Recent Transaction List

[Marco_66]

We need to read the list of the recent authorized transactions.
We saw that:

• v1/reporting/transactions has a delay up to three hours
• v1/payments/payment is deprecated and there is no analog in v2

The use case is as follows:

When there is a payment in person (i.e. the customer in a brick-and-mortar store wants to pay using Paypal) and the merchant does not have a graphical display facing the customer to show the dynamic invoice QR-Code, the customer can scan the "static" QR-Code and the POS system must check the recent transactions to check that the payment was correctly authorized.

We know that we can use Webhooks to receive notification but there is no guarantee that the webhook will be received (for example short intermittent network errors).

Is there any other option or strategy to check recent payments status?

Thanks to everyone 

Marco

Good day @Marco_66,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

Merchants use the below API calls to get the Order details and details for an Authorized payment.

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_get

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/v2/#authorizations_get

Yes, Transaction Search API, It takes a maximum of three hours for executed transactions to appear in the list transactions call.

Webhooks for event notifications. You shouldn’t be facing any delay in the Webhook event notifications.

Sincerely,

Chiranjeevi
