Need Help With Raoid Action Profits Sandbox Problem (SOLVED)

by Steven Wagenheim
6 replies
Okay, here is what's going on in a nutshell.

I did my sandbox testing for RAP. The sales went through on both the
buyer and seller accounts with no problem but the IPN is not being
returned to RAP and thus no sale is credited.

I think I have found the problem but don't know how to fix it.

The IPN notification URL no longer exists. It's for when I used to use Ameber.
So I need to probably replace that. Problem is, I don't know what to replace
it with. I can't find anything in the RAP manual that tells what to put here.

Yes, I have a support ticket into Sid, but I've been driving the man crazy
with so many things these past 2 days that I'd like to spare him further
aggravation.

If anybody here uses RAP and knows what to put here, it would help.

Also, is this going to be a problem when I go live with the product? Right
now, using DLGuard, I have no problems with this but I honestly don't
know what I did for that software to get the IPNs to transmit properly nor
do I know how my live account is even setup. I guess I should check that.

** EDIT ** I checked my live account and I have it set up to NOT receive
IPN...so now I am totally confused.

Have I mentioned that I hate this technical stuff?

    If you don't have IPN's set up, then it can't send a message to
    the server about the payment. Your IPN address, just has to be
    a website URL that is live. Mine is actually, my blog ... Now, my
    blogs not going to do anything with that IPN request, but it allows
    RAP, to use it when it sets its IPN address, automatically when they
    go to buy.

    I had a JV once with Paul Chow, and Paul didn't have IPN on his
    account, so what ended up happening, was he'd get 2-3 sales, and think
    I was getting 1 sale, 1 sale, but actually nobody was getting there downloads
    and I was not getting split payments.

    As soon, as he added an IPN URL then things started to work again. My
    IPN was suspended by PayPal a couple months ago, because I deleted the
    folder, the callback was going to. I added a different domain, hit "resend"
    on the IPN, and all sales suddenly processed.

      Caleb, so I just have to have a live URL that actually works and that
      should solve the problem?

        Yeah, set it to your blog, and then click resend {on old IPN
        Notifications at PayPal}, if your
        doing it the way I'm thinking, immediately all the downloads
        should come into your e-mail {If the way you have the sandbox
        is making the transactions go through}...

        I had a ton of problems with RAP setting it up, but as soon
        as you get into it, it's a bit simpler.

    If you're still having trouble feel free to PM me the details and I'll take a look for you. I used RAP for well over a year so it'd shouldn't be hard to fix up.

      Thanks Caleb and Andy. Love this place. You guys are the greatest, especially
      for technically challenged people like myself.

      It's working fine now. RAP actually has an IPN php file in the Admin folder so
      I'm using that.

      We can put this puppy to bed.
