Paypal - RestAPI - Sandbox Webhook not occurring - rest

Question

Using my sandbox account with the RestAPI, I've created an invoice. My buyer account got the notification, I went to the link and paid it ok. There's notifications that I received payment. However, no WebHook notification.
I added all events to my WebHook. When using the WebHook simulator, I get the POST to my API just fine. It's hosted by a Redmond based cloud provider and is https.
Under the WebHook Events link in the Sandbox section, it's showing no entries.
Where else can I go to investigate this?

Answer 1

list all your registered webhooks use following with your actual access-token
curl -v -X GET https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/notifications/webhooks \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <Access-Token>'
in the response, you should be able to find out what exactly were in the system for your webhooks, if not, did you created the webhooks as document says?
curl -v POST https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/notifications/webhooks \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <Access-Token>' \
-d '{
"url": "https://www.yeowza.com/paypal_webhook",
"event_types": [
{
"name": "PAYMENT.AUTHORIZATION.CREATED"
},
{
"name": "PAYMENT.AUTHORIZATION.VOIDED"
}
]
}'

Answer 2

From what I see on the RestAPI documentation azlankasim is correct saying that only some fundings are supported.
On the bottom of the page it says that only PayPal authorizations are supported.
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/rest-webhooks-overview/
"Note: Only PayPal authorizations are currently supported. Direct credit card transactions are not yet supported. We are actively working on adding more event types."
Have you tried to test using PayPal payment, to check if this is the problem?

Answer 3

You may need to check what are the funding sources used to create the payment. Currently webhook only sends the notification if the customer pays with an echeck. So far there are no notifications sent if the payment is made with other funding sources. Also, you may need to check the events that you have chosen. Based on this documentation , only authorizations are currently supported.
