PHP Paypal IPN Dispute handling

Question

I have a Paypal IPN that handles all my payments, creates accounts in the database, etc. When it comes to disputes, it can check when one is opened and adds a row for the dispute with transaction id, amount, etc. My problem is I don't know if there's a way to check if the dispute is closed, and if it is won/lost. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

Answer 1

IPN has transaction_type parameter which can contain different variables and this is how you know what is happening.

In your case you check transaction_type to be adjustment and if it is you can see case_type to check if it is a disput or refund.
