How can I get the transaction id from the Billing ...

Hi all,   I'm integrating the Billing subscription payment failed webhook event and have had a hard time being able to test a declined/failed payment. I just want to be able to know how I can get the transaction Id from the webhook event. All I seem to be able to see is the subscription id and billing plan id, but I need the transaction Id. Has anyone else dealt with this? thanks! ... View more

Webhook event sending multiple requests despite 20...

Hi all!   Looking to get some help with PayPal webhooks. I understand that PayPal will retry and send the same notification 25 times over the course of 3 days if a http server does not respond with 200.    I have this implemented on a lambda function which will get triggered when a subscription payment comes through with the payment.sale.completed event and i'm making sure to return a 200 statusCode if everything is successful. I've tested successful payments that return a 200 response, and it will still just send multiple of the same transaction to my lambda function. Wondering if anyone has encountered this or if this is potentially just a sandbox issue? I really don't want this to be happening once we go live.    Thanks!! ... View more

Sandbox webhook notifications for recurring paymen...

Hi all,   Hoping I can get some help with this question. I am trying to set up a paypal webhook for recurring payments or donations. From what I have searched so far the PAYMENT.SALE.COMPLETED event seems to be the correct webhook for this. However, when I try to create a mock recurring payment using the personal sandbox account to the business sandbox account and look then try looking at the webhook events in the developer account, I see nothing. But when I click into the notifications tab under Sandbox, I can see the recurring payment with subject: You sent an automatic payment to Test Store, but this is not the triggering the webhook event.    I have a Lambda function being triggered by the webhook and set up the API Gateway endpoint link for the webhook URL.    Any help will be greatly appreciated been stuck on this for a few days and the documentation isn't very helpful 😕    Thanks!! ...
