Hi,
Can we assume that the payment is completed for a transaction when the customer is auto returned to our site?
Paypal advices us to use their IPN system for other types of payment, like an e-check, but also tells us to tell the customer something along the lines of "Thank you for your payment. Your transaction has been completed, and a receipt for your purchase has been emailed to you. You may log into your account at www.paypal.com/ca to view details of this transaction."
What are the downfalls of not using IPN, and just assuming the payment is completed when paypal auto-returns users to our site?
Thanks!
