Common Issues

Transactions are not being created in Blesta after a client makes a Paystack payment.

Make sure Paystack's IPN is enabled. If it's not enabled, you will need to set a URL.

  1. Log into your Paystack account
  2. Go to Settings then “API Keys & Webhooks"
  3. Enter the Webhook URL and hit “Save”

The Webhook URL will be something like https://yourdomain.com/blesta_directory/callback/gw/1/paystackwhere "1" is your company ID. If you do not have any addon companies, or don't know what that is, use "1".
