Question

I have a website that allows my users to donate to charities via PayPal. I want to track the donations that a user makes, but I don't have direct access to the charities' PayPal accounts.

This is kind of a follow-up to this question, which provides a good explanation of IPN tracking, but I think it relates to tracking payments made to an account which I own.

Is it possible to send confirmation of a donation to a third party back to my website so that I can track it?

P.S. I really hope this isn't the wrong way to post a follow-up question, and that it doesn't count as a duplicate...

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you use notify_url / NotifyURL in your Payments Standard code or API requests you can override the PayPal account profile and have it send the IPN to whatever URL you specify in that parameter.
