The current transaction id that is placed in the database is entirely unusable (unless I'm out of the loop). I can't seem to correlate it to the actual transaction in my paypal at all.
Take for example this transaction with this ID:
Searching for this in the PayPal dashboard finds only this $0.00 USD transaction and not the actual $84.96 USD transaction that it should.
With the following code changes we find the actual transaction id for the actual payment, notice a different format:
Using this ID in the search actually results in finding the transaction, and can be directly linked with https://www.paypal.com/activity/payment/{TransactionId}
Unless I'm missing something, this seems like the much more useful ID to be storing and tracking
