The first solution I can think up is use webhook notification,

But what does paypal do when webhook notification not send successfully.

for situations like:
My webhook notification process server crashed, or some network problems.

Does paypal will resend the same notification later?

If not so, how should I handler situations like these, actively use paypal API to query payment state or what.

Hi, that's correct, in case the webhook can't be delivered at the first attempt PayPal will retry for other 25 times so any issue occurring during the delivery should be covered.
