I have not used Paypal for recurring payments - I did write a system
that integrated with Verisign's recurring payment system (now actually
owned by Paypal).
Zend had an article on Paypal integration (including recurring payments)
but they took it down. You can still find the article on archive.org's
"wayback machine":
The original URL was http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/tutorial-paypal.php

Hello All,
I've asked some questions similiar to this in the past .. but would like
to get additional
information and hopefully some real feedback from those who
have experiance with it.
We currently have a paypal merchant account that we use to collect
payments from customers with.
We are releasing a product that will offer a monthly subscription. I'd
like to use our existing paypal
account to handle the billing. I've looked into the subscription text on
paypal, and I understand it fine.
What I'm not sure about doing is this:
When a visitor decides to purchase our software (its web based) and
signs up for the account
I need to get their data into paypal. Now, once they finish the
transaction, I want to return them
to my software, and if they successfully completed the paypal signup I
will automagically create
their account.
I also want to be able to query paypal every month to make sure they
have paid, and if not, possibly
suspend their account.
So my question is: Does anyone have experiance using the paypal IPN (i
believe that is what its called),
or experiance with another merchant account that allows this type of
integreation?
Also, could you recommened other merchant accounts and include some
comparision against paypal?
Thanks!
