XF 2.1 Paypal is not working on my forum

[Virtuosityy]

Hello! I am working on a private forum and allow registered users to purchase an account upgrade. When they purchase with paypal nothing is generated in the logs and they do not get the upgrade. The payment goes through and I get the money, but nothing is showing through the site. Please help, anything is appreciated!

have you set callback url in your paypal account settings?
i had seen lot of threads of same kind and in most of the cases its issue with callback url.
Once you get the server response from paypal on set callback url, it logs it and processes the payment.

Yeah thats my issue, but how?

you can set the callbackurl at paypal setting.

if your forum is directly on your domain, callback url is

yourwebsite.com/payment_callback.php

if its under sub-directory, then it will be

yourwebsite.com/name of deirectory/payment_callback.php

You have xF installed in Sub-directory so use IPN URL as https://virtuosity.pro/community/payment_callback.php

Also make sure it is accessible in order to work if it gives 404 error then you will again have same issue. currently it is not accessible.

Looks like you have done everything correctly. How are you testing? The email you're using for PayPal are you sure it's working correctly?

Yes it is. You can verify by looking at the page source.

Well, going to click the purchase button on my site doesn't even pop anything up in logs while clicking purchase with coinbase commerce it pops up in the logs with their username.
