(Typically when a product has been sold by your website, refund for the transaction has been initiated or transaction changed its state from pending to confirmed.) For more information visit https://www.paypal.com/ipn **Do I have to configure products?** No, you do not have to define products. In that case however you cannot configure a product specific follow up email and have to use a different mechanism for proper landing page with a download link with the product the customer purchased via PayPal. Consider a case where you have two ebooks and have only one confirmation email. **Can I process several products sold in one transaction via IPN?** Plugin currently does not support IPN requests with more than one product sold per transaction. Only the first product in the basket will be processed by this version. **Can I have several products with the same name?** If you want to let the customer opt-in to product specific customer newsletters the product names need to be unique per product. While you can probably setup two paypal buy buttons to sell a "CD" one at $19 and another one to sell a "CD" at $9, the current version of this plugin requires a product name which is unique (for instance CD19 and CD9) unless you want all customers to subscribe to a "CD" purchasing customers newsletter. **Can anyone help me with setting up the Enroll via IPN plugin?** http://evi.brickmiracles.com/tutorial contains additional useful setup information.
