Re: Paypal buy now/subscription response

IPN will send back transaction confirmation to a page that you specify. It is then up to your code to process the response back in your site/database. You can specify custom attributes to go along with the PayPal message so that you can tie everything back together. I'd suggest you read the developer section on the PayPal site - they even have sample code.
