That would be a no. All you need is the site URL. If you look in the template, the gateway is in a hidden field.

<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/payment_gateway.php?method=paypal" />

So you're saying that you know that Paypal will take the start of a URL that you enter at the site, then take the /payment_gateway.php?method=paypal part off what you specify in the request (it starts with {vb:raw vboptions.bburl}, which is your forum url, so that would have to be stripped off)? OK, I must have missed that when I read the docs. What I did read is that if you specify a notify_url, it will be called regardless of the settings in your paypal profile, but I might have misunderstood.

No. Look in the template, subscription_payment_paypal. All that info is passed along to PayPal when you submit to them.

Sometimes though you need to enter your site URL to receive the Instant Payment Notification. Why, I don't know. Some sites have to set it up, some sites don't.

I went through all this crap when setting up vBDonate when I was at DBTech. So line I had said, if you are not getting the expected results when someone pays, you start there. Then you check out, your server's access logs and see if it is actually trying to access your site, should look something like this, 123.0.21.3 - - [28/Aug/2012:21:29:57 +0100] "POST /payment_gateway.php HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "-", and then check your sites error log and see if you see something like this, [Tue Aug 28 21:29:57 2012] [error] [client 123.0.21.3] client denied by server configuration:

While doing vBDonate, to make it even easier to track issues, the SandBox ability was added to the mod, in order to put the system into test mode, so you could do full transactions in a testing environment, to trace down the potential issues.

Oh yeah, that's the same post word for word. Sorry I wasted everyone's time by posting a link to it.

It's cool Kevin, the more eyes on everything, the better.

Are you using CloudFlare Free SSL, or do you actually have a Paid SSL Certificate? I pay yearly for a Comodo Wildcard SSL certificate, and my vB forum works perfectly fine with cloudflare and SSL.

Also to elaborate on Ozzy's post. When putting in your paypal email address use the "PRIMARY" payment email address on your account. If you have more than one email account on your paypal and you put an address that is not the primary address you do sometimes get problems in vBulletin.

here you said NO it's only the website url that should be written , but in your first reply you told me to write in IPN the same thing @kh99 said.
6) And if you are specifying the IPN URL in your paypal account then make sure that is correct. If this is your forum:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/
Then the IPN URL should be:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/payme...?method=paypal

Also all the mentioned things are already made and didn't change anything , the only thing that I didn't get is this one, would you explain it more:
4) Make sure your forum directory is not behind a htaccess login because that will prevent paypal from accessing the callback URL.
