 Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 1:27 pm Post subject: PayPal not returning to notify_url |
 |
|
I am trying to get a new web site up and working using Paypal and IPN. Although I have modified IPN.Net quite a lot it all seems to be working in the PayPal Sandbox enviroment except PayPal calling back to the notify_url. here is a High level overview of where I am in the process.
1) Everything seems to work in development enviroment. Checkout page calls the PayPal Sandbox site and the PayPal site displays with all the correct information and the buyer is able to pay for the prodduct.
2) Using the Infralution IPN.NET Test tool on the development client box to call the notify_url with data passed in step one ( 1 ), all server files and database records are created as expected including serial number on demand.
2a) Using the PayPal Sandbox IPN Test tool to call the notify_url with all the same data also works as expected and generates all server files and database records correctly.
It seems that the only problem is when the Sandbox buyer ( shopper ) clicks the "Pay Now" button on the PayPal web site, Paypal just does not automatically call the notify_url with the data sent to it.
So can anyone tell me why all this works as expected, but the PayPal Sandbox website is failing to make the call back to the notify_url?
Thanks..
Steve

Have you configured your sandbox PayPal account as described in the IPN.NET help:
| Quote: | Next we need to configure our PayPal sandbox business account to post payment notifications to our IPN.NET Server URL. To do this log in to your PayPal Sandbox business account and click the Profile tab. Under Selling Preferences select the Instant Payment Notification Preferences. Click the Edit button then tick the checkbox and enter the URL where your IPN.NET server is installed (eg http://www.mycompany.com/sandbox/default.aspx). Any payments made to your business account should now result in the transaction details being posted to your IPN.NET Server.
We also need to set the language encoding options for our PayPal account. Select Language Encoding under the Profile tab. Click on the More Options button and select UTF-8 for the encoding to use for IPN posts and other downloadable data. If you fail to set this then purchases by customers with address details that include extended (non-ASCII) characters will not be validated properly by PayPal. |
You can also double check whether PayPal is making the post by checking the trace output as described in "Debugging the Deployed IPN.NET Server":
| Quote: | | Fortunately ASP.NET provides a trace mechanism that allows us to find out exactly what occurred at the server when we posted the data. Open a new Internet Explorer window and enter the ASP.NET Development Server URL followed by "trace.axd" (typically the address is http://localhost:1338/trace.axd). This should display a page containing a list of page requests posted and retrieved. There should be (at least) two entries. The GET entry corresponds to the initial display of the blank page in Internet Explorer. The PUT entry corresponds to our post from the IPN Test Tool. Click on the View Details link next to the PUT entry to display full details of the post. If you made a mistake with the name of your SMTP server then you would see a trace report similar to this. If you scroll down through the report you will quickly locate the source of the problem highlighted in red. Once you have the SMTP address configured correctly for your website you generally don't need to use the trace mechanism because IPN.NET will email you full details of any other problems that may occur. |

How long does it take for paypal to send money to bank? This question is for people who have done this before. How long did it take you to receive your money in the bank. Or how long did it take for it to show up in your bank?

This probably varies country to country and perhaps bank to bank. In Australia we find that a transfer from PayPal to bank is typically processed in 2 to 3 days.
