Integrating an IPN system needs three main parts:
- Webpage that should be able to call Paypal to accrue the payment.
- PHP page on the webserver on which the Paypal can notify the payment.
- The subsequent page which is called when the aforementioned steps have been achieved.
Thus, the entire mechanism of IPN involves four steps:
- Customer makes the payment through the website.
- Paypal acknowledges through the IPN at the IPN webpage about the receipt of payment.
- The IPN webpage matches the IPN and when matched, it sends an acknowledgment back to the Paypal.
- Customer continues to surf the website and is led to the further step.
There is a prime concern regarding the security in online purchase. So, you should take proper care in ensuring the robust security. It can be done in the following way.
- Encryption of the button on Paypal Site.
- Self Encyption of the button.
- Checking the values in IPN processing.
