    Hi,

    I’m testing my shop before going live and refunds via paypal fail saying “No transaction ID”

    Api credentials are correct.

    You cannot refund with sandbox because there was no real payment. Sandbox payments do not have a transaction ID.

    Hi thanks for the reply. I don’t have Sandbox checked.

    The payments were real, I made them from my personal paypal to my business paypal and they appear in both paypal accounts. there is a transaction ID when i look at the payments within paypal so what could be the problem?

    Did IPN mark the order processing? If it didn’t the tx ID won’t be recorded. If it is, you’ll see it on the edit order screen.

    just found this on the order notes…
    Validation error: PayPal IPN response from a different email address ([email protected]). Order status changed from Pending Payment to On Hold.

    could it be that i have a different email address listed for communications to my paypal account?

    Hi Rob,

    Did you ever resolve this issue? I am having the same problem.

    Thanks,
    Pat

    Use receiver email in settings to prevent onhold.

    I am also having this issue. If anyone has a break-through, please post an update. This is causing some problems in my business.

    If IPN is still not working for you, No Transaction ID will be stored…

    In which case, just refund from PayPal UI.

    Morgan

    (@morganmcreynoldsgmailcom)

    So I fully configured IPN and PDT. In the logs, I can see information flowing successfully (or what I believe to be successfully). When I initiate refund in WooC, I still get “No Transaction ID”. Yet I can see it in the logs!

    Even stranger, when I initiate the refund in PayPal, it syncs back to WooC and updates the WooC order status to Refunded.

    How can this work in one direction and not the other?

    And refunding from PayPal UI is not a viable long-term answer for my business. We are high-volume and I need to train people on one way to issue refunds, not different ways based on how the customer paid. And I do not want to give full PayPal access to my employees who handle refunds.

    From our side you need two things;

    a) a TX ID stored. This will be viewed in the order if it’s saved. If this is sandbox, it won’t be.
    b) valid API details in PayPal settings.

    if either is wrong, it won’t work from WC side.

    Hi
    I was having the same issue in my store – API details correct and transaction ID present. I made it work however by unclicking the ‘completed’ button in the orders summary page in WC (next to the edit icon). Once done, refunds work perfectly.
    Hope that helps!
