transaction.completed

Occurs when a transaction is completed. Its status field changes to completed.

Transactions move to completed after they're paid. After a transaction is paid, Paddle starts completed transaction processing. This involves:

Logging details of the successful payment against transaction.payments[].
Adding information about fees, earnings, and totals for payouts to the transaction entity.
For automatically-collected transactions, creating a subscription for any recurring items and adding the related subscription_id to the transaction entity.
For automatically-collected transactions, adding an invoice_number and invoice_id to the transaction entity.

transaction.updated occurs as Paddle updates a paid transaction.

When all processing is completed, a transaction is marked as completed and transaction.completed occurs.
