Question Paypal Standard Payments & IPN

Hi all,

I'm soon to launch my new Boss Cart JV store. Whilst finalising everything, I realised that my tests to accept Paypal (using the Paypal Sandbox environment) have been successful in accepting credit card payments from non-Paypal users (Paypal Payments Standard). It works quite well

BUT, I realised in my Paypal settings that IPN (Instant Payment Notification) was disabled. From what I understand, IPN is a Palpal secrurity feature. It tries to prevent fake payment amounts by naughty little people who would attempt to change Cart button submit amounts etc. which are not encrypted.

So, I enabled IPN in my Paypal environment. BUT, then it asks me to enter my URL for the server to receive the IPN notifications. I'm not sure what this should be set to? Anyone any ideas?

Cheers, Jon.
