XF 2.2 Correct Paypal IPN Settings in 2.2x

[1966Mustang]

Hello,

Trying to figure out what paypal wants in order to 'sell' virtual products - upgrades... So, not really sure if it's me or paypal - I have my IPN in paypal set to fordsix.com/payment_callback.php




I keep getting... Update the status of your service or virtual product sale and the payments end up 'pending' and I have to go through and click stuff in PP.

I don't want to change too many things at once. Payments are 'working' insofar as my members get their upgrade. But, where is the documentation for setting this up start to finish? Like - Auto Return in PP...



Thanks!

The IPN URL is correct (although it's not actually used as XF sends the URL to PP).

I'm not familiar with the second screenshot - it's been many years since I set mine up.
Where is that?

There's some discussion of the issue here: https://www.paypal-community.com/t5...service-or-virtual-product-sale/td-p/1790094#

Is it a business/premium PP account?

Other than that, try asking on the PP forum.

Thanks for your confirmation on the IPN config. This is a business PP account.

The IPN URL is correct (although it's not actually used as XF sends the URL to PP).

does this mean i could put any gibberish in that IPN URL field that Paypal needs, and all should still work fine?
Paypal won't let me turn on IPN without putting something in that field.

when i try to put the "correct" URL in the paypal IP URL field: putting http://{mysite}.com/payment_callback.php?_xfProvider=paypal
it's generating server errors on my ACP as well as failed IPN deliveries logged at paypal.

The payments are going through... just don't understand how to configure these IPN fields to avoid errors
