To integrate with PayPal using IPN callback, turn on the PayPal IPN handling plugin in Post Affiliate Pro (Network) and follow the integration steps. This will enable PayPal to notify the sale tracking script about new transactions and generate commissions for affiliates. Remember to set the Notification URL in your PayPal account to point to the PayPal Ipn Handling plugin of Post Affiliate Pro.
