So I've read MANY posts about this some even show the beginnings of some workarounds, but as yet I've not seen any real solutions.

Did I miss something or is it just not possible to use CC-WFB to:

1. To use PayPal IPN to verify payments directly with the program?
2. To avoid duplicate database entries (or any entry) if payment not completed?

Again, apologies for yet another IPN post, I know there are many, but I've yet to see anything definitive. I'm hopeful someone in the forums has come up with a good solution as I am not about to hold my breath the CC will add anything useful to the program based on past experiences. Don't get me wrong, I like CC for what they offer but I've learned generally you get what you get when you buy the software and not to get hopes up that any 'features' promised or hoped for will ever actually be added.

You can use an IPN but you'll have to write all the back end scripts yourself.
