Was wondering if any one has a bit of code for paypal subscriptions via IPN? Looking for something that would set up a yearly subscription, any surgestions? Code snippets or articles on this?
It's a good idea to test your script before you go live: developer.paypal.com - the "Sandbox" is a testing zone where all accounts and money amounts and even emails are fake, but it works just like the real site.
People, including me, will recommend that you use IPN to record transactions on your end of the system. Use PDT only to give users a message upon returning to your site whether their transaction was good or not.
Use: https://www.paypaltech.com/PDTGen/ if you want a PDT template. (Remember, don't rely on this to store transaction data on your own server! Use IPN instead.)
If you would like, I have experience doing this, and will be happy to implement one for you for a good, reasonable price.
thanks mholt, I could code it myself, I'm just looking around to see what existing code for managing subscriptions is available to use before I go and reinvent the wheel myself
