Hello everyone,
I am quite new in this (paypal development) and this is my first comment/question here, so please, pardon any mistakes I might make.
I am trying to make a sandbox payment using the "Server Side Express Checkout using REST" method (from here: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/server ).
Everything seems to work fine apart from that when I use my buyer account, I see the amount paid being reduced, but it never seems to reach the business account!
I have made several payments all with the same result! No payments received shown in my sanbox account actiivity, and also, although I have enabled IPN notfications, I see none of those payments in my IPN list.
I have some more questions, but maybe I will ask after I manage to find a solution to this one!
For my backend I use python, and I follow the instructions shown here:
For creating the payment:
https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-Python-SDK/blob/master/samples/payment/create_with_paypal.py
And for executing the payment:
https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-Python-SDK/blob/master/samples/payment/execute.py
When I retrieve these payments with a python script
(as shown here here: )
the status of these payments is shown as "approved" ("state": "approved") (While before execution the payment it was ("state": "created")...
I have the feeling that that is the reason why I don't see them in my activity list or in my IPN list, because the "state" should be "completed" or something similar! But how can I do that? I can't find any documentation on the matter and I don't understand why after the payment execution python script finishes, the "state" is not "completed"!
Any help will be much appreciated as this is a bit urgent!
Thank you in advance for your help!
