PayPal IPN empty when buying by card

I have tested a PayPal IPN on sandbox. It works without issue. I tested it using the demo PayPal account. Now I have moved live I cannot test with a PayPal account, as I only have one. So I tried using a card. The payment is successfully made. However, the IPN is empty.

I don't have any PHP errors for the IPN call. The IPN URL defined in Notifications -> Payment Notifications on my live account is correct.

The payment is made using PayPal Smart Checkout: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/#how-the-buttons-work

Does PayPal not use IPNs when buying by card?

What do you need IPN for? That is a very old service.

Use a server-side integration for the PayPal Checkout. Here's the UI: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/server

You'll need two corresponding routes on your server, one for 'Set Up Transaction' and one for 'Capture Transaction', documented here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/reference/server-integration/
