ClickBank IPN v6.0

[clavaque]

@jaswsinc A user reported getting this warning when setting the IPN URL to v2.1. https://websharks.zendesk.com/agent/#/tickets/3276

[jaswrks]

Thank you for posting this. I am moving this to the "Future Release" milestone. We will need to run another round of tests against the latest version of ClickBank IPNs and resolve any issues.

[clavaque]

Okay.

[jaswrks]

Assigning this to myself.

Sounds like there is an issue with ClickBank's v6 IPN service. I will have to read further.

[jaswrks]

Options currently available to site owners.

[jaswrks]

Version 6 uses a JSON format for the notification. Good, good.

[jaswrks]

The initial work to integrate with v6 is complete. However, there is more to do. I'm going to place a hold on this for now until I see this document has been updated. They are currently lacking any quality code samples for v6; and the note at the top of this page states they are working on a fix in v6.

[jaswrks]

[clavaque]

I imagine that s2member_pro_clickbank_notify=1 will default to v2.1, because it'd indicate an older integration, which would have used that version of the IPN, right?

[jaswrks]

Correct. Anything that is not 6 uses the old behavior.

• I will add a note about this when I come back around to this issue.

[clavaque]

Great. :)

[jaswrks]

Just checking back in here. This document still shows they are working on v6.

[jaswrks]

No change on the ClickBank side of things. This issue will likely get pushed to a future release cycle.

[jaswrks]

Just checking back in here. This document still shows they are working on v6.

[jaswrks]

Punting this to the next release.

[jaswrks]

Article shows no further updates. I just sent ClickBank an email to inquire about the status of v6.

Great, thanks for the heads up!

[jaswrks]

• Test latest changes in v6 of ClickBank IPN.

[jaswrks]

Initial testing shows problems with the decryption routine provided in the examples at ClickBank.

[jaswrks]

Referencing the following example data unencrypted successfully via ClickBank's IPN service, in version 6. We'll need to have a closer look at the downloadUrl property here, as it seems to be the only way to pull s2 Vars from the IPN service now. Not exactly an improvement in this regard.

Almost about ready-to-go w/ ClickBank IPN v6. Initial testing looks good so far.

That said, I'm going to leave this open for further testing, because I have one remaining question regarding refunds. I sent a request for additional code samples to ClickBank; waiting to hear back from them before we release this into the wild.
