The Paypal IPN internet processor allows the e-shop owner to receive payments from paypal. Customers are redirected to the paypal web site, where they can pay for their orders. The e-shop is notified when the order is complete and reports the order as verified. The Instant Payment Notification system is the most effective for payment gateways as a protocol between the e-commerce store and gateway is deployed to verify the authenticity of a transaction. The information passed to the gateway can include detailed information of the products. This can be integrated by Asymmetrics as a separate service.
Merchants must have a paypal account before requesting this service. Testing using the paypal sandbox is included when necessary. Merchants must place a real order at the end of the integration to verify proper functionality of this e-commerce service. Different order status definitions can be used upon request for the transaction results. As an option, separate emails can be generated when the order is placed and when the order is verified. |
