Hi @Ruudie
EC tokens are shown in the URL of a PayPal checkout flow. They are also sometimes returned based on different payment calls that are attempted. This helps to easily identify different sessions from different users/attempts. Once a customer clicks on a PayPal Express Checkout button, they'll be taken to PayPal and asked to login. Here, you can look right in the URL and see the EC token at the end just like you can see in this image:
I hope that helps!

Shouldn't the EC-Tokens start with "EC-...." ? That token on the url doesn't start with "EC-..." so it seems it's not the EC-Token. Please confirm.
