Hi,

 

My business module get activated once the customer makes the payment. However, the Paypal's APIs (https://api.paypal.com/v1/reporting/transactions) lists the occured payment, by customer, within Three hours! . Therefore, this delay make it useless. Is there anyway so I can get this notification of customer's payment on an immediate base ?

 

Thanks.

Hello @PeterKhaled ,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Community.

The best way to receive immediate notifications is to use webhooks. Webhooks send a notification to your listener url.

Here are the details:

https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/webhooks/rest/

 

Here is information on how to subscribe to Webhook Events:

If you would like to test Webhooks in sandbox, https://webhook.site can give you a test webhook listener, which will allow you to see how it works.

 

Thank you,

Jennifer
