I am creating a subscription based website using PHP and I successfully managed to create recurring payment profile using Paypal Merchant SDK.

When I test the checkout in sandbox mode it returns to success url and I get IPN for recurring_payment_profile_created.

But I don't get any IPN for recurring_payment. Maybe I don't know when does Paypal process first payment after the profile is created, please let me know if that's the case.

Please share your experience with recurring payments, I searched already but couldn't find any related answers.

Thanks.

recurring_payment IPN will be received when you receive your first payment. The first payment date is based on the PROFILESTARTDATE of the profile that you set when you perform CreateRecurringPaymentsProfileAPI request.

  • I can't find any reference for PROFILESTARTDATE . Can you show me some example of PROFILESTARTDATE with CreateRecurringPaymentsProfileAPI request? – SuperAzeem Apr 02 '15 at 13:14
  • Did you check the documentation: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile_API_Operation_NVP/ – Vimalnath Apr 02 '15 at 14:04
