Webhooks vs. IPN

hi all,

a customer of mine would like to offer Paypal Plus so I#m trying to setup a testenviroment with your plugin.

With WC’s standard Paypal functionality I used IPN (german: Sofortige Zahlungsbestätigung) and instant-redirect (german: Automatische Rückleitung für Website-Zahlungslösungen) configured at paypal-account.

Switching to PPPlus I found that the new way would be REST-API with Webhooks found unter “developer.paypal.com”.

Currently I have none of the new webhooks configured but only IPN and instant-redirect (old way) and it seems to work so far (only paypal tested, not debit, etc.)

My questions:
– How IPN and instant redirection releate to Webhooks?
– Does Webhooks supersedes IPN/instant redirection?
– When using new Webhooks only, what Endpoints are absolutly nessaccry? Should I use the IPN-Url for every offered webhook-action? My IPN-Url is like ‘https://foo.bar/?wc- api=WC_Gateway_Paypal’

TIA
Detlef

UPD: RTMF 🙂 But still one question remains unsolved.

06. Payment Notifications
Instant Payment Notification is no longer supported in PayPal REST Payment. Existing
integrations with IPN will continue to work but the listener script can no longer be
referenced in the API calls. Notifications are sent only to the notifyURL set in the
merchant account (https://www.paypal.com/de/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-ipn-notify).
Payment notifications are managed via webhooks.
Please note: Webhooks require https!
