Answer 1

Take a look at Instant Payment Notification (IPN) . It will POST transaction data to a listener script you have on your web server in real-time so you can automate tasks based on pending payments, completed payments, refunds, disputes, etc.

For PHP there are lots of IPN templates/classes available for you to use. Here's one that I built years ago that is still very useful. There are good options on Packagist so you can easily load them up in Composer, too, if you'd rather go that route.
