OK, just had a friend purchase a Membership through PayPal so I could see how it works. After he bought a Membership, I had to go into my PayPal account and click on accept, then I had to go in amember and select completed under the Edit Payment/Subscription section before the username showed up in my forums (had to change him from pending to active). My question is, is there a way to automate that so I don't have to do those two steps everytime?
You need to have BUSINESS or PREMIUM PayPal account to handle it automatically. Once you get it, enable IPN in PayPal account. Then, if signup made via aMember, payment will be handled automatically.
Ahh, OK I enabled IPN in PayPal, what is the proper Instant Payment Notification (IPN) URL that I should use? I entered http://mysite/amember/signup.php and it didn't work so I must have it wrong?
Proper IPN URL is http://www.yoursite.com/amember/plugins/paypal/ipn.php or (for paypal recurring plugin) http://www.yoursite.com/amember/plugins/pa...aypal_r/ipn.php But it should work anyway. Review your aMember CP => Error Log
