Clickbank IPN Changes

by nick88

It looks like clickbank is depreciating old versions of it's IPN. Probably going to break a lot of scripts out there at the moment as you'll need to be using version 6.

https://support.clickbank.com/entrie...cation-Service

For those of us who use it's IPN to be emailed upon an affiliate sale, making changes to current emailing script will need to be updated.

Has anyone gotten a jump start on working with the version 6 with PHP? Or got an idea on where to begin coding a new one.

    After talking with ClickBank support they said they are working on updating their IPN page.

    But in the meantime they gave me instructions on how their sha1 is calculated so I have a working script at the moment that I will share with those needing it.

    It's not the best written but it gets the job done! If anyone wants to improve it, feel free.

    Working PHP Code for ClickBank IPN v6 email notifications is attached to this post. (Forum kept timing out when trying to use the PHP tag.

      Hi Nick,
      I tried to use this script for a test transaction on my website for click bank ipn .But always getting
      "The test notification failed to send. Please ensure that you have specified a valid notification URL and have entered a secret key."
      Please let me know if there is any suggestion for getting a succesful test result for INSVersion 6.0.
      Thanks

        Clickbank changed the way v6 works yet again, now you have to do some decryption. They have a PHP example on the website now that should help get started. I've been holding off rewriting mine for v6 until they give a date on when the others will be deprecated as they keep changing the spec and I've rewritten the thing like 3 times already.
