Hello Kenneth,

What is "the paypal success call comes"? - A confirmation email?

    Hello Kenneth, 

    The first, but most likely both situations.

  I haven't done the first, but I have done the second.  We do it the other way around from what you are describing.  When a person subscribes, we send them to paypal for payment.  When the paypal success call comes through, we mark them subscribed to whatever issues they have paid for.  From there we don't have to ask paypal, we just query our own database on each resource access attempt.

      Are you talking about automatic monthly renewals, or cases where a person might subscribe for the year and you just want to know at any given moment if they've subscribed?

        Hello, 

        I'm using paypal to take CC payments from clients. 

        One of our products, is subscription based, and I need to be able to 
        check if the client has paid for the month. And if not, I'd like to suspend 
        access. 

        Can this be done w/paypal. 

        If not, what type of E-Commerce or Merchant account allows that? 

        Currently, I just have a link directly to paypal, and once they pay, I create the account. 

        I'd like to automate this process, be able to query the account status, and even 
        send out reoccuring billing/invoices. 

        Any ideas/experiances? 

        Thanks! 

        - Ben
