URL for Gateway Instant Payment Notifications


Valid for thePHPfactory Framework extensions: Raffle, Auction, Dutch, Reverse Auction built for Joomla 2.5 and up.



An IPN handler URL will contain mostly these parameters:


index.php?option='.APP_EXTENSION.'&task=orderprocessor.ipn&orderid='.$orderid.'&gateway='.$gw->name



[YOUR_SITE]/index.php?option=com_auctionfactory&task=orderprocessor.ipn&orderid=51&gateway=pay_paypal



PropertyDescription
APP_EXTENSIONComponent name*
$orderidID of the order currently being processed
$gw→nameName of the current payment gateway used, as seen in var $name



(*) Component Names:



Not to be confused with Extension Names, as in "Auction Factory".


Another method of obtaining this URL is with a code inspection tool via the internet browser. Simply inspecting the Pay button on the last page of the checkout, will give you a complete list of URLs used in the payment process.


For Micro Deal Factory, the url will be:


[YOUR_SITE]/index.php?option=com_microdealfactory&controller=payment&task=notify&gateway=paypal&lang=en
