- Go to the Setup > Notification Rules menu, and click the Instant Payment Notification tab.
- For each enabled rule, double-click the rule name to access the rule settings.
- In the Instant Payment Notification URL of the API form V1, V2 section, change the URL to call in TEST and PRODUCTION mode.
- Save the changes.
- Proceed in the same way for each activated rule.
- Change the default URLs in your Merchant Back Office:
- Go to the Setup > Shop > Configuration menu.
- In the Details section, change the URL field.
- In the Return URL section, change the Return URL of the Shop in TEST mode field and Return URL of the Shop in PRODUCTION mode.
- Save the changes.
- Check the URLs submitted by your website
- Are you using a proprietary solution?
Ask your webmaster (or your developer) to check if the different URLs are transmitted in the payment form and modify them accordingly.
Here is the list of fields to check:
Field label Description vads_shop_url Shop URL vads_url_return Default return URL to the shop vads_url_success Return URL to the shop in case of accepted payment vads_url_refused Return URL to the shop in case of declined payment vads_url_cancel Return URL to the shop in case of cancellation vads_url_error Return URL to the shop in case of technical error vads_url_check Instant Payment Notification URL at the end of the payment - Do you use a payment module provided by Sogecommerce?
In this case no action is necessary. The module dynamically retrieves the URL configured on your website.
Simply change the URL in the IPN configuration as described above.

- Changing the notification URLs in your Merchant Back Office
- If the domain name does not changeExampleMy former URL: http://example.netMy new URL: http://example.net
- Respect the DNS propagation delayThe Domain Name Server (DNS) propagation is the time taken to account for this change in the DNS configuration.When you change your hosting provider, some requests will continue to arrive to the old provider for a few days (48 to 72h).
DNS is essential for the Internet to work. It allows to establish the correspondence between your domain name (http://example.com) and its IP address (111.22.123.124).
To access your website, the buyer should use http://111.22.123.124/. Thanks to DNS, the buyer can connect to http://example.com (easier to remember) to access the shop.
