What's inside the PayPal template

Rather than one product API, this template consolidates PayPal's public REST surface — Orders, Billing, Disputes, Webhooks, Catalog Products, Payment Experience, and more — behind a single base URL. It also behaves more like a live system than most mocks: fetch an order that doesn't exist and you get PayPal's genuine RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND error envelope on a 404, complete with debug_id and issue details, so the unhappy path your error handler parses is present alongside the happy one.

  • Orders & payments — checkout order retrieval plus authorization handling
  • Billing — the subscription lifecycle end to end — create, activate, suspend, revise, capture, cancel
  • Catalog — the product records that plans and subscriptions hang off
  • Disputes — the full contest lifecycle — evidence, offers, escalation, adjudication, appeal
  • Webhooks — registration, event-type listings, lookups, signature verification, event resends
  • Payment experience — web-profile CRUD for checkout page customization
  • Tracking — shipment tracker queries

Frequently asked questions

None — requests go straight in, with no bearer token and no client-id/secret exchange. That's the point: the OAuth dance PayPal requires before its own sandbox will answer is exactly the setup cost this mock removes. It also means real merchant credentials should never be aimed here.

Parts are, unusually for a template sandbox. Create a webhook lookup, for example, and subsequent list calls include the record you created until it's deleted — enough to test create-read-delete round trips rather than isolated responses.

PayPal's sandbox is a real system: accounts to provision, tokens to refresh, state that drifts between test runs, and occasional maintenance windows. The WireMock simulation trades that realism for control — instant setup, deterministic bodies, and error cases you can rely on in assertions.

The verify-webhook-signature endpoint is stubbed, so code that calls it completes its flow against the mock. Logic that must observe both SUCCESS and FAILURE verdicts belongs in a private WireMock Cloud copy, where each outcome gets its own stub you can trigger at will.
