Title: IPN PROBLEM Last modified: March 26, 2021 --- # IPN PROBLEM * Resolved [fishing0d](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fishing0d/) * (@fishing0d) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipn-problem-2/) * Hi everyone, * I have a strange problem with my store orders. I used IPN() for Paypal transactions. When the system had a notification about payment status it was changing order status. Right now I don’t know where’s a problem because it works randomly. * I checked settings on Paypal and WooComerce, they are set properly and I didn’t change anything from the beginning. Was any update on Paypal that can cause the problem? * Can somebody help me and tell me what should I do?

Is my understanding correct? * If yes, for such orders, can you confirm that payments are being received without issue in your PayPal account? * Can you also check the order notes on the right side? Are there any notes there about PayPal IPN? * Finally for now, under **WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > PayPal Checkout**, can you see if logging is enabled? If not, please enable it. Once enabled, you’ll then want to check **WooCommerce > System Status > Logs** for any PayPal logs that match the dates on the problem orders. Please share what you find with us here. * We look forward to hearing more from you! * Thread Starter [fishing0d](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fishing0d/) * (@fishing0d) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipn-problem-2/#post-14248001) * Hi [@dcka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcka/), thanks for your response. * Your understanding is correct. * The problem is repeating by every second transaction, I checked logs and I got this: * 2021-03-12T16:43:24+00:00 INFO Generating payment form for order 5537.

I checked them with orders. I checked notes they were fine, but I think my employees could change the status manually. I don’t know how it looks can you give me an example of ipn note? I had `Order status changed from xxx to xxx`. There was no signature of IPN. * Best Regards, fishingr0d * Plugin Support [Sol J. a11n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solstudioim/) * (@solstudioim) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipn-problem-2/#post-14257291) * Hi there [@fishing0d](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fishing0d/) * Thanks for sharing the answer in regards to the previous questions * The log doesn’t say anything related to IPN issue, indeed. * The other thing that I’d like to check is **Receiving email** in the IPN setup on WooCommerce settings section. * Sometimes if you change primary email in PayPal but not accordingly update your receiving email in the PayPal setting on WooCommerce, there tends to be an issue with the IPN. * Can you please navigate here: **WP Admin > WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > PayPal**? * And then check if the `Receiver email` under `IPN Email Notifications` is the same as your PayPal primary email address. * Also, make sure the option `Enable IPN email notifications` is checked. * Please let us know how it goes if you could make a test order and the IPN works. * Thread Starter [fishing0d](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fishing0d/) * (@fishing0d) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipn-problem-2/#post-14262849) * Hi [@solstudioim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solstudioim/), I checked settings but there’s nothing wrong.
