$zco_notifier and Paypal

[fotofx]

I am trying to create a process to run after checkout success. The following code works fine for all payment methods EXCEPT Paypal IPN.

class Dropship extends base {

    function Dropship() {

        global $zco_notifier;

        $zco_notifier->attach($this, array('NOTIFY_CHECKOUT_PROCESS_AFTER_SEND_ORDER_EMAIL'));

    } 

Any thoughts on how to get it working with Paypal IPN?

Thanks

That will be difficult with PayPal IPN, but will work fine if you use Express Checkout instead.

Thanks Dr,

Can you give me an idea how they differ in observer behavior?

I am guessing it has something to do with the way the session is handled????

The IPN module doesn't listen to observers because it doesn't run in real time. Instead, it inserts the order after PayPal tells your server about the order after the customer has made payment. It does it in a completely different session, initiated by PayPal when *they* visit your site to post the order.
