Product update—Real-time PayPal alerts, subscription upgrades & more

New Features

Solidgate pre-dispute alerts for PayPal — full coverage at your fingertips

We’re thrilled to introduce a powerful new feature—pre-dispute alerts for all PayPal transactions. This unique chargeback prevention tool offers Solidgate merchants comprehensive coverage for Mastercard and Visa transactions going via Paypal wallets.

But it doesn’t stop there—now, external alerts can now be seamlessly matched to your original PayPal transactions and shown in an alerts list. You can now view and filter alerts for each order by payment method directly from the alerts list.

Why it’s a game-changer:

• Stay on top of chargebacks with every acquiring bank: PayPal works with multiple acquiring banks, and our alerts help you stay within limits for each and maintain a strong standing across the board.

• Fine-tune your strategy: Real-time monitoring gives you complete transparency into your risk metrics, enabling you to develop a chargeback prevention plan that aligns seamlessly with your growth strategy.

• Reduce operational load: Leverage a fully automated process that lightens your workload and requires no additional admin.

How to start receiving PayPal alerts: You can start receiving these notifications by connecting to the existing Received Prevention Alert webhook event.

APMs

Test real-world scenarios with enhanced PayPal Sandbox

We’ve upgraded our PayPal sandbox environment with new negative testing scenarios to help you simulate real-world errors. Now, you can test the edge cases in payment processing and be prepared for every situation before going live.

How to get started:

• Confirm access to a PayPal Sandbox account (your account manager can help you with this step if needed)

• Run tests by configuring your API request: Set the currency to USD and use a designated amount to trigger error simulations.
