When a customer makes a payment to you, PayPal will post a notification to your server at a URL you specify. Included in this notification will be all of your customer's payment information (e.g. customer name, amount) as well as a piece of encrypted code. When your server receives a notification, it will then post the information, including the encrypted code, back to a secure PayPal URL. PayPal will authenticate the transaction by checking the encrypted string. This post-back of the IPN data to PayPal prevents "spoofing," so you can be sure that the IPN came from PayPal. Upon verification, PayPal will send confirmation of its validity back to your server.

== PayPal Sandbox ==
 
The paypal sandbox allows all operations done within the paypal site to be performed within a test environment. To test paypal code working in other sites and applications. It's useful to have a wildcard email domain so you can use any number of email addresses for different accounts etc. First, sign up as a developer at https://developer.paypal.com with one "master" email address.
 
 
 
Next set up a test account at https://www.sandbox.paypal.com (the session will be logged in as the master account, and the test account gets created under that). You need to confirm the email address to make the test account verified, but note that the confirmation email must be checked from within the paypal developer site, it is not sent directly to the email address. Next add and confirm a bank account and a credit card for the test account (the site will supply the account numbers for these).
