Solution

  • Order IDs from the v2/checkout/orders API are only used to keep track of a checkout attempt for approval. They are not persisted in the PayPal system afterward, and you cannot find them in any account views or reports. They are not useful for any accounting once a transaction has been captured, that is not their purpose.

    When a v2/checkout/order is captured, the PayPal transaction ID will be in the capture response at purchase_units[0].payments.captures[0].id. This ID is the one that should be persisted, and will be useful to reference in account views and reports.

    You can also store your system's own unique ID as part of any transaction. The invoice_id at order creation time exists for this. Make sure it is unique (never before used for a previously successfully captured transaction). For a non-unique field that can store arbitrary data, use custom_id.
