My WebHook events seem to get in reverse order

[Alex_Escalante]

I first get the PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED and then the CHECKOUT.ORDER.APPROVED

I would think that I should get the approval first, with my own internal reference there, and then, when the payment capture comes, I can match the paypal supplied order_id.

But since they are getting reversed... how do you make this work, guys?

Thanks for the help.

Dear @Alex_Escalante,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

I understand that you have received the webhooks in reverse order, with PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED arriving before CHECKOUT.ORDER.APPROVED.

I have personally tested the flow from my end and did not encounter any similar issues. Therefore, I suggest trying the flow again to see if the issue persists. If you continue to experience the same problem, kindly create an MTS ticket via -  https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US with detailed information. We will be happy to assist you.

Sincerely,
