I'm finishing up my paypal webhook, when dealing with subscriptions is their a difference between BILLING.SUBSCRIPTION.ACTIVATED and BILLING.SUBSCRIPTION.CREATED?

When looking at the the developer docs it doesn't say anything except A subscription is activated and A subscription is created which doesn't say if there is a difference.

A subscription must necessarily be created before it can be activated, you can't activate a nonexistent subscription.

A subscription can be suspended and activated again.

  • Fair enough, so i wouldn't necessarily have to do anything with a created webhook on the server side? – skivecore Jul 16 '21 at 13:40
  • Not necessarily, but possibly. It depends on how you are having the user approve the subscription and what the `user_action` is. The default is to activate the subscription when approved. – Preston PHX Jul 16 '21 at 18:56
