it's possibly my misunderstanding of something, but I can't seem to get the Common Notification URL to work. I have a piece of code on the page to accept transaction data passed to it but it never seems to get triggered. Any suggestions?

Note that the Common Notification URL uses HTTP POST, where the data is sent rather like an HTML form submission (rather than HTTP GET, where the data is appended to the submission URL in a string like ?name=value&name2=value2&...etc....). By saying your URL is a page with some code in it (presumably PHP or suchlike), that makes me think you were expecting GET rather than POST.

for further information,



in version 1 of my handler page I had the following code in the page_load event of the asp page



Dim ppTX As String = Request.QueryString("txn_id")





I changed it to





Dim ppTX As String = Request.Form("txn_id").ToString()



all now seems to work fine.



this is an excellent product and great value for money.
