I have implemented recurring payments using PayPal Rest API. I have subscribed to some events of webhooks. When the subscription is created, I got a notification from paypal. But when the recurring payment created I have not get any notification, even on the events console of developer account.
There is a solution to get the list of transactions from transaction API and on the basis of agreement id verify the transaction you want.

I am using Paypal rest API on my site. Till now I have implemented flow for regular order -
Create checkout session
Approve Payment by Payer
Capture Payment
Refund against captured payment
For subscription, I have implemented -
Create a checkout session with a subscription
Approve subscription by the payer
But after this, I couldn't get any further to capture any payment even from webhook, against which I could initiate a refund. There is an API for subscription capture, but it only adjusts the outstanding balance with the current payment. Also, the API doesn't return any object that might carry any capture info to work on a refund.
Does PayPal have any way to refund against payments on recurring subscriptions?
Approved subscriptions will charge automatically on their schedule. That is the point of subscriptions.
To be notified of subscription payments, register a listener endpoint for the webhook event PAYMENT.SALE.COMPLETED.
To refund subscription payments, full or partially, use the rel:refund link within any such sale object to refund it. See the v1/payments/sale/.../refund API call.
I want to update the status of subscription in database based on changes in PayPal user's account. I am not getting any notification from paypal side for it. What should I do for it. Our site is working as a platform and our client provide subscription for their customers. So when a customer changes the status of subscription in PayPal side then the same status needs to update at our side. We have used IPN not API. Please suggest.
It depends on the type of the subscription integration you have.
If it is a classic subscription that was created with a notify_url specified for IPN, then you should receive an IPN message with the txn_type subscr_cancel, as documented here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api-basics/notifications/ipn/IPNandPDTVariables/
If you have a current PayPal Subscriptions integration, you can subscribe to the webhooks event BILLING.SUBSCRIPTION.CANCELLED, as documented here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api-basics/notifications/webhooks/event-names/#subscriptions
I've implemented PayPal gateway in my application, and I'm looking for a way to send a notification to my customer when an upcoming renewal is coming.
Unfortunately in the documentation I didn't find a depth explaination about INVOICING.INVOICE.SCHEDULED but I'm guessing should be the same as invoice.upcoming of Stripe which is triggered when a recurring payment is going to be renewed.
My question is: INVOICING.INVOICE.SCHEDULED is sended by PayPal automatically when a recurring payment is going to be renewed?
Invoicing and Subscriptions are two separate PayPal products. I would not expect an Invoicing webhook in relation to a Subscription recurring payment.
The subscription webhooks are listed here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/webhooks/event-names/#subscriptions
If you are looking for one that happens "in advance" of a scheduled payment, I am not aware of one.
I'm creating a website using paypal recurring payments. Each month the payment happens automatically, but I need to know when this happens in order to update the user profile in my application, so I know until when the subscription is valid.
Using paypal webhooks, which events do I need to subscribe to in order to know when the payment actually happens (or fails) each month?
My users subscribe to my project using the paypal button "Subscribe", and then I manage the monthly payments via the IPN, but if the user delete his account, I'd like to unsubscribe him automatically, without asking him to go to Paypal to cancel his subscription.
Is it possible to use the Paypal Adaptive Payment API to tell Paypal to unsubscribe this user ?
Bonus question : is it possible to use the Paypal Adaptive Payment API to know the status of the subscription, and eventually also to modify it (lower the amount for example) ?
You wouldn't use the Adaptive Payments API to unsubscribe a user from a subscription. If the buyer signed up for a subscription, you could ManageRecurringPaymentsProfileStatus API to cancel the profile. As for the status, you would not be able to use the "GetRecurringPaymentsProfileDetails" API call to get the status for subscriptions. This would only be supported for recurring payments, not subscriptions. However, you could use IPN which would send you the details when the profile gets created, when a new transaction is processed, and etc. Then you could just query your own database for the details.
