Trying to implement payments with Checkout-Python-SDK with requirement to provide the public link to detailed receipt to payer. Creating order on client, capturing it on server and everything is fine except I don't mind how to point user to his recipt.
There is known endpoint https://www.paypal.com/receipt/?id={paypal_invoice_id}, but it seems to work with invoices only (not orders or payments). Checkout-Python-SDK does not support invoices (yet?) and previous Paypal-Python-SDK works with API v1 only and is "in the process of being deprecated".
Anyway I can create invoice by hand with API v2 but should I? Invoices workflow looks too complex just for receipt link. So, is there any way to get receipt link after checkout?
Practically everyone with this requirement implements a normal PayPal checkout, and serves the detailed receipt at www.yourwebsite.com/orderconfirmation/your_order_id , or similar.
That is simply how things are done.
The PayPal invoice workflow is for a different use-case than checkouts, and so no, it should not be used unless you specifically need to send an invoice.
