Why doesn't PayPal sandbox webhooks works?

I integrate PayPal into Android app. I want to test payments in the sandbox. At this time application logs show that test payments is success. I tried to add sandbox webhook, which have to send payment information to my server as I guess.

But I dont't get requests from PayPal after test payments. I tried to simulate webhook request in "Webhooks simulator". I've got the same result.

May be, I've got to do something to get PayPal webhooks requests at my server? Because I have notifications about all test payments in my profile ("Sandbox/Notifications").

Notifications in your sandbox account profile is a simulation of the Transaction Email that PayPal sends to the account, which is irrelevant to webhooks events in this case.

Instead, you may want to check the "Dashboard" > "Sandbox" > "Webhook Events" and see the status of events trigger by the transactions.

Webhook has mandatory requirement on your listener script to be a secure url (HTTPS), so you may check the web server setups as well.

Alternatively, you are still able to use IPN to manage all call-backs for the RESTful API (including Mobile SDK) transactions, with the same approach on the classic APIs, see more detailed on IPN instructions
