Hello,   i am very confused by all the webhooks for recuring payment. My scenario: I have a paypal button for subscription with a hidden field (e-mail of the buyer, plan-id), which i need to identify the plan that was bought and the user who has bought it. This works. Now i need the webhook job, which gives me the possibility to create a bill. What i need for this bill:  - Name - Address - Plan - Costs - E-Mail of PayPal - My custom field   I am currently lost in the webhook API. I think i need the very first successfull payment notification (Create first bill) and then i need a notification for each recuring payment (e.g. every month) and create the follow up bills. There is a  "event_type":"BILLING.SUBSCRIPTION.ACTIVATED" and  "event_type":"PAYMENT.SALE.REFUNDED" and  "event_type":"PAYMENT.SALE.COMPLETED". The data that comes with it is extremly hard to identify. I did not found a Java DTO for these types, so i builded my own POJO for it.  There is so much confusing me.  For example i have a friend that made a payment for test in the live environment. There was an error in my code, so i reverted the payment. If i resend the webhook, sometimes there is a sale id , sometimes there is refund reason, sometimes there is the payment sale completed event. It is so confusing. I just want to create my bills and mark the subscription time, so that the user can use the service for the paid period. Does anybody have a good example for doing such thing? I am using Java.  ...

Is it possible that someone of you can make this example: https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-Java-SDK/blob/master/rest-api-sample/src/main/java/com/paypal/api/sample/SubscriptionSample.java work with webhooks? I have created a webhook (The event that is configured for my webhook is: Billing subscription activated) and used the webhook mock to test the webhook. My backend receives the event and can process it.   But if i use the example code above to make a subscription, i never receive the webhook event on my server. Do i need to add the webhookId somewhere? Also confusing the return url and notification url. What is the difference and do i need to set them to get the subscription activated event? Thank you friends. ... View more
