Just a question to make sure I understand this correctly:
When I create my buy now button and I pass all the form fields to PayPal - once the user has finished their transaction as long as I've set up the notify_url to post to, say, the ipn.php file, the user will be redirected to a page on the site defined in the return field, yes?
In other words:
notify_url - Posts transaction information to the specified file.
return - Redirects the user to a defined page.
I know this should be simple enough, I've read the documentation and I've been at this for two weeks. I mean, I've been trying to find the proper solution for about two weeks and I think the IPN option may be it.
I believe, at this point, I'm just over thinking it but I've heard that these fields cancel one another out. Is this true? If so, how do I rectify it?
Please, please, don't send me back to the documentation. I'm so confused by it right now.
