You should only use this tutorial and have Paypal enabled if you’re really using DIRECT Paypal buttons on your website that were created at the Paypal website. If instead you are really using a cart/membership system with Paypal enabled as the payment option, please enable the cart/membership system in your cart integration wizard instead then follow the instructions provided for your specific cart/membership system.
For those using a direct Paypal button, you will need to update your buttons to use the IPN file provided with iDevAffiliate.
Note: PayPal buttons can look very different and there are many options available. These are basic buttons with no options. Be sure to refer to the PayPal Manual for more information on options and different variable settings.
