When my client pays via PayPal. How do I receive that the payment was complete and how much they paid on my web page other than looking it up on the PayPal website?

Good day @rdaughdril,
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
Yes, you can able to achieve this requirement using the payment notifications service.
I request to please contact your website developer or the support of third party eCommerce platform to refer below guide links to implement payment notification service.
- If your website is built via NVP/SOAP API integration, please use the Instant Payment Notification(IPN) service to get the payment notifications.
Guide link - https://developer.paypal.com/api/nvp-soap/ipn/
- If your website is built via REST API integration, please use Webhooks event notification to get the payment notifications.
Guide link - https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/webhooks/
You can retrieve the transaction payload from the PayPal notification service and update your internal database.
Sincerely,
Chiranjeevi
PayPal/Braintree MTS
