• Set up your IPN notification callback URL on the PayPal website

What is IPN?

IPN stands for Instant Payment Notification from the PayPal’s message service which sends a notification
when a transaction is affected. (Typically when a product has been sold by your website, refund for the
transaction has been initiated or transaction changed its state from pending to confirmed.)

Do I have to configure products?

No, you do not have to define products. In that case however you cannot configure a product specific follow up email
and have to use a different mechanism for proper landing page with a download link with the product the customer
purchased via PayPal. Consider a case where you have two ebooks and have only one confirmation email.

Can I process several products sold in one transaction via IPN?

Plugin currently does not support IPN requests with more than one product sold per transaction.
Only the first product in the basket will be processed by this version.

Can I have several products with the same name?

If you want to let the customer opt-in to product specific customer newsletters the product names need to be unique per product.
While you can probably setup two paypal buy buttons to sell a “CD” one at $19 and another one to sell a “CD” at $9,
the current version of this plugin requires a product name which is unique (for instance CD19 and CD9) unless you want all customers
to subscribe to a “CD” purchasing customers newsletter.
