You just need to be sure to enable IPN there, and there needs to be SOME URL there. We give you the actual URL there, but it will be ignored by every Gravity Forms transaction. That is because Gravity Forms will send the IPN URL with every transaction, and that will override the settings you have at PayPal.</p> <p>So, to use a different IPN URL, you need to change it in every query that is sent from Gravity Forms to PayPal. The way to do that is with the gform_paypal_query filter. <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_paypal_query" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_paypal_query</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-addon-can-it-be-used-across-multiple-sites#post-197679 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:51:50 +0000 John 197679@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Chris. I got myself confused though :)<br /> Your first sentence above sounds like I can change the IPN URL at Paypal without impacting GF but yet it still may not work?</p> <p>I forgot to add that the fundraising plugin is not using or integrated with GF at all. It's a stand alone plugin with a quick number input that jumps right over to paypal but wants IPN URL. <a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/fundraising/" rel="nofollow">http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/fundraising/</a></p> <p>Now that I told you that this is not using GF would I be safe changing Paypal IPN to this?<br /> .../wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wdf-ipn-return-paypal</p> <p>Thanks for the great support. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-addon-can-it-be-used-across-multiple-sites#post-197262 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 02:33:46 +0000 Chris Hajer 197262@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you change the IPN URL at PayPal, it will not have any effect on your transactions which are processed by Gravity Forms, and it will NOT send the IPN to your fundraising plugin URL. So, that will not work for you. </p> <p>You can use the gform_paypal_query filter to change the IPN URL for your transactions. <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_paypal_query" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_paypal_query</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-addon-can-it-be-used-across-multiple-sites#post-196963 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 20:16:20 +0000 John 196963@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> I have this same question and wonder what to do. So if GF doesn't look at the IPN in paypal we could have the IPN in paypal be a different url for another plugin?</p> <p>Our paypal ipn url is: .../?page=gf_paypal_ipn</p> <p>We use GF and paypal for registration forms but just purchased a fundraising plugin and it requests that the paypal ipn be set<br /> /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wdf-ipn-return-paypal</p> <p>Can we safely change our paypal ipn to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wdf-ipn-return-paypal and have GF paypal standard plugin still work?</p> <p>thanks, </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-addon-can-it-be-used-across-multiple-sites#post-75683 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 14:58:33 +0000 Chris Hajer 75683@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms sets the IPN return URL in the request to PayPal. Gravity Forms does not use the setting on the IPN settings page at PayPal. The only requirement is that you have enabled IPN and there is a valid URL in the field at PayPal.</p> <p>So, to answer your question, you can use the add-on across multiple sites. Gravity Forms sends the correct IPN URL in each request, from every site, and ignores what you have entered at PayPal. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-addon-can-it-be-used-across-multiple-sites#post-75670 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 11:56:27 +0000 deeve007 75670@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm trying to determine if gravity forms + paypal addon is suitable for a client's multiple sites.</p> <p>Looking through the documentation for the PayPal addon, at one stage you add a URL for PayPal to communicate via IPN or similar, something like "domain.com/?page=gf_paypal_ipn". Looking at this in paypal, it seems to only allow the one URL, hence suggesting that I can only set it up to work on the one subscription site. My client has a number of sites, all completely separate, but is using the one PayPal account for all of them (quite common I would have thought). So does this mean it's impossible to use across multiple sites using the same PayPal account, or is there another way to manage this?</p> <p>Thanks </p>
