notifying a third party on demand printer that payment has been made

[winkerbean]

I have a site that has digital products and well a a hard copy printed book. The book is shipped from the printer when he receives an notification that the customer has paid me. Is there some where I place the notify link in eStore? Here is what they would like me to use:

<input type=”hidden” name=”notify_url” value=”http://bookdataonline.com/paypal/ipn.php&#8221; />

I am not sure where to put this when setting up my product in the eStore (on and by the way I am a newbie to WPeStore so be gentle and patient

WP eStore has a feature that allows you to send the payment notification (IPN) to a 3rd party URL or script. Simply use that feature and eStore will forward the IPN to this 3rd party script everytime a payment for a eStore product is completed.

Check the following:

WP eStore Settings -> 3rd Party Integration -> POST IPN to a 3rd Party Application

Outstanding – thank you for such a great product. That makes my day!

oops! Ready, fire, aim. Will using the 3rd Integration Post IPN occur for all purchases. Because the third party is only involved in the hard copy book can I ensure that they only get notified for the product they are shipping for me? I could not make that distinction looking at the WP eStore settings under 3rd Party Integration! Thanks for the additional help.

Yes, the notification is sent for all purchases. If you want to send it only for specific product’s then it will need to be custom coded unfortunately.

It would be nice for the future if you could indicate which products get third party and which don’t as an option. Thanks though.
