I'm trying to get notified via webhooks when a simple payment is made, however I don't receive any request from paypal on the specified URL. Here is what I've done:
- I have 2 sandbox accounts: Facilitator and Buyer
- Create an app (sanbox mode) for the facilitator account
- Add a webhook URL in that app
- Login into sanbox.paypal.com with the sandbox facilitator username and password
- Generate a buy now button with a test product
- Paste the button code on my page and make a purchase with the sanbox Buyer account
In developer dashboard the payment is received if I go to Sandbox -> Notifications: "Notification of Payment Received from test buyer", but the webhook page on my server is not called. I know this because the php script creates a txt file every time the page is called. Also if I go to Developer Account -> Webhook Notifications and select the app I have this message: You don't have any events for the selected application
NOTE: If I add the URL in the webhook simulator everything works great.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to connect the app with the buy now button?
Thanks
