Processing Payments

The Sylius PayPal Plugin supports asynchronous payment completion, ensuring that orders are updated only after successful confirmation from PayPal.

To handle this, the plugin provides a console command:

bin/console sylius-paypal:complete-payments

How It Works

• The command scans all PayPal payments with the status processing.

• It checks with PayPal whether the order has been successfully completed.

• If confirmed, it updates the payment and order state in Sylius.

Setting Up as a Cron Job

To keep payment statuses in sync with PayPal, you should run the command regularly via a cron job.

Example Crontab Entry

*/5 * * * * /path/to/your/project/bin/console sylius-paypal:complete-payments >> /var/log/paypal-payments.log 2>&1

This runs the command every 5 minutes and logs the output.

Adjust the interval based on your transaction volume and server ca

Keeping this command active ensures your orders are finalized correctly, even in edge cases.
