Updating order status using PayPal IPN?

7/04/2019 10:19 amNathon Jones Web Design

We have a website set up with eCart and PayPal and it's testing fine and working well.
The client has asked if it's possible, when they refund a transaction in PayPal, if it could automatically update the order status in their database, one assumes by identifying by the PayPal order ID.

Is this possible? Is this Instant Payment Notification, and is it something you could help us configure/setup?
This would only apply to refunds and we only need it to update an integer field to the value for "refund".

Hope you can help, thank you.
