 * Just wondering about the webhook part of the settings – there’s nothing about
   it in the documentation. Is creating one required?

 * [@tnightingale](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tnightingale/) there is an
   entire section dedicated to webhooks in our documentation.
 * That write up is a bit outdated but still provides the general information. The
   plug-in automatically creates webhooks for you when you connect it to your Stripe
   account.

 * This is for the “Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce” plugin. The link to 
   documentation in admin doesn’t have anything about webhooks.
    We’re not using
   Stripe, I think your answer is related to a different plugin.

 * [@tnightingale](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tnightingale/) My bad, I 
   didn’t check which support forum this was for and assumed it was for our Stripe
   plugin.
 * The webhook is generated automatically by the plugin when you connect it to your
   PayPal account. The webhook has two functions, both of which aren’t critical 
   to your store:
 * 1. If you create a refund in the PayPal dashboard, the webhook will also add 
   a refund in your WooCommerce store to ensure your accounting is accurate in WooCommerce.
 * 2. Should anything interfere with the payment process (rare) the webhook is there
   to ensure post payment processes like updating the order status are run.
 * Kind Regards,
