View Full Version : Paypal IPN can u have 2?
turnkey 03-20-2004, 02:04 PM 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
websterworld 03-20-2004, 02:14 PM why not open another account? or am I missing something?
Paypal only allows one personal and one business

I would like to know also :)

turnkey 03-20-2004, 05:39 PM As far as I know to have a verifed Paypal account you need to alos connect it to a banking account, I have 2 accounts with them and dont care to open a 3rd

HUH? :(
amusive.com 03-20-2004, 07:31 PM 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.
Two-A-T 03-21-2004, 12:45 AM 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 :)
amusive.com 03-21-2004, 02:20 AM 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.
turnkey 03-21-2004, 12:28 PM 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. :)
gghosting 03-21-2004, 08:50 PM I think you can only have one IPN.

I use 4 different IPNs on the same account.
joekushner 03-22-2004, 02:38 PM add "¬ify_url=<IPN url here>" to the payment string, you can do this to have as many IPN's as you like for different shops
turnkey 03-23-2004, 08:14 PM Ohhhhhh :) I didn't that, I have to copie the string down.
But not sure what is working but it is working
thank guys

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
amusive.com 04-19-2004, 09:18 PM You don't have to list them in paypal. You just pass them into the form.
