Hello, everyone, I want to get paypal transaction ID from transactions API.

I only get below response, I didn’t get paypal transaction ID.

Also tried order API and fulfillments API too, but didn’t see paypal transaction ID as well.

Thanks for any suggestions!

P.S. I used paypal sandbox account to purchase items on my test shop and fullfill the order manually to test the flow.

Hi @Cloudyman ,

Payment gateway details would be included in the receipt, if any additional details were sent. The example you gave is for a “marked as paid” transaction, thus there is no gateway info sent. This field would be populated on transactions that directly ping the gateway’s servers, such as a live transaction.

Cheers,

Hello @Busfox ,

please can you explain what do you mean by “directly ping the gateway’s servers, such as a live transaction”

I want to get the Paypal transaction ID, when I create an order on my store I don’t find the Paypal transaction-id.

thank you

hello @Busfox ;

your reply was helpful for me, but my i kinda want that receipt data for an order, as long as the order was checked out through PayPal express checkout.

i can’t get this data because i’m on a development store & for me to be able to do so i need to switch to paid plan which cost at least 29$.

if anyone could provide me this data, feel free to reach me at: ismailalabou@gmail.com.

i would be very thankful.

peace out

Hello @ismailalabou ,

Were you able to figure out a way to test PayPal Express checkout on your development store without a PayPal paid plan? I’m in the same situation as you are.

Thanks

hi @simplyfyi ,

unfortunately there is no way to test #PayPal_express_checkout without having a paypal personnel/business account (with founds) & a #Shopify online store (not development);

once you have both of them (PayPal account & Shopify store), then u can make real transactions (for testing purposes); & then request & respond to your refund requests.

good luck :slightly_smiling_face: ,

Could you specify which Shopify REST endpoint one could get the transactionID that i would see on the Paypal side? A link or the name of the rest endpoint would be really helpfull, thanks :slightly_smiling_face:
