So how to check if the request is coming from Paypal , How to check for the certificate provided by Paypal or just check on the Request.Request.Uri
Because if i did not do this check any one can spoof and send a request with the parameters sent by PayPal confirming any fake transactions
You may like to refer to PayPal Payments Standard Integration Guide. On page 344 it talks about setting up certificates. Also refer to page 347 which specially talks about what you want. You can run a command and pass PPCertFile parameter which refers to PayPal public certificate
Only thing you can do is check for REFERER, but that could be empty as well. at the end of the day you can make your page secret, but whoever donates you, they can see your return url. I am sure Paypal sends you some sort of notification via email so you know its not a spoof. even if you try to read header of incoming request..they could be spoofed as well.
Get referrer URL - visitors coming from Paypal (HTTPS)
