How to get get the PayPal IPN

-- Joomla version -- : 2.5

I need to know from where I can get the PayPal IPN when a payment is completed. Is there any special settings that needed to be done for getting the PayPal IPN or is it generated with all the successfull orders?

Hi,

By default, the IPN is sent automatically. There are actually two options which can remove it in the settings screen of the PayPal payment method.
If you turn on the enable validation mode, the IPN will still be sent but you'll first need to validate each payment on your PayPal account. So you might think that the IPNs are not sent after the payments when in fact the issue is that the payments are not validated automatically on PayPal's end.
If you turn off the allow automatic notifications from PayPal option, HikaShop will ignore the IPNs received from PayPal.
If both options are configured properly and you don't get the IPNs, it means that something else on your website/web server is blocking the IPNs from reaching HikaShop and I would encourage you to follow this FAQ:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/i...or.html#notification

Thanks for your support.

Hello,

Attached are the PayPal settings which seems to be configured as expected. Where I'll get the PayPal IPN? Does it get stored somewhere in the database?

Hi,

Did you follow the instructions in the link I gave you ?
It says that you can activate the debug option of the payment plugin and you'll then get the IPN debug data stored in the payment log file that you can see in the HikaShop configuration.
