I need to add custom headers to my PayPal webhook calls, so I can make a message in Slack. Is there any way to add headers to a PayPal webhook request?
I don't see anything in webhook creation that would let you set a custom header for PayPal to send along with the webhook: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/webhooks/v1/#webhooks_post
So, the straightforward solution would be to have the webhook go to your own code/listener, and that webhook listener of yours can immediately do a Slack API call to send the message.

I am building the system to listen to the Payment changes in PayPal for that I research and recommended using Webhooks over the IPN.
As of now, I can able to create an app and add webhooks with event subscribers. Also, with the webhook simulator I am getting notified correctly but with the actual Payment made in the sandbox does not trigger anything to the listener.
I have verified the correct business account linked with credentials as well.
Everything is working perfectly except the Webhooks triggering from PayPal.
Also, as noting is triggering I do not have debug id as well.
If you have not registered any webhook listeners for any of your REST Apps (either sandbox or live), PayPal will not send any webhooks because it does not know which ones to send events for, or where to send them.
To register webhooks for an app, either:
Find the app for the correct sandbox account in My Apps and Credentials (or create one), and Add Webhook
Do so via using thewebhooks API, with the correct REST App client id and secret for authentication
Until you register a listener URL for event(s), no webhooks will be sent.
I want to use the payout interface of paypal. Using curl in sandbox mode has been called. However, I dont know how to use returnUrl, because I need to know whether the payment of paypal is successful. This should be an asynchronous operation. I filled in the callback address in the location shown in the figure, but I checked the access log and found that no callback was received. Who can help me and how to solve this problem?
The URL you speak of in REST App settings really only applies to things like Connect with PayPal or OpenID integrations, and has nothing to do with Payouts.
To be notified of Payouts status, see the API response of your Payouts request, or register for Webhook events that have to do with Payouts.
I have setup webhook and IPNs (Instanst Payment Notifications) with in paypal. It is my understanding that if I select ' * All Events ' within the webhook setup, that I would receive a webhook for any transaction that occurred in paypal - including ebay sales that were paid through paypal.
Since setting up the webhook, I have had a few sales go through paypal, but 0 webhook notifications were receivied.
Am I missing something about paypal webhooks?
The most effective way before you start receiving payments is usually by testing your webhook events and if they're going through, follow the below step
Set up your development environment.
Configure a webhook listener.
Validate your listener configuration with mock webhook events.
Subscribe to events.
Verify event notifications.

I created a PayPal plus Payment in my website. I can choose a payment methode and I can pay.
I have also created a PayPal webhook. The webhook works. I tested it in the webhook simulator.
The problem is: if I pay i receive nothing in my webhook.
What can I do?
Presumably you need to Subscribe to Events by providing your webhook URLs PayPal; note that this is completely separate from testing in the simulator. See: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/webhooks/rest-webhooks/#subscribe-to-events
I am unable to get the Paypal provided REST client (the client side js) to trigger webhook events in the sandbox to receive payment confirmation on my server app.
Here's what I can do/ have done:
I have created a REST app in the sandbox.
I have subscribed to all webhook events.
I am able to pay with the client app using my sandbox client id and see see the payment reflected in the facilitator account.
I am able to generate a webhook event using the Webhook simulator and receive it / parse it on my server.
However, when I do a sandbox payment transaction using the client, no webhook event is created (as reflected in the Webhook events list provided in the dashboard), nor it is sent to my server. Again, my server receives simulated webhooks just fine.
The problem seems to be that the Paypal REST Client is not generating a webhook event. I have tripled checked everything, but cannot see what I've missed. Help!
I have the same problem. I racked my brain trying to figure out if something was wrong with my code. I contacted Paypal and they said this is an ongoing issue with Paypal sandbox and are working to resolve it.
