Facility to automate this process is present in most online payment services and advance ecommerce shopping cart such as Boss Cart Premium makes interfacing automated payment processing, items in your shopping cart and your order processing works together seamlessly.

PayPal Instant Payment Notification

PayPal Instant Payment Notification is successfully integrated in Boss Cart Premium. Instant Payment Notification (IPN) is a message service that notifies of events related to PayPal transactions. In Boss Cart it helps in automating the order fulfillment and tracking customer.

The diagram shows requests and responses, which are the result of processing button clicks or API operations on PayPal. PayPal sends an IPN message when it sends a response to a request. The IPN message is not actually part of the response sent to website. Rather, the IPN message is sent to the your listener, which allows you to take actions that are not directly tied to the operation of website.
