PayPal Europe - Payments Pro IPN Confusion!

[ukbaz]

We Migrated to a new server last week - at which point IPN notices failed to arrived. PayPal showed on IPN history sucessfully sent and 200 response code. No orders made in Prestahop back office! We have a PayPal payments Pro account and the module uses IPN for this option.

 

Temporarily I have switched to PayPal standard Payments and thsi is working. However i would like to return to IPN as this offers an iframe entry on site for cards, rather than going to PayPal initially.

 

On PayPal IPN is now showing as disabled. If I switch to Payments Pro again in the module will IPN notices restart again, or do I need to enter an IPN URL in PayPal IPN preferences?

 

Using Prestashop 1.6.4.1 and PayPal Europe module 3.10.10

 

Thanks

I have noticed in the past that if PayPal tries to contact your server and can't for any reason they stop trying for a while. It could just be that. I have found using standard Paypal for a few days then switch back and it will kick back in 

 

Of course, may not be the same issue

Thanks Ron - will give it a try. In your PayPal account IPN settings have you got it showing as 'disabled'? Otherwise it asks for an IPN url?

thanks Baz

Oh, a feeling of deja - vu

 

The module provides the IPN. We have not done anything in PayPal

you do not need to manually configure IPN in your paypal account, as haylau stated, the module instructs Paypal where to send the IPN, which overrides your account setting.

 

If you migrated servers, it likely means your DNS has changed (your domain likely uses a new name server and/or IP address).  So the IPN likely failed to process during a period of time where your DNS was being propogated.

 

I would assume it would revert to normal after 48 hours or so
