PayPal

Trigger a WhatsApp message when PayPal reports a successful transaction. PayPal uses IPN or Webhooks — Splashify receives the PayPal Webhook format.

Setup

1. Copy your Splashify webhook URL

https://apis.splashifypro.com/api/v1/webhooks/integrations/<your-user-id>/paypal

2. Add the webhook in PayPal

developer.paypal.com  → Apps & Credentials → pick your app → scroll to Webhooks → Add Webhook.

FieldValue
Webhook URLURL from step 1
Event typesPayment capture completed (and optionally Payment capture denied)

Save. PayPal issues a Webhook ID — keep it visible.

3. Configure in Splashify

Configuration tab:

  • API Key / Webhook ID — paste PayPal’s Webhook ID (used for future verification support)

  • Phone Field — depends on how you collect phone. PayPal doesn’t always return it. Two options:

    • Pass phone at order-creation time as custom_id or inside purchase_units[0].custom_id → set field path to custom_id
    • Use PayPal’s Buyer contact info experience and map payer.phone.phone_number.national_number

  • Variables:

    VarField pathSample
    {{1}}amount.value299.00
    {{2}}amount.currency_codeUSD
    {{3}}id3C679...

  • Toggle Enabled → Save.

4. Test

From the PayPal Webhooks UI → Webhooks Simulator → pick PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED → Send Test. Check the Splashify logs.

Gotchas

  • Phone isn’t guaranteed. PayPal only returns phone when the buyer explicitly shares it — store it yourself at checkout time.
  • Signature verification not yet enabled. Keep the URL secret and consider rotating by creating a new integration + deleting the old one if exposed.
