What if connection is lost before "onApprove" ?

[geemsolutions]

Part of the code that I'm talking about:

Spoiler

onApprove: function(data, actions) {
      return actions.order.capture().then(function(details) {
        
// What if connection is lost right before executing the code below

        return fetch('/paypal-transaction-complete', {
          method: 'post',
          headers: {
            'content-type': 'application/json'
          },
          body: JSON.stringify({
            orderID: data.orderID
          })
        });
      });
    }

As everyone else here, I'm using the fetch path to execute the SDK and store some information in the database, said SDK takes the data.orderID

But what do I do if the customer loses connection before fetch is executed? In said case I would not retrive the data.orderID and therefore wouldn't be able to request the details, even though the payment was processed.

Any advice is welcome

Edit: Made a payment through sandbox and closed the tab right after paying, as expected the payment was processed but it wasn't saved on the database.

I'm struggling in the same situation.

It could happen on mobile, switching trought apps, before the completition.

Or closing a tab on desktop.

What could i do to stop this or to recover lost confirmation ?

I saw your message too late.

What I did was:

1) Add a loading screen so the user doesn't click away during transaction

2) Before even processing the Paypal sale information I saved the checkout ID in a temporal table, in the database

So if something goes wrong when requesting the information, I still have the checkout id to process it again
