PayPal REST completePurchase fee information - paypal

Question

How can I get the fees from PayPal?
When I complete the purchase I can do $data = $response->getData(), and I get this information:

I only can see the handling_fee field but when i access my facilitator account
https://gyazo.com/fc55e97066ee755efee7867a3c42e913
I can see the estimated field, how can i get this field?
I already do a integration with paypal and I can get that field from
$response['data']['transactions'][0]['related_resources'][0]['sale']['transaction_fee']['value'];
But this field sale doesn't have the transaction_fee field.

Answer 1

Payments in state=>approved must be executed in order to be in state=> completed.
Once a payment is completed or at least pending, its sale object , available at https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/sale/9XL29023PP3022045 in your example , should have details on financials. This is the identifier that has actual accounting value, and which will be persisted for years in the paypal.com account.
The payment object, id PAYID-LYUDPFA8E292123AP955374L in your example, is only used during the payment approval and execution process. It only needs to be kept around ~1 month for debug purposes, as it has no accounting value and will not be referenceable in paypal.com
