The hook/function you're showing here would be triggered when any IPN hits your site. You can use it to automate your own procedures based on the IPN being triggered. It won't display anything to the site page/post itself.

If you want to display IPN data on your page/post content then you'll need to use the shortcodes that are provided by the plugin. Check out the Shortcode options in the plugin's developer guide .

For example, if you want to display the last 10 IPN records you would use this shortcode:

[paypal_ipn_list field1="txn_id" field2="payment_date" field3="first_name" field4="last_name" field5="mc_gross"]
