Get order id after Paypal Express Checkout

Question

I want an order Id (not Increment Id) and quote after redirecting back from PayPal to my store.

For this purpose I am using sales_order_place_after event. But this event does not return order Id but getting an quote properly.

So is there any other events which I can use to satisfied my requirement ?

Answer 1

Using the sales_order_place_after is the right idea in my opinion.

To get the order Id you can do:

$order = $observer->getOrder();
$orderId = $order->getEntityId();

To get the quote id from this order you can then do:

$quoteId = $order->getQuoteId();

If you need full details of the quote and assuming you're using Magento 1 you can then call:

$quote = Mage::getModel('sales/quote')->load($quoteId);
