The issue here is not knowing when Paypal payments have failed.
If payment status is unpaid then we were assuming the Paypal payment has failed and redirect them back to checkout. Due to the fact there's a delay for a successful payment to transition to paid, our code is currently redirecting back to the checkout with Paypal payment failed error (wrongly).
I'll add to this by saying that we do use Webhooks later on in the process fullfil the actual order. The webhook we listen to is checkout session completed. While this is taking place we have them wait on an order processing page.

You should listen to the webhook endpoint:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/types#event_types-checkout.session.completed
In order to be safe

Yep, we're using this.
How do we detect a Paypal payment failed on a checkout session?
untold shale
Sure, would you like the JSON body of one or something else?

Thanks for sharing, checking..
So you should listen to the event payment_intent.payment_failed
IN order to detect a Paypal failure
For the failure Checkout, you had this event evt_3RMBKXCPXVjkRWwq1Luk8QkH for example

Ok but there's no information about which checkout_session that payment intent is tied to in those events.
On checkout session creation we store the checkout session ID. We can't store the payment_intent ID because there isn't one at the beginning. As far as I'm aware a payment_intent isn't attached to our checkout_session until it's complete.
e.g I can query the checkout session anywhere along the process and the payment_intent will be null. Until it completes... then it will be there.

Ok but there's no information about which checkout_session that payment intent is tied to in those events.
You can fetch the related Checkout Session via this API call:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/list#list_checkout_sessions-payment_intent
Aka get Checkout Session by PaymentIntent Id

Ok I will give that a go, thank you. Will I be able to come back to this thread if I find further problems within a couple of hours or will I need to start a new one?
