Re: webhook not send update notification

Hi Has anyone ever had the same problem as me? I tried to include in my script that receives the webhooks a check on both the PAYMENT.SALE.COMPLETED and PAYMENT.SALE.PENDING events Looks like something now is sent from PayPal: when the subscription is automatically renewed, the webhook sends PAYMENT.SALE.PENDING to my script but not the PAYMENT.SALE.COMPLETED. So how do I know if a payment has actually been successful and a subscription is paid and therefore extend the validity on my site? Is it perhaps a limitation only due to the fact that I have sandbox active and not live? Thank you Daniele ... View more

Hi, I activated webhooks to receive payment notifications from PayPal. I'm on sandbox state.   I receive several calls on the server, e.g. with action "ACTIVATED", "CREATED" and "CANCELLED": But I don't understand why I don't receive the renewal ones (BILLING.SUBSCRIPTION.UPDATED) For example, this payment was updated today, but I didn't receive any notification   What am I getting wrong? Thanks for your support Daniele ... View more

paypal recurring payments and ipn management

HI, I'm trying to integrate recurring payments with PayPal into one of my projects. I found this code which seems to work correctly for what I need https://www.codexworld.com/paypal-subscriptions-payment-gateway-integration-php/ However, I don't understand how to manage PayPal notifications in these cases: - managing of the renewal, i.e. whether the renewal payment was successful or not - if a customer who has signed up for periodic payments cancels the subscription from the PayPal portal   I already save the activation, expiration date and others info at the time of the first payment (see  https://ibb.co/2qyKncX) What I don't understand is how PayPal sends the renewal notification (ipn). From what I have read, but I don't understand much, PayPal sends a notification to the site via ipn every time the weekly/monthly fee is deducted from the customer's account based on the plan subscribed to. But I didn't understand where it sends it and how I can process the data to update the customer's subscription. Thanks a lot Daniele ... View more
