Details

**Unauthenticated by design** — PayPal holds no Zinn® credential, so its asymmetric transmission signature *is* the authentication, verified server-side against the configured webhook id via PayPal's `verify-webhook-signature` API over the raw body + `PAYPAL-*` transmission headers. This is the only path that turns a confirmed vaulted payment token into a chargeable mandate (`VAULT.PAYMENT-TOKEN.CREATED`) and the only path that settles an async capture (`PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED`); neither may be asserted by a browser. Replays are expected and converge. An event type Zinn® does not handle is acknowledged with 200 (a non-2xx would make PayPal retry it).

Response

NameTypeRequiredWhat it is
statusstring<handled, ignored, duplicate>Yes`handled` — acted on. `ignored` — a valid event of a type Zinn® does not consume. `duplicate` — already processed; Stripe may stop redelivering.
