eBay Items

Previous  Top  Next

When products are listed on eBay and have only the PayPal payment option set for the eBay listing, payment for the eBay item can be linked to AShop.

When the customer pays for the item using PayPal, the order is recorded in the AShop database, a receipt is emailed to the customer and an order notice is emailed to the AShop administrator. If the product is downloadable, a password and link to download the file is incuded in the customer's receipt. If key codes are set for the product, a key code will be included in the customer's receipt.

eBay > PayPal > AShop Setup

1.	Setup your PayPal account to send default IPN requests to your ashop/ebay.php script.

·

Login to your verified PayPal account administration panel at http://www.paypal.com.

·

Click "Profile".

·

Click "Instant Payment Notification Preferences".

·

Set IPN to On.

·

Set the IPN URL to the location of your ebay.php script.

·

For instance: http://www.yourdomain.com/ashop/ebay.php.

2.	Add the product to your eBay store and set the payment options to only PayPal.

3.	Enter the eBay Item Number in the product settings in Add Products or Edit Products.

The ebay.php works like order.php but uses the eBay Item Number instead of the productid to identify which product has been purchased.

Note: The affiliate tracking will not work for products sold on eBay.
