Hi, I have a question about PayPal IPN. I'm creating payment extension for paypal subscriptions, but I'm not sure where to catch the paypal IPN notifications, so when a new subscription notification for the next billing cycle from PayPal is send to my shop I can update the order. Can I do it inside the extension (couldn't find something like that in the docs) or should I use a normal Laravel controller for this task? But if I use Laravel controller, how to initialize the order object by ID, so I can update it?

There's no need to do it separately. Use the URL of the "checkout update" component and you will get the notification via the updatePush() method of your service provider.

One question: Do you create a new payment integration or are you using the Omnipay adapter which already supports recurring payments if the driver does?

No, I'm creating a new payment with a Laravel package I'm familiar with. I haven't worked with Omnipay yet.
