Asp.net, paypal and IPN.. how to automate payment ?

Question

Hi guys, i'm trying to integrate Paypal in an asp.net app. It works fine, the last thing i would like to do is to automize payment notify.

In particular, how does it works IPN ? I would like to set a field to 1 when a user buy a service... How can i do with ipn ? I'm asking here to avoid to read all 120 pages of paypal IPN documentation... ;)

Thanks in advance...

Theres lots of examples out there on how to build a basic IPN listener. Once you build one and point your PayPal account at it, all transactions will have their details sent to this listener as a request. You will need to parse out the relevant data from this request to determine the success of the transaction and process the order. PayPal IPN PDF
