Paypal IPN redirect

Does th eIPN redirect take place invisibly. I am using the thank you to post to my database via php. Will the IPN relay also try to load the php page or does tis just happen on the paypal server ?

Hi,

I'm not completely sure if I understand your concern but let me clarify the payment process of PayPal:

JotForm --> PayPal checkout page --> JotForm Thank You page --> PayPal server on the back-end --> Payment validation --> JotForm IPN page

I hope this is helpful for you. 

Please contact us again if you need any further assistance. 

To be more precise, what you will try to do on the Thank You page will not be validated since the status of the payment is unclear at that stage. 

Regards

Sounds about right.
What is the format of the message sent formPaypal via the specified IPN URL.
I am just tryingot work out how I match up the form input that is sent to Mysql via the thank youand the PP reference which is sent later (to Mysql via php).

Hi again Barry,

The IPN is not relayed to the web interface and is only used as internal communication from JotForm to PayPal.

Thank you!

Hello Owen.
I have set a URL into the IPN redirect on the Paypal section of JotForm. It all works well but how can I test the forwarded message that comes from the Jotform listener and the Paypal IPN system.
I have tried using sandbox mode on Paypal but it does not allow login.
I want to avoid having to make real payments at this stage.
