How to use a PayPal Webhook properly? Simulator works, App does not

I see that much has been asked about PayPal Webhooks, but few threads have answers, and the people with a similar question as mine have not been answered. So maybe this will land with someone!

I want a Webhook that sends all payment information to my server. If I simulate a Webhook to the following server, it works properly:

const express = require("express");
app = express();
app.use(express.json());
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");

app.post("/", (req, res, next) => {
 console.log(req.body);
  res.status(200);
 res.send("on");
 next();
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log("server started"));

I am using the pay button made for react. It works in that it successfully executes the payment and logs payment info to the console. Code is:

import React from "react";
import PaypalExpressBtn from "react-paypal-express-checkout";

export default class Pay extends React.Component {
  render() {
    const onSuccess = payment => {
      console.log(payment);
    };

    let env = "sandbox"; 
    let currency = "USD"; 
    let total = 3.29; 

    const client = {
      sandbox:
        "ID_FROM_MY_API_WITH_WEBHOOKS_ENABLED",
      production: "YOUR-PRODUCTION-APP-ID"
    };

    return (
      <div>
        <PaypalExpressBtn
          onSuccess={onSuccess}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

I have an API with webhooks enabled, and am using the clientID given in that API. Any ideas? Thanks!

This issue was solved by using the node SDK implementation for adding and verifying webhooks. The dashboard did not work.
