Payments fail, order cancelled

Hi @skinperforator

Besides that it’s only CHECKOUT.ORDER.APPROVED and PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED in there.

Those are the main events that the webhook listens for so that’s normal.

The PayPal plugin uses the WordPress core request API to communicate with PayPal. You likely have some 3rd party plugin that’s using filter http_request_args to manipulate the body property of the request, setting it to a boolean value, which results in that validation error.

The PayPal plugin wouldn’t be sending that boolean value.

Kind Regards

Hi, thanks for the response!
I was thinking: in that case you describe, wouldn’t it be that all the orders don’t work? In our case it’s sometimes so sometimes so. And can you explain why not all orders are in the log at all?

That depends on the logic of the plugin or code that’s using filter http_request_args. The reason I know it’s not caused by the PayPal plugin is because it doesn’t populate the body property unless the HTTP method requires it. If that property isn’t populated, WordPress defaults it to empty strings.

But in your case, it’s being set to a boolean of false which means it’s being manipulated.

Kind Regards

If I list you our plugins, would you know which one is most likely to cause this?

No, it would be impossible to tell just by looking at your list of active plugins.

If you don’t find the plugin that’s causing that, then your best option is to user the filter http_request_args and ensure that the body property is never a boolean. Example:

add_filter('http_request_args', function($args){
    if(array_key_exists('body', $args)){
        if(is_bool($args['body'])){
            $args['body'] = '';
        }
    }
    return $args;
});

Kind Regards
