hello,
i have a question regarding to the payment status. I implement right now express checkout to our shopping card. and the sandbox tests are sucessfull.
after the payment (DoExpressCheckoutPayment) i get the status:
[PAYMENTINFO_0_PAYMENTSTATUS] => Pending
[PAYMENTINFO_0_PENDINGREASON] => paymentreview
[PAYMENTINFO_0_REASONCODE] => None
when i check the transaction details (GetTransactionDetails) i get also a:
[PAYMENTSTATUS] => Pending
[PENDINGREASON] => paymentreview
[REASONCODE] => None
the doku says "paymentreview: The payment is pending while it is being reviewed by PayPal for risk."
but in both testaccounts (seller and buyer) is the transaction marked as completed. So can my system handle this STATUS and REASON as a successful payment?
or are these status messages just in the sandbox like this?
thanks for your time and answer.
Mario

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.
Update
I was using the default API_USERNAME, PASSWORD etc when seeing the "pending" status. After creating a new test account on https://developer.paypal.com and getting new api credentials, the status started showing up as "Completed" with PAYMENTINFO_0_PAYMENTTYPE as "instant"
