Cannot test payment reversal webhook event in sandbox. PayPal REST API

390 Views Asked by At

I need to test payment reversal (not refund) webhook events. I tried using the webhook simulator but am unable to search using the refund id given by it. Is there any other way I can force a sandbox payment into throwing a reversal event?

Webhooks Simulator generates a sample payload for an event and does not create an actual transaction. You won't be able to search refund Id generated by webhooks simulator.

This is a behavior which PayPal needs to trigger, and can not be triggered by a PayPal user.
