I am currently working on a new integration with PayPal with the NVP (paypalfunctions.php) to process payments. Same integration works for other projects, but on the current one it fails.
Description: Payment Link gets created successfully - gets redirected to Paypal - Login and pay the amount (1 or 5 EUR) - get redirected to the success url.
Problem: Neither the shop account nor the senders account sees the payment and I dont get any callback from PayPal - thus the payment was not processed/accepted, etc. but I dont get any information from Paypal.
The NVP settings that I use are minimal and dont need a delivery address:
$nvpstr="&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT=". $paymentAmount;
$nvpstr = $nvpstr . "&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION=" . $paymentType;
$nvpstr = $nvpstr . "&RETURNURL=" . $returnURL;
$nvpstr = $nvpstr . "&CANCELURL=" . $cancelURL;
$nvpstr = $nvpstr . "&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CURRENCYCODE=" . $currencyCodeType;
$nvpstr = $nvpstr . "&NOSHIPPING=1";
$nvpstr = $nvpstr . "&BRANDNAME=MyName";
$nvpstr = $nvpstr . "&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CUSTOM=" . $paymentId;
$nvpstr = $nvpstr . "&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NOTIFYURL=https://my.callback.com";
The URL gets created successful and all variables are set.
Any idea why this is not working?
Many Thanks

It sounds like you're missing the final call in the process. The flow should be:
No money will be moved until the final DECP call is completed successfully.
Side note: What you're doing is not using the REST API / SDK, so that tag is misleading.
I have a PayPal PHP SDK that will make these API calls very quick and easy for you, so you won't have to build those out manually like you are now. I would recommend you take a look at it. I think you'll like it.
