I am not having any luck in connecting to PayPal. My IPN is used up with my membership service and following the tutorial to use multiple didn’t work.

I know IPN is not supported by PayPal and they are moving over to webhooks but all documentation still leads back to the IPN.

Hi @sallyoz 

Have you tried using the current PayPal Zap app that has these triggers: https://zapier.com/apps/paypal/integrations#triggers-and-actions

 

 

An alternative would be to use Stripe: https://zapier.com/apps/stripe/integrations#triggers-and-actions

I’m not sure what you mean? That is the exact method that has the IPN configuration that I am trying to avoid? What am I missing here?

And how do you use a Stripe integration for PayPal?

Sorry, maybe obvious but I’m a bit confused by this reply.

Ok, try this Zap trigger: Webhook - Catch Hook

This will generate a unique webhook URL for you to configure in PayPal.

 

PayPal API guide for configuring webhook event subscriptions.

NOTE: Requires knowledge of APIs and webhooks to configure.
