I have setup two sandbox accounts with PayPal.

[email protected] as the main business account

[email protected] as the payee/client account

I have tested my IPN script through the sandbox IPN simulator, and it works.

Now I am trying to test a subscription button where [email protected] signs up for a 1 week free trial subscription to [email protected]

I have turned on IPN notifications in the [email protected] sandbox account and have created and saved a custom button with the notify_url=http://example.com/ipn.php value set in section 3 of the custom button creator.

And after creating a subscription with [email protected] and a payment to [email protected] ... the data is being shown in the sandbox account when I log in, but no IPN notifications are being sent to my http://example.com/ipn.php as I had specified. And there is no ipn history being shown on the sandbox paypal account history, either.

Has anybody encountered a similar experience? I am not receiving anything from PayPal after sending the test payments via sandbox.

What gives?

With subscriptions you're going to need to configure IPN in the PayPal account profile. It won't use the notify_url value for all of the payments on a profile. It will only use the URL (if any) configured in the profile.
