Payment Gateway Setup (Paypal)
Overview
Maian Pal uses Paypal as it's payment processing gateway via the Paypal IPN system. Paypal is a popular option for many e-commerce websites and offers fast
secure payments. Please read the instructions below carefully to set up Paypal for your store.
If you are using the Paypal IPN for something else and it is already activated, you can ignore this page. The IPN system will already be active for your store regardless of the
callback url you have currently set.
IPN Setup
This is how you set it up in Paypal:
1 Log into your Paypal business account.
2 From the menu select 'Account Settings'.
3 From the options select 'Products & Services > Website Payments > Instant Payment Notifications > Update'.
4 On the next screen, enter the following url as your IPN Notification Url and enable IPN:
https://www.example.com/control/callback.php
Where the path is the correct path to your OWN 'control/callback.php' file
Setup is Completed!

Enable Gateway Logging
Initially it's a good idea to enable the gateway log to make sure the callback is being received. Select 'Payment / Currency' from the left
menu in your admin area and on the 'Gateway' tab make sure 'Log Responses' is set to yes. All order processing will be logged in the 'logs' folder.
You should disable this when you go live.
