I have a paypal account with different emails on it, Right now the Instant Payment Notification (IPN) is connected to my membership site that I have.

I have set up a download and payment script that will allow clients to pay and download products right away after payment and I need to add a url to the payment system to allow this to happen,

But paypal seems to only allow one IPN

Any Advise?

thanks

You can pass in the IPN url with the form. It will override the setting in your control panel.

You do not need two accounts to have two different IPN addresses. When you send them over to pay at paypal, you can include a variable that overrides the URL in your control panel on where to post the IPN notification.

Another option is the Paypal IPN Multiplexer offered by Saeven Consulting (the same company that makes Whois.Cart billing software). It's only $7.50 and allows you to have multiple PayPal IPN returns with 2 options on how it is handled.

You can get more information and order here: http://saeven.net/sware/multiplex/

I'm supprised more people don't know that they offer this :)

I don't get why you'd use a 3rd party script (that you have to pay for) when you can do it free via PayPal directly.

Thanks Two_A_T you are the best, and I knew that there had to be some script like this out there, but you are right not to many people know that the Multiplexer is out there

thanks again thats what I needed. :)

add "&notify_url=<IPN url here>" to the payment string, you can do this to have as many IPN's as you like for different shops

How do you list the IPN URL's in paypal? Do you just seperate them by a comma?

Examples:

http://ipn_url_1.com,http://ipn_url_2.com,http://ipn_url_3.com

or

http://ipn_url_1.com, http://ipn_url_2.com, http://ipn_url_3.com

The difference of the 2 above is the space after the comma.

Thanks,
Jason

You don't have to list them in paypal. You just pass them into the form.
