In the new paypal mobile SDK, there is no longer an IPN Listner. The payement verification is instant. But what if the payment fails?
When you Verify a Mobile Payment you will receive the status of the payment itself. IPN or IPN-like functionality should be coming with future releases as soon as that type of feature is supported with the underlying RESTful APIs. Unfortunately I do not have any eta on this particular implementation.

PayPal Guest check out denying payments but not returning error codes to PayPal Manager. How how do I get data for denied transaction attempts moving forward? We need to track the code PayPal sends us when they reject a credit card. We are using PayPal Adaptive Payments API on a .NET platform.
manager.paypal.com will only show codes returned by the Payflow API (payflowpro.paypal.com) and the Payflow Link web application (payflowlink.paypal.com)
Adaptive Payments uses the endpoint svcs.paypal.com , and its API responses and web declines are not reported or tracked anywhere , much less in manager.paypal.com which is a separate system
If you are indeed using Adaptive Payments, you need to log your own API call responses.
In a web application which is still being developed, we are using the Adaptive Payment SDK. The application uses the chained payment in which there is a primary receiver, which takes a percentage of the payment and then forwards the rest to secondary receiver. We are considering switching to the new Paypal REST APIs. Does it support the said use case?
The PayPal REST API doesn't support Parallel/Chained Payments. And there's no ETA for it. Hopefully someday. There seems to be quite a few requests for it.
I am implementing server side payment verification on parse cloud code and so far it all works.
My question is with reference to the documentation -> https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/mobile/verify-mobile-payment/
Can I just implement the 'Looking up a payment using the REST API' for verification section or do i have to also do further requests and implement the 'How do I verify payments with MSDK version 1.x' sections as well?
Thanks!
You may skip the section of "verify payments with MSDK version 1.x", unless you've integrated with the old version 1.x mobile SDK.
*1.x msdk implements PayPal account payments with "Adaptive Payments" so the verification has to be slightly different from 2.x
My company uses PayPal Payments Standard. Currently our checkout process works via the "cart upload" method and IPN to verify payment via PayPal's website. Should continue to use this method or if we should replace this with the REST API? From what I understand, the REST API is only to be used when the customer stays on our website for checkout, as opposed to going to the PayPal site and returning to our site after checkout. If this is true, I assume the cart upload with IPN method is still the best choice for us, since at this time we prefer to have PayPal handle credit card data. Am I understanding this all correctly?
The REST API is just a different way to integrate the payments programatically. The functionality is very similar and you'll be just fine sticking with what you're doing. No logical reason to spend the time redeveloping it if what you have is working fine for you. They won't be killing it or anything like that (at least not any time in the foreseeable future.)
As i see from a brief view, REST API for Paypal offers webhooks instead of IPN as a way to notify your system about payments and their progress. Each webhook describes which url gets notification request when some type of event takes place.
I am using nopCommerce shopping cart, there is no current implementation of IPN for Recurring Payment if i use PayPal Payment Pro (PayPal Direct) as Payment Method, however IPN works and change the order status only at first installment cycle but never works for second term. I want to develop this feature and spend more than 2 days on this and unable to figure out how to start. I have read all the documentation provided by PayPal but still confused. First of, if anyone tell me if IPN for Recurring Payment is supported by PayPal in case of Payment Pro (PayPal Direct) i am talking about developing this feature by writing code in asp.net MVC C# not buy buttons or etc., i am might have to use APIs? Secondly please help me to develop this feature i would really appropriate that.
IPN does work with PPPRP (Paypal payments pro recurring payments)
And no.. you don't really need to write any APIs.. but you will want to in order to re-capture payments that fail, re-start recurring payments that have failed three times or more.. etc..

IPN is a message service that PayPal uses to notify you about events,
such as:
Recurring payment and subscription actions
