PayPal integration on VirtueMart 4 (Joomla 4.4) – Order status not updating afte

[rosydam]

Hello VirtueMart community,

I'm currently working on an online store with Joomla 4.4 and VirtueMart 4.2, and I've run into an issue with the PayPal payment integration.

The PayPal Smart Buttons are displayed correctly on checkout.

Payment is processed successfully on the PayPal side (funds are captured).

However, back in VirtueMart, the order remains stuck in "Pending" instead of moving to "Confirmed" automatically.

IPN/notification is enabled in PayPal, but it seems like VirtueMart isn't receiving or validating it properly.

Server firewall is not blocking callbacks (already tested).

Has anyone here managed to configure PayPal on VM4 so that the order status updates in real time?
Do I need to adjust the plugin settings (sandbox vs. live), or is there a specific requirement for IPN with Joomla 4?

Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
