IPN Notifications

  1. I have a question about IPN Notifications. We are a non profit. We just enabled IPN in our Paypal account so I can set up gravity forms on an event website. We use our Paypal account for MANY different things (events, donations, etc.). I'm only using Gravity forms with Paypal payment for ONE event we are holding. Now that I set up IPN with the event website URL as directed in Gravity Forms, will EVERY Paypal payment (specifically payments that DON'T come through this event website) kick back to this event website? I only need it for this event, obviously, not for anything that comes through Paypal.

    I'm a novice and unclear about how IPN works, but I want to make sure this isn't the case.

  2. The IPN piece happens behind the scenes and users won't be redirected there, it will all work as it did before. The only difference is your event site will be notified behind the scenes when the payment gets confirmed.
