Okay, I am the moron, sort of. When my client signed up for PayPal
originally, she set up a personal account. Back then, everything worked
fine. For some reason my client and PayPal recently communicated and she
changed to a business account, which I didn't know about. In doing so,
PayPal reset all her account settings, including IPN notification service
setup, which is important to us with a third party shopping cart. Our
payments were posting to PayPal, but nothing was coming back. Our system was
erroring out for non-processing and no variables returned. I thought it was
a variable definition problem. As soon as I got frustrated enough to start
looking at the basic parts - like IPN setup - I found our problem.

 

 

 

In my original post, I asked for a list of the variables returned by
PayPal's IPN service. Well, the tutorials in the Devloper's Center are from
2002, and they do still work. So if my stupidity can save someone some time
and headaches, then it was worth it. If your variables are coming back bad
or undefined, check your IPN setup. The variable definitions have not
changed on PayPal's end.

 

 

 

Thanks.

 

Nick
