Not getting entry to POST IPN to a 3rd Party Application

[adminwvgs]

I need to do some processing of membership payments made through the eStore. I turned on the IPN Post URL but cannot get an entry to that url when I make a payment using the PayPal Sandbox. The URL I used has been tested and it currently just writes the IPN post data to a database table for testing. Is there something else I must setup to get the POST IPN to a 3rd Party Application to work? This is difficult for you to reproduce because it has nothing to do with the front end of the site.

I could also do this using a hook that I found a few weeks ago, but I can’t find that hook now. I can only find:

add_action(‘eStore_paypal_recurring_payment_received’, ‘my_custom_payment_tweak’, 10, 2);

function my_custom_payment_tweak($ipn_data, $cart_items)

{

//Do something here

}

But this is not a recurring payment.

You only need to specify the URL where you want the IPN to be forwarded. It sends the IPN there. It is likely a firewall is blocking that post.

You can use the following action hook. It gets triggered after a payment is processed and added to the database:

eStore_product_database_updated_after_payment

Example code below:

add_action(‘eStore_product_database_updated_after_payment’, ‘my_custom_payment_tweak’, 10, 2);

function my_custom_payment_tweak($ipn_data, $cart_items)

{

//Do something here

}

I assume eStore is completely done when this hook is called. Is that correct? If so I assume no return needed from the call to the payment tweak function?

Is this hook:

add_action('eStore_paypal_payment_received', 'paypal_payment_received', 10, 2);

function my_custom_payment_tweak($ipn_data, $cart_items)

{

//Do something here

}

equivalent except the eStore product update may not be complete?

I put the recommended hook and function in my child theme functions.php file. The function is still not being called. This is a purchase of a membership renewal. Here is the simple addition:

add_action('eStore_product_database_updated_after_payment', 'after_payment_tweak', 10, 2);

function after_payment_tweak($ipn_data, $cart_items) {

$ipn = print_r($ipn_data, true);

$cart = print_r($cart_items, true);

$data = $ipn . "n" . $cart;

global $wpdb;

$table = $wpdb->prefix . 'test';

$row = [ 'data' => $data];

$res = $wpdb->insert( $table, $row );

}

Here is the relevant IPN log entry, so the payment was made:
