Deposit Collection via PayPal

To receive notification of payments you must go to your profile in your PayPal account and then go to Instant Payment Notification (IPN) and change the Notification URL to http://www.beds24.com/api/paypal/paypal.php and set IPN messages to enabled. This allows payments to be notified to Beds24 and shown on the booking invoice and log.

Once the payment is made the booking is set to Active and the payment amount shows in the invoice fields (if IPN is enabled). If the guest enters their booking details but does not complete the payment, the booking is either set to On Request or Canceled depending on your NON PAYMENT BOOKING STATUS setting.
