IPN - InstanPaymentNotification notifies you when an event occurs that affects a transaction. Typically, these events represent various kinds of payments; however, the events may also represent authorizations, Fraud Management Filter actions and other actions, such as refunds, disputes, and charge backs. IPN is a message service that PayPal uses to notify you about events.
