PAYMENT.SALE.COMPLETED not received

I've implemented PayPal recurring payments following this guide.

All seems to be working, the subscription is created when the sandbox customer purchase it, but the problem's that I reiceve on the webhook only this event: BILLING.SUBSCRIPTION.CREATED, I should receive also: PAYMENT.SALE.COMPLETED but I haven't

I also logged in to the sandbox customer account and I don't see any transaction, seems that the subscription is only created but not paid for. What could cause this? The sandbox customer has available balance.

  • What could cause this?

    It is normal. You need to wait for the first payment in the billing cycle to actually occur.
