When does pesapal pass feed-back to my listener function.Have a system that's already creating orders and paying via pespal and also capturing the transaction ID.However my listener does not seem to get feed-back from Pesapal.When does Pesapal send-feedback to the listener?Also if I simulate the Listener Function with the transactions ID's I am getting from my paid transactions the reply is always INVALID and not COMPLETED.Any help on this?

Hi Muriithi,

Pesapal passes feedback to your system immediately when the status of your payment is confirmed/changes. As for the IPN, have you correctly set the path to your IPN listener function on your Pesapal merchant dashboard?

Yes have confirmed the path is correct.Also if I simulate the listener function and have a test function that queries for the status of a transaction_id the reply is either INVALID even for the paid transactions.What Could be happening here?I am querying demo.pesapal.

Please have a look of how IPN has been implemented on this link. You can learn from it then let me know how it goes.

Hello.Was able to have this working.The only issue now is that the payment status returned is always PENDING even after completing payment .Am using a demo.pesapal to query for the payment status.Have done this severally for the transaction id and the status is always at PENDING.

Any Reply on why the status is always PENDING? Or what could be the maximum time the payment takes to be processed before Pespal IPN can give a COMPLETED feed-back to my listener...

Hello Muriithi,

demo.pesapal returns PENDING if you use a fake code. You need to use the dummy code generator given on the right side of the iframe to generate a recognized confirm code.

NB: You should not send real money on the demo system. If you do a real transaction, demo.pesapal will not recognize the code you use.

Use the link below to generate confirmation codes which you can use to complete payments on your demo account.

Hello.Had already done this and was using the confirmation code to complete payment whcih was then re-directing users to a success pay page.But the reply from Pesapal for any transaction id's are all PENDING even after payment completion.

Send me a link to your site please.

Hello,
Am testing this from the localhost.One of the transaction tracking code I have is 0cdcac29-7512-4c26-b589-a030630396fe, whose status on Query returns PENDING.

Hi Muriithi,

The IPN setting on your merchant account fetches a domain and as such it can not be able to access your localhost to update the payment as necessary. Upload your files to an online server and provide the path to your IPN listener and you will get your status updated.

Kind Regards.

Hi,

Please set up the system on a server we can access for us to test your application. I've done an end to end test on my local application and all went well.

I am experiencing the same problem. The receiving URL is www.thecardguys.co.ke/ipn.php
