Overview of IPNs
IPNs notify you when an event occurs that affects a transaction. Typically, these events represent various kinds of payments but could also represent authorizations, Fraud Management Filter actions, refunds, disputes, chargebacks, the status of an eCheck payment, etc. More specifically, IPNs are commonly employed regarding:
-
Instant payments, including Express Checkout, Adaptive Payments, and direct credit card payments, and authorizations, which indicate a sale whose payment has not yet been collected
-
eCheck payments and associated status, such as pending, completed, or denied, and payments pending for other reasons, such as those being reviewed for potential fraud
