Important:  Paypal IPN URL

The IPN URL allows PayPal to confirm a payment with the dashboard. Normally, the IPN URL is sent automatically to PayPal, during checkout. However, if your payments are not showing up in the dashboard, you may need to manually add the IPN URL, directly inside your PayPal Account.

Below are instructions on how to add this url inside your Paypal dashboard.

  • Copy the IPN URL from inside your Grow CRM dashboard (as shown in the image above)
  • Log in to your Paypal account as usual.
  • Paste the URL shown below, in your browser window, and click enter.
    • https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-ipn-notify
  • You will see a screen similar to the one shown below.
  • Click on Choose IPN Settings
  • Add the IPN URL that you copied from the dashboard
  • Select Receive IPN messages (Enabled)
  • Click Save

Sandbox Mode

Sandbox is a testing mode. This is a feature provided by Paypal, which allows you to carry out test transactions. For more information on Paypal Sandbox mode, click here.

Note, this is just an additional feature, which is not required for you to start processing payments. Ensure that this button is not selected if you want to process real payments.
