Common Issues
Transactions are not being created in Blesta after a client makes a PayPal payment.
Make sure PayPal's IPN is enabled. If it's not enabled, you will need to set a URL.
- Log into your PayPal account
- Go to Profile then “My Selling Tools”
- Look for an option labelled “Instant Payment Notification”. Click on the update button for that option.
- Click “Choose IPN Settings”
- Enter the IPN URL and hit “Save”
The IPN URL will be something like https://yourdomain.com/blesta_directory/callback/gw/1/paypal_payments_standard where "1" is your company ID. If you do not have any addon companies, or don't know what that is, use "1".
