Setting up notifications
The most important rules for notifying your information system of the transaction status are:
- Instant Payment Notification URL at the end of the payment which returns the transaction status at the end of the payment.
- Instant Payment Notification URL on batch change called when a transaction expires or when a transaction put on hold by PayPal (UNDER_VERIFICATION) changes its status.
- Instant Payment Notification URL on batch authorization which indicates the result of a payment when the deferment is greater than 3 days.
To be notified when the payment request is initiated but not yet finalized (WAITING_FOR_PAYMENT transaction status), add a rule of Instant Payment Notification URL call type.
Use the parameters below to create it:
- Triggering event: Pending payment waiting for a confirmation of the external platform.
- Rule condition:
- Variable: Payment method
- Operator: is on the list
- Value: PayPal PayPal Sandbox PayPal Pay Later PayPal Pay Later Sandbox
Find all the information on how to set up notifications in the Notification center user manual.
