    <p>My module needs to know when a success checkout has occurred. So, in accordance with what I have read in various places, I listen out for the events checkout_onepage_controller_success_action and checkout_multipage_controller_success_action. That's fine, when I pay with a dummy credit card on my dev site, one of the above events is fired. But I wondered what happens if I pay with PayPal, so I said up a PayPal dev sandbox to test it out. Examining the http traffic, I saw that a notify_url was sent to PayPal when the order was placed. That was promising - when the paypal/ipn action is called from PayPal, the PayPal module will, if a 'completed' status is received, fire the checkout _xxx_controller_success_action - right? Wrong.</p> <p>My module relies on knowing when an order is successfully placed, so I am looking for advice on the best way to tackle this issue please.</p> <p>I'll just add a little bit about my environment here in case it is relevant. I am running Magento 1.4.2.0 on my laptop. When using PayPal Standard, a notify_url is sent to PayPal which overrides any set up in the PayPal account. I am testing from my laptop, so the notify URL passed to PayPal is not accessible from the PayPal sandbox. So I changed the notify_url to point to an accessible JSP that just printed out the notification it received. I then give that parameter string to a little Java program I run on my machine which posts it to the original notify_url (.../index.php/paypal/ipn).</p> <p>Thank you.</p>
