Does PayPal use the same Transaction ID when Retrying failed payments?

Question

I'm building a recurring/subscription payment system with PayPal and all is going well.

Can anyone share the IPN data for when PayPal sends a retry payment? Specifically I need to know if paypal is going to use the same txn_id, or generate a new one every time it retries?

Appreciate the help!

Answer 1

You should receive a new transaction id everytime a payment is processed. You can test this by setting up a recurring payment in the sandbox, and setting it to bill daily.
