I'm trying to setup a subscription using paypal (sandbox) but am having a few problems. I think I just need some clarification on a couple things ...
1.) I have selected "Subscription" under paypal gateway and added the following parameters:
&email=$(Email)¤cy_code=USD&a3=79.00&p3=1&t3=Y&no_note=1&no_shipping=1&item_name=$(SubDivision)&first_name=$(FirstN)&last_name=$(LastN)
When I click register, I am sent off to Paypal but the subscription amount (a3) does not carry over and I am asked to enter an amount on the paypal screen (before paypal login). Do I also need to use the amount parameter?
2.) I have enabled IPN in my (sandbox) paypal business account and defined the ipn url as my dynamic reg page. However, payment goes through but completion events do not fire and user is not registered after successful payment. Do I need to define each subscription within paypal as well, or is this automatic through the parameters sent? (hope that made sense)
3.) I do not see any indication in paypal that the purchase is a subscription. Should this be indicated within PayPal? The transaction appears to me to be a straight purchase and not a subscription. I'm unfamiliar with what a subscription looks like in PayPal and I'm assuming it would indicate it somehow .. such as with a cancel button.
4.) What PayPal status is returned upon initial successful subscription payment? Completed(Standard), Completed(Subscription Signup), or Completed(Subscription Payment)? A little more detail on these status would be helpful.
I'm using 3.2 on 4.8.4 at powerdnn. I'm sure I'm just missing a small bit of info ... please help.
Thanks |
