The IPN may not be matching up with the entry so the entry isn't being updated.</p> <p>We can look into this if you would like us to, however it will require access to both your site and your PayPal account in order for us to debug this specific transaction. Let me know what you want to do, you can email me directly at <a href="mailto:carl@rocketgenius.com">carl@rocketgenius.com</a>. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/paypal-notifications-and-status-not-working-with-ipn#post-41210 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 18:56:49 +0000 kinohistoria 41210@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a similar problem with one transaction (the last one). </p> <p>All previous payments in PayPal triggered the user registration on our website and generated the notification email, etc., all fine. </p> <p>However, this last payment still appears as "Processing" on the form's entry list, and yet the IPN History shows that the IPN was sent. We got the payment confirmation email that PayPal generates, and the money has been credited to our account in PayPal.</p> <p>I went back to the IPN History and told PayPal to resend the IPN, which it did, but the Gravity Form (a member registration form) still shows in its entry list that this member's payment is still "Processing."</p> <p>As I said, we didn't have this problem before, so I can't see why it would be in our case this cURL issue that is discussed in the other case above.</p> <p>Could someone help?

Their curl_test.php did NOT use https though, so that's not a good test. Maybe they modified the file and have tried it both ways - it's just not present in this copy.</p> <p>It's possible the issue with IPN is NOT due to lack of SSL support in cURL, but that is a common problem. It's a good place to start.</p> <p>Have you been able to enable logging to see what's going on, if anything?</p> <p>I will bring this to Carl's attention so he can take a look at it again. </p>
