# IPN issue – feature request

 * I am very happy with this plugin, but I have a problem in that I would like to
   use the IPN feature, but my company has multiple web sites selling different 
   types of products/services, and PayPal does not allow for setting of multiple
   IPN listeners in its configuration settings.
 * In other words, if I set the IPN to the listener on one site, then it cannot 
   be used on any other sites sending payments to the same account.
 * However, PayPal does allow for a custom IPN listener to be set in the web form
   itself, through the use of a notify_url specification. See [https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNSetup/](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNSetup/)
   for a good explanation of how to code this.
 * This allows a particular program to specify its own “notify_url” which will override
   whatever is specified in the PayPal IPN listener settings.
 * As far as I can tell, the plugin is not currently coded to specify or send the
   notify_url — but it looks like it is probably an easy modification.
 * So I am asking that you look into the possibility of adding this feature — I 
   think if you simply set up the form to automatically send the plugin site’s listener
   URL along with other form data in all cases, it should work whether or not same
   listener URL is specified on the PayPal backend.

 * The plugin doesn’t dictate the listener URL. If you want to make use of the built
   in payment reports you need to use the URL given on the IPN page.
 * But if you want to use an alternate listener URL in your PayPal account settings
   then there is nothing stopping you doing this.

 * The point is that you could use the notify_url parameter to pass the site-specific
   response URL to PayPal, and then it wouldn’t matter whether or not the user had
   also set up that site URL on the PayPal site.
 * From what I can find, other e-commerce or payment programs do pass that parameter—
   I don’t know why you chose not to include it.
 * Anyway, I labeled my post a “feature request” — it’s just the type of thing you
   might want to do to encourage use of your plugin and also make the IPN process
   simpler for users.

 * I’ve now added this feature. You can set the listener URL on the form settings.
   I’ve got a few other things to finish testing but if you send me an email I will
   send you the update to test.
