Our finance department identified some PayPal payments, that are not represented in our database (and thus also not in our third-party software). It seems that the payment notifications (IPN) sent by PayPal just slipped through. Usually, the handler either updates the status of a data set (in case of a one-time payment and the initial payment subscription) or by creating a child data set (in case of a recurring payment). If an IPN can't be handled, it is written to the logs. For these missing cases, there is neither a data set nor a log entry.
PayPal only provides an IPN history for 28 days, so we can't look it up for most of the cases. I found a monthly donation, for which the IPN handling fails regularly. The content of the most recent IPN call can be found in ZeDa. I shared it with all FUN team members.
The first occurrence dates back to fall 2016, which is around the launch of the rewritten donation application.
