Does paypal resend IPN once a payment status has been changed from pending to complete/failed?

Question

I have done some scouring but cannot find a definitive answer for this!

I get "VERIFIED" and "Pending" so i can put my orders from "placed" to "in-progress" but need the complete / failed so i can then transfer to "paid" and "cancelled".

Anyone have anything definitive on this, or is it a waiting game until test payments are complete (not using sandbox).

Answer 1

If the payment has a “Pending” status, you receive another IPN when the payment clears, fails, or is denied.

Also, here are some good things to check once you receive Payment_staus=completed

• Check that the "txn_id" is not a duplicate to prevent a fraudster from using reusing an old, completed transaction
• Validate that the "receiver_email" is an email address registered in your PayPal account, to prevent the payment from being sent to a fraudster's account
• Check other transaction details such as the item number and price to confirm that the price has not been changed
