    A few days ago I started getting emails from paypal saying IPN failed. Shortly after, customers started emailing me saying they're having issues.
    I dont understand what to do. I also noticed that PayPal now has a different way of generating credentials for api access nad the entries I have in amember don't coincide with whatever credentials paypal has.
    For instance. AMEMBER asks for:
    API Username
    API Password
    API Signare

    but new PayPal interface has 2 things
    1 - Live API Credentials, where they have:
    PayPal account
    Client ID
    Secret

    or
    2 - NVP/SOAP API apps, where i can "manage webhooks"

    I don't know what to do and which method to choose. I do seem to already have Live API Creds but they do not match what's in the amember paypal configuration.
    Need help ASAP

    thanks!

    OK my mistake.. I found where the credentials are (go figure they're in an entirely different place within paypal) but that still doesnt answer why the IPN is failing - any advice?
