PayPal is one of the most popular on-line payment systems. It allows for money transfers between bank accounts, which are identified by e-mail addresses. Each account is linked to one or more credit cards, e.g. a VISA card, with on-line payment enabled.

It’s easy to spoof the Return URL you sent to PayPal since it is visible in the query string. Therefore, a user could type in the Confirmation URL directly and you should not confirm the order at this point. You can then manually check the order on the PayPal website or wait for PayPal’s confirmation e-mails, etc., all of which let you know that the order was processed manually.
To automate the process, PayPal can optionally ping you back at another URL with order completion information. It uses a mechanism called Instant Payment Notification (IPN), which is essentially a web-based callback mechanism that calls a pre-configured URL on your site. IPN must be enabled on the PayPal side and when allowed it sends a confirmation to this URL after the order was processed. PayPal then expects a return from you within a certain timeframe (a few minutes) and returns a response to confirm that the customer has paid. To enable this, you have to POST the data back to PayPal by echoing back all the form data that PayPal sends to you. IPN is optional, but it is a requirement if you need to immediately confirm the orders to your customers.
While using the PayPal payment method, a customer is not required to fill any additional information in the last step of the checkout process. After the Finish payment button is clicked, the user is redirected to the PayPal payment gateway to finish payment:
