Another minor CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor release is introduced today. Meet CS-Cart 4.2.4 and Multi-Vendor 4.2.4!
In addition to improvements and fixes (see the changelog), this version includes PayPal IPN support and a new Realex payment method.
PayPal IPN
We have been working closely with our colleagues at PayPal to make your experience with PayPal in CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor 4.2.4 even better.
IPN, which stands for Instant Payment Notifications, is PayPal’s message service that sends notifications when a change in a transaction occurs. In 4.2.4, we use PayPal IPN to synchronize order status in your admin panel with the corresponding transaction status at PayPal.
For example, when a PayPal transaction is complete, your store will receive a message from PayPal IPN that will update the associated CS- order’s status. In the PayPal add-on settings, you can choose how PayPal statuses should correspond to the ones used in your store. Handy!
