Hi Rick thanks for your suggestion, the only place where i am facing the
problem is i am having my paypal working and i am not able to get the
notify_url option working for paypal_setup helper. I need a brief answer
so that i can continue. Thanks a lot in advance.
Note: I am not using active merchant nstead i use paypal plugin for all
these stuff. The payments are being happened in the paypal but thats
only updated in my database if at all the customer come back to my site
from paypal. Else the payment is done in paypal but still it is not
updating in my DB unless the users use the get back to XXX button after
payment.

I think you got my point . Any answer is sincerely appreciable

I’m not familiar with the paypal plugin. ActiveMerchant seems to be
the most common tool for this job, and it makes it fairly easy to set
up the right controllers to handle paypal ipn notifications (which
come in as http requests from the Paypal servers).

Hi Rick and all…

First of all Thank you and i am happy to say that my issue is
resolved. I was worrying just about why it is not working even after
every thing is in place. But then i came to know that IPN requires a
valid public URL to work. So as and when i went in to production mode
with my Code it started working. Once again thanks to all those
(especially rick) who looked over in to my posting and tried to help me
out with the solutions that you know.

Hi Chandoo,

Am trying to integrate Paypal with my application. Just wondering if you
could post a sample of your IPN action so I can see what what’s going on
as I’m struggling to get it working?

I’m also wondering how do I pass and receive other form inputs to Paypal
e.g. if on my paypal form I have a field asking for a URL?

Cheers
