node-paypal-ipn
NodeJS sample code to listen to Paypal IPN (Instant Payment Notification) and verify the message. Please refer to https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNIntro/ for more information on the API
How to install
npm install
How to run
sudo npm start
We use port 80 for this listener, so Sudo access is required to start service.
You are recommended to redirect port 80 to other port (3000) so that npm start does not need sudo access. Refer to: http://proghowto.com/iptables-redirect-port-80-to-port-8080
How to use the sample message
I prepared a sample (valid) Subscription message in tests directory
cd tests
mocha subscriptionMessage.js
It will send a valid Subscription message to your listener, and your listener will validate it against sandbox paypal.
