Ecommerce Web Hosting FAQ by VSTORE.ca

You may have seen this on the Paypal Simple Module:

This module is not longer supported. Please use the PayPal IPN module instead. The PayPal IPN module will record you transaction even if the customer does not return to your store after making the purchase. This module will not and using it may cause you to receive order that will not be recorded in the store. If you are already using this module please switch to the PayPal IPN module as soon as possible.

We need everyone that is using the Paypal Simple Module to upgrade to Paypal IPN. It is very important that you do this because you may receive payment by Paypal but have no idea what your customer ordered. It will be a difficult and time consuming process trying to contact your customer to see what items they ordered. This may even make you and your business appear very unprofessional to the customer resulting in decreased sales. To install the Paypal IPN Module, please follow the step-by-step process below. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them. Thanks!
