Paypal Transaction ID via Api?

    Hi All,

    Im currently building a PHP app to interface with my woocommerce data, i want to link up paypal transactions with the woocommerce order..

    The only 2 unique identifiers for this are 1) Email and 2) Paypal transaction ID (the most ideal)

    I note the v2 / v3 https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#retrieve-an-order rest API doesnt provide the Paypal transaction ID?

    The email is provided / retrievable, but here is the issue with that.. basically the user can checkout with 1 email and pay using paypal with another – so this information is invalid / not reliable.

    So my question in a nutshell, does the REST Api provide Paypal transaction ID and im missing it? (because it is stored in the database / on wp-admin) OR can this be added to the API easy?

    thanks,

    I have somewhat answered my own question, however it would still be useful to get PayPal transaction ID from API – so maybe developers might want to include this in future revisions of the API

    I can use: order_key reference, this is a unique order key per order (same as transaction ID) so yeah this is “resolved”
