I followed the instructions on this page: http://webdna.us/page.dna?numero=302 I ran the IPN simulator test on Paypal Developer and it worked. I assume I need to add some code to the IPN notification page on my server to interact with the database to mark the team as paid. Does the IPN variable string pass all variables through?

Have a look at these:

Thanks Mike, I'd be r= eally interested in what this notified page looks
like in WebDNA = since the only documentation I'm seeing is for PHP, ASP and
other= s.
Eddie,
<= span class=3D"Apple-tab-span" style=3D"white-space:pre"> You're almost th= ere. The next step is to enable IPN on your PayPal
acc= ount (it's a setting in your PayPal acct. panel). IPN allows you = to
create a page on your site that PayPal will "notify" when the = payment has
been processed. This notification contains= the original payment's
invoice identifier, so if you have an inv= oice number that also identifies
the customer via a lookup, you'r= e golden. I have a pile of code I can
give you that w= orks well with IPN if you need more help.

Thanks for the f= eedback everyone. Considering we only accept payments
for
several months a year, I guess it doesn't make a lot of sense to leave Paypal, but I need to figure out a better process.
The way I have it now:
A team fills out a form and I writ= e all of their info to a db and send
them to a payment page that = figures out how much they owe + has a link
to
make the= payment on Paypal. They are sent to Paypal with a variable that
= gets passed through the process. Once the payment is made people are
asked to click on a button to return to my site, which also p= asses the
variable
back and lets me know the transacti= on is completed. Many people skip
this
step so I'm stu= ck trying to compare my Paypal payments to teams in my
database.<= /div>
I'm interested in Terry's statement: (they do a silen= t return just like
authorize.net). I'm about to Google it, but if= you have details I'd love
to hear about it. It may solve some is= sues for me.
Eddie
I concur with Stuart, but I'm going to also chec= k out this site. I'll
definitely read the fine print on it. But r= eally, for a one-off,
yeah, just stick with PayPal. I know what y= ou mean about people
bailing, but at least you know when it happe= ns, and can write code to
only complete the transaction when PayP= al gives you the high sign
(they do a silent return just like aut= horize.net). It's very easy to
implement a paypal form and a page= to receive their confirmation.
I use this on Whoscom= ing.com and if someone bails, their record is
intact, but it show= s as payment pending. Collect payment at the door.
I = just finished my annual business overview and now more than ever
= before, it's time to scrap my merchant account/authorize.net. I have
a Square account for random sales in person, PayPal for eBay and Etsy (who now also runs cards under their own name), and a host of old
fashioned clients who pay by check. The misc charges imposed by my=
processor just don't make sense for the small volume of cards I = run.
Plus small people like me get slapped with a monthly complia= nce fee
now. There are many, many more choices available now than= when I got
into this nearly 20 yrs ago.
T= erry
I= f I was setting up payment processing on a site now, I would look
It looks dead simple to implement= (though I haven't done it).

After many yea= rs of many different payment gateways and all the
fuss that goes = on in the administrative area of merchant account,
fees etc, set = up etc, for a one-off event that you are talking
about I would st= ick with the PayPal.
Going through a payment gateway = you will need a bank account with a
merchant facility, here in Au= stralia that can cost $35 a month, the
list goes on.
