Track and Export Your Sales and Customer Data with DPD Purchase Notifications


DPD provides details of all of your completed purchases to any HTTP form processor or 3rd party service of your choice.

The purchase details that we provide are submitted to your form processor via an HTTP POST. The format of the posted data loosly follows the Paypal IPN format. Any processor that can process a Paypal IPN should be able to process our purchase details.

Integration is easy:

The IPN notification URL is a website level option.  This allows you to integrate with specific mailing lists or 3rd party services for each store you manage with DPD.

  2. Choose the store you want to track from the Store pull down at the top of the page.
  3. Click on Integrations from the left navigation.

We support HTTP and HTTPS for communicating with your form processor. You can also use a password protected URL using the format: https://username:password@example.com/myprocessor. All purchase notifications will posted to your form processor within one minute of the purchase completion. If your server fails to respond, we do not try to post the notification again.
