c# paypal cancel subscription server side

Question

My website users need to buy plans with paypal subscription. A use can switch between plans. In order for a user not to have duplicate subscriptions I need to be able to delete the old ones once a user is sign up for a new subscription.

Answer 1

If you're using PayPal Standard Subscriptions you won't be able to do this, unfortunately.

You will need to switch to the Express Checkout API with Recurring Payments. Then you can use the APIs to manage the profiles with these calls:

• GetRecurringPaymentsProfileDetails
• ManageRecurringPaymentsProfileStatus
• UpdateRecurringPaymentsProfile
