Good day @Jithin1234
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
To check if your monthly subscription plan has been successfully renewed, please follow these steps:
- Select the webhook event type: "BILLING.SUBSCRIPTION.UPDATED".
- Once this event is triggered, you can verify the renewal status by examining the "status" field within the webhook payload. A successful renewal will be indicated by the status being set to "active".
Please refer to the provided guide link below for subscription events details.

Sincerely,

@Ojeel, @Jithin1234 I have been successfully capturing webhooks showing a subscription renewal by checking for events of type "PAYMENT.SALE.COMPLETED" which also include a value for "resource" > "billing_agreement_id". This works for us, and I figured it out after hours searching for an answer. It may not be the best way, but it's the only way I know.
