Configuring e-commerce using PayPal
There are several steps to set up e-commerce using PayPal:
- Create a free business account at PayPal;
- Enable Instant Payment Notification;
- Enable e-commerce by registering your PayPal business account email address.
Each step will be described in detail.
To get a PayPal business account, visit http://www.paypal.com and click the Signup option. Then choose to create a Business account.
Follow the instructions to get your account set up.
Once you have created your PayPal account, you can customize the site that your customers will see during the checkout process. To do this, click "Accept Payments" in the quick links widget.
Click on "PayPal Checkout".
Here you can configure the Payment setup and create an online invoice.
Enable Instant Payment Notification Courses
This step is very important - you must activate "Instant payment notification" so that PayPal sends a message to our site when your customers complete a purchase during checkout. This message allows our site to verify that the order is complete and provide access to the purchased courses to your customer.
To do this, go to Profile and click Account Settings.
Then go to "Notifications" and click "Update" on the line that says “Instant payment notifications”.
Then click "Choose IPN Settings".
Enter the notification URL https://www.matrixlms.com/IPN, check the "Receive IPN messages" option, and click Save. Note that it's "https", not "http". Here's what the IPN configuration settings should look like:
Please note that if you are using matrixlms.eu you have to enter the https://www.matrixlms.eu/IPN notification URL.
Please note that if you are using matrixlms.com.au you have to enter the https://www.matrixlms.com.au/IPN notification URL.
Now your PayPal account is fully configured and ready to accept orders from our platform.

Please note that the SCA Compliance in Europe, which requires a second form of authentication during credit card processing, is in effect since September 14, 2019. This affects businesses, consumers, and banks operating in Europe. Please DON'T migrate back to Stripe if you are affected because credit card payments will fail.
If you configured the e-commerce feature in the past using Stripe, you can choose to migrate to StripSCA by clicking the "Migrate to Stripe SCA" button. We strongly recommend migrating even if you don't operate in Europe, as banks all over the world (including the United States) are starting to implement and require 3D Secure Authentication.
