Selecting PayPal as Your Gateway
From ppSD2:
- "Settings" > "Payment Gateways"
- Select "Gateway" as your gateway
- Under "PayPal Basic" input your PayPal account email, your desired "IPN" settings, and your "Secret Return"
- Secret Return: This must match the name of the file located in the "cc_gateways" folder. So if you change this to "myReturnFile", you must also rename the "89238491825.php" file to "myReturnFile.php" on your server.
- Loose Rules: If you do not wish to use the IPN, you can use "Loose Rules", which are more forgiving than the IPN.
PayPal: Basic Setup
From PayPal:
- Click on "My Account" > "Profile"
- Click on "Website payments preferences"
- Set "Auto-Return" to "Yes"
- Set your return URL to http://www.yoursite.com/ppSD2/cc_gateways/89238491825.php
- Important: If you have renamed the "89238491825.php", your return URL should reflect the new name of the file.
PayPal: IPN Setup

- Click on "My Account" > "Profile"
- Click on "Instant Payment Notification Preferences"
