Answer 1

I am guessing that you passed something like that

{ 
    "url": "{{WebhookURL}}",
    "event_types":  [
        {
            "name": "BILLING_AGREEMENTS.AGREEMENT.CANCELLED"
        }
        ]
}

to: https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/notifications/webhooks . Then you will be able to see the registered Webhook event in your developer dashboard => My apps & credentials => [app name]

Some seconds/minutes after cancelling your Billing Agreement as a buyer (from https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/myaccount/autopay/ ) you should be able to see the webhook that was sent to your endpoint in your developer dashboard => sandbox => Webhook events. If you can't see it there, then Paypal never sent it out.

ps: Make sure that your endpoint (registered at 'url' above) :

• always returns 200 OK
• is publicly accessible
• accepts POST requests
• no authentication is required
