Hello again,
just a quick question regarding setting up Paypal to work with Kartris. What notification url should I be using to set up IPN in Paypal, so that Kartris will receive notification of refunds etc?
Thanks,
Mike

On the Kartris side, in the paypal settings in the back end, you need to set up your account email address.
For dummy transactions use this for URL:
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr
For live ones, use:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr
Then, within the paypal account panel, make sure you have the 'instant payment notification' preference turned on in. Also set auto return on, and point it to this URL:
http://www.mysiteaddress.xyz/CheckoutComplete.aspx
Redirecting back to this page will run google analytics ecommerce tracking if that is setup on your store. This is client-side javascript so cannot be run by the callback itself (which displays to PP), so we try to run it as soon as the user returns from the payment gateway. Unfortunately PP makes this is less reliable by having a 5 second delay after payment before returning to the store. There is a chance some customers close out at this point so their orders aren't tracking by Google analytics. But there is no way around this sadly, until PP can allow you to configure zero delay.
