Invoicing API - Get info about marked payment

[Denzel27]

Hi there

I have developed an integration of the PayPal Invoicing API for personal use and overall, i am pretty satisfied with the functionalities the API provides. However, I could not find any way of getting information about when an invoice was marked as paid. I know that we can find out whether it was paid, that we can send a POST-request to mark it as paid and that we can set up a webhook that will send us the information I am talking about.

But is there any way for me to fetch an invoice's payment information like method, date and note without using a webhook?

Thanks in advance
Denzel

Good day @Denzel27,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

Yes, you can use "Show invoice details" API which returns the status of the invoice.

status enum : The status of the invoice.

The possible values are: 

• DRAFT. The invoice is in draft state. It is not yet sent to the payer.
• SENT. The invoice has been sent to the payer. The payment is awaited from the payer.
• SCHEDULED. The invoice is scheduled on a future date. It is not yet sent to the payer.
• PAID. The payer has paid for the invoice.
• MARKED_AS_PAID. The invoice is marked as paid by the invoicer.
• CANCELLED. The invoice has been cancelled by the invoicer.
• REFUNDED. The invoice has been refunded by the invoicer.
• PARTIALLY_PAID. The payer has partially paid for the invoice.
• PARTIALLY_REFUNDED. The invoice has been partially refunded by the invoicer.
• MARKED_AS_REFUNDED. The invoice is marked as refunded by the invoicer.
• UNPAID. The invoicer is yet to receive the payment from the payer for the invoice.
• PAYMENT_PENDING. The invoicer is yet to receive the payment for the invoice. It is under pending review.
