Is plugin suitable for Paypal recurring subscription payments?

    Hi,

    This plugin looks great and I am looking forward to using it.

    But before I get started learning it, I thought I would just ask if it is suited to a membership type website, where I have set up a Paypal recurring subscription type payment.

    The plugin looks like it can do anything because you have created very nice API and hooks, and of course the website dev needs to write code for a particular use case.

    But I wonder if for example I have a recurring yearly payment and a user has already paid a year ago, and a new renewal payment arrives from Paypal via IPN, will the plugin be able to associate the payment with the same user that also paid a year ago, etc.

    Or of course maybe that is something i need to handle in code.

    If you could let me know though that it is possible one way or another that would be great.

    Thanks.

    If the original subscription profile had some sort of a reference included with it (for example, the Recurring Payments API allows you to include an invoice ID for reference with a profile) then that value will be included with all IPNs, so then you could easily relate to your existing data.

    If the original profile was not setup with that sort of value, though, then you would need to try and relate based on email address name, or anything that might work for you. Depending on the details it may or may not be something that works well for you with older profiles.

    With any new profiles, though, just make sure to include such an ID value with it and you’ll be good to go in the future.

    Hope that helps!

    Hi,

    I will certainly do so, but I would like to wait until I have had a chance to use it.

    Obviously the support is great ?? and I am sure the plugin is great as well, but I would prefer to leave an informed review after I have learned the plugin…
