    I'm having this same issue my test transactions are not updating the status of the payment in machform...do I have to put a ipn listener url back in paypal??? how does machform know to look this up? I asked cause when I worked with my own sites I used the IPN API with paypal and you had to provide them with a url of where this stuff was being processed or am I missing something please help as I have paid the upgrade for the sole purpose of using paypal option as it is advertised "easy-to-use". We are doing a fund-raiser for christmas really need our admins to easily see when payment goes through. thanks.

    Nope...cause I figure it out!!! :} ...(playful banter of course). Yunair please tell these folks to check the base URL in the their Settings > Misc. Settings > Advance Options and make sure the base url matches that of their machform installation on their site. I wasn't getting updated cause I moved my machform installation to another folder in my server and of coarse the base url in the db never got updated for some reason (not sure if it was supposed to do this automatically or not)...but once I changed that setting everything worked.

    When looking at the ipn history in the the seller test account sandbox it showed my old url path as ....

    When it should have been..

    I was getting a http 404 error because obviously the files were not longer in the /service/ folder at all. THANK ALL. And as always Machform is AWESOME....keep up the good work Yuniar. And be patient with us devs you know how we get when stuff don't work(cause we messed it up unknowingly.). :}

    **also like Yunair says you don't have to set the ipn url in the paypayl account it is done all in the background ..cheers mates!
