Possible to split Paypal IPN

3 replies
Is it possible to split paypals IPN between two websites?

I do not really want to have to register a new paypal account for the business I am launching, but it requires paypal IPN which is already taken.

Is there any way to provide 2 paypal IPN?

I am running amember and virtuemart.

    The main IPN you set up in your PayPal account serves as a "catch all" for all PayPal transactions. However, when you set up a paypal button, you can override this default IPN with the address of an IPN specific to that transaction. So you only need one account.

        You'll have to have someone add the IPN address to the button code that vm generates.

        EDIT:
        I realized the above was more than a little lacking in detail. What I meant to convey is that you'll have to have someone who is knowledgeable in PHP and the PayPal API dig through the VM code to find where the button is generated, add the code that sets the IPN address, then test it to make sure it works properly.
