I am new to paypal and I just have a simple question. I am using an ASP.NET page to make a payment to paypal. I have a sandbox account. My buyers account is decreasing, my facilitators account balance is increasing the sandbox transactions are successful. Now I need a way to tell my application that the transaction was successful so I can update a database.
My question is this, have Payment Data Transfer (PDT) been replaced by webhooks? Should have a service and configure an endpoint to listen for the webhook from paypal. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If you are using the REST API, then yes you should use Webhooks. If you are using the Classic APIs, then you should use IPN.
