PayPal Subscription

[asgsoft]

Hi

Is there any free scripts that use paypal subscription around?

if not are there any tutorials that do so with use of IPN?

Thanks

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">  
   <p>
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick-subscriptions">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="<?php echo $desc; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP" />
<input type="hidden" name="a1" value="<?php echo $today; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="p1" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="t1" value="M">
<input type="hidden" name="a3" value="<?php echo $monthly; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="M">
<input type="hidden" name="src" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="sra" value="1">
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="Checkout Now" />
</p>
</form>

something like that,

$desc is the predefined varible for description
$today is how much they are paying today
$month is how much they pay each month

It should work, if you are use to paypal then you will be able to work out how to implement it into ipn etc

but how do I detect if that month's subscription has been paid? also how do i cancel subscriptions?

You could set up IPN (Instant Payment Notification i think) at Paypal and then Paypal would send you notices whenever something happened. For example, if a user signed up, canceled, paid their monthly payment and so on, you would get a notification. If you keep track of them in DB it's easier. I just coded a paypal subscription website so if you have more questions, go for it.
