Newbie's question on Paypal set up

Hi folks,

This is my first time installing and configuring ZenCart, apparently lots of things to learn from gurus like you.

First question: how do I set up my Paypal account? In admin, under Module, in Payment, there is Paypal option, on "PayPal Website Payments Standard - IPN" it says:

PayPal Website Payments Standard (IPN) (Basic PayPal service)
Manage your PayPal account.

Configuration Instructions:

  1. Sign up for your PayPal account - click here.

  2. In your PayPal account, under "Profile",


I already have a Paypal account, however when I sign in and go to Profile, I don't see an option of Instant Payment Notification Preferences URL?

What am I understanding wrong?

Thank you very much for your kind help.

Re: Newbie's question on Paypal set up

First DO NOT use the antiquated IPN std module

Instead use the PayPal Express module

ZenCart handles the "Payment Notification Preferences URL" so you do not have to set it
