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.

  1. Log into your PayPal account
  2. Go to Profile then “My Selling Tools”
  3. Look for an option labelled “Instant Payment Notification”. Click on the update button for that option.
  4. Click “Choose IPN Settings”
  5. 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".
