Receiving Instant Payment Notifications for Mass Payments
If you have Instant Payment Notification (IPN) enabled for your account, PayPal sends you an
IPN for each payment made during Mass Payments transaction processing. IPNs are posted to
the Notify URL specified in your account profile.
PayPal sends you an IPN when the funds for the payment have been taken out of the payer's
account. If recipients have IPN set up on their account, they will also receive a Payment IPN.
For more information about Instant Payment Notifications, see the
Instant Payment Notification
Guide.
