Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a website builder or store platform to use this?
No — PayPal webhooks can be connected directly, which is useful if you sell via PayPal Buttons, invoices, or a custom checkout without a full ecommerce platform.
What data does PayPal actually give me about the product sold?
PayPal payloads often contain limited product detail (just amount and a description field), so notifications may show generic 'someone purchased' messaging rather than a specific product name unless you pass that data yourself.
Can I filter out test transactions or refunds?
Yes, you can filter by event type and by PayPal sandbox vs. live environment before notifications are shown.
Does this replace Stripe integration?
No — it's a separate integration. If you use both processors, you can run both simultaneously and NotiProof will combine events into one notification feed.
Is buyer personal information shown in notifications?
No. We recommend showing only first name and general location (city/country), never full names or emails, to protect buyer privacy.
