Does Payflow Pro Recurring Billing support IPN?

Question

Does Payflow Pro Recurring Billing support IPN? I tried with DPRP(Direct Payment Recurring Payment) & it's sending me IPN message just fine.

But after lots of research as well, couldn't able to figure out a way to incorporate IPN for Payflow Pro Recurring Billing.

There is one feasible way, that I can see at this point of time, is the ”Inquiry” action to get the profile/payment specific detail. But for that, I have to run a cron, which’ll check the status/payment detail of the profile every time it runs, which I think will be cumbersome.

People, Can anyone please shade any insight into it?

PayPal confirms that there is no IPN service available for PayFlow pro Recurring Payment. As you already know the INQUIRY action is one option. The other option is to fetch the reports from PayPal manager periodically.

Nope, you can to do some crazy trickery to match up IPN calls to Payflow records... typical PayPal. – Devin Walker Jun 14 '18 at 23:35
