paypal sometimes broken since 3.96.0

General information

• SDK version: 3.96.1
• Environment: Sandbox + Production
• Browser and OS Any

Issue description

When using version 3.96.0+, occasionally the Paypal onShippingChange handler will not include paymentId in the paypal data, which is required for using https://braintree.github.io/braintree-web/current/PayPalCheckout.html#updatePayment (and other endpoints as well). I can't determine the scenario that produces this result on production, but on my development instance I can replicate it.

Basically renders the paypal widget useless as a customer can't update shipping/complete a payment without a paymentId. The manifestation of this bug for me is that every shipping address looks undeliverable from paypal's standpoint, as the callback I send back to braintree using the upddatePayment methods results in an error that the paymentId is missing. Looking into the paypal data argument provided to the from braintree to the client in the onShippingChange handler, I can see that paymentId is indeed null.

Please advise, in my opinion this is a fairly serious bug as it prevents checkout!

Hey @719media, thanks for the report. I can reproduce this on my own test site. We'll take a look at this.

We are running into this issue too - our paypal transactions through braintree are failing

@719media & @avisra , this issue has been resolved. Since the issue was in the PayPal backend, there shouldn't be a need to update the version.

Let us know if you are still running into any issues.
