Setting Webhook Urls in Paypal

Hello @marcusbs

The previous IPN endpoint was only used by the PayPal Checkout Gateway plugin (or the Standard integration) and can be disregarded/deleted if you no longer use any of the two integrations.
PayPal Payments does not use PayPal IPN but instead transmits events via webhooks. This works similar to IPN, but better and so you don’t need to enter a specific URL anywhere as everything is automatically configured by the plugin.
To improve the user experience, our recent plugin update 1.6.0 added an interface to manage the webhooks from within the plugin.

So you don’t need to worry about PayPal IPN anymore when using PayPal Payments as our plugin uses the latest PayPal JavaScript SDK and REST API integration.
For any further questions, feel free to reach out anytime.

Kind regards,
Joost

Does this mean, i don’t need to setup any webhook urls in Paypal for Woocommerce Paypal payments plugin to work on my wordpress website? Everything is set up by itself, when I connect Paypal with my Woocommece Paypal?

Hi @marcusbs,

Correct! When you connect your account with the “Connect to PayPal” button, then the webhooks (and some other features) will be configured automatically.
In case there are any issues with the webhooks (e.g. when your orders all remain in “Pending payment” after you have changed the URL or your permalink structure), you can test and resubscribe them through the “Webhooks Status” dashboard that we recently added to the plugin.
There is no need to configure anything within PayPal, as all of it happens from within the plugin.

Kind regards,
Niklas

I want to use some additional webhooks, but however, the webhooks which always was working, from now doesn’t work either.
I just want to call a simple website for testing and sending any emails for testing. Also the plugin “simulator” doesnt work.
