I know that you can select a URL for a piece of software that you have, for the paypal to redirect back to that URL.

Is it possible to have multiple URLs? For example, if you sell multiple products?

Thanks,

I looked into this a while ago but unfortunately I don't think it is... If you do find away I'd be interested!

Cheers

Is there a limit on how many accounts you are allowed to have?

Ahhh I remember now which client I tried this for. We were designing multiple ecommerce stores and so wanted to set the return URLs different - which according to PayPal isn't different. We rang them and were told we could set up as many accounts as we wanted as long as we used a different name, whether it meant putting a full stop in or spelling the name wrong.

Now I thought you were only allowed one account per person, so I double checked but the guy said 100% that this was OK. Their user agreement says You may only hold one Personal account and either one Premier or one Business account

So I'm not sure where you stand when you want more than 1 account... whether it is against their agreements or not...

Thanks

From what it sounds like, you require a download store type item which you could customise so that rather than going to a download file it would go to a url?

Hope that Helps

Yea, but the problem with it simply going to a URL is that if someone finds out that url, then they can get free access to your products. And if your products are worth over $1000, or any high amount, that could be a big loss, especially if they start reselling what you already have.

I think CubeCart could be your answer here matey!

You can sell digital and tangible products... last time I checked you could specify a URL to the digital product so they received it after payment...

Suggest you check it out :-)

The IPN should go to a script. You can send a reply to PayPal in response to the IPN to verify that the PN is from PayPal. You should only allow the download if you get the confirmation that it is PayPal sending the IPN.

You can also add other security measures like sending an encrypted field with the data that goes to PayPal. This can be a hash of parts of the order plus the date and time. Your IPN script then decrypts the hash to make sure the IPN is valid.
