In CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API Operation (NVP) no options for set IPN URL
How to track subscription?
NVP API CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile operation Support NOTIFYURL field?
On PayPal provide some information
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNSetup/#id089EG030E5Z
You can't configure IPN Url in CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile operation, you have to configure it in the business account you use.
In the account configuration there is an IPN section.

Is there an option in Paypal Masspay to get notifications about transactions like IPN response through API URL, and not from the Paypal account.
I'm working on implementation of PayPal recurring payments, but I have some doubts.
The steps to create a recurring payment profile are:
Call SetExpressCheckout (with L_BILLINGTYPE0=RecurringPayments)
Get the TOKEN
Call CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile with the token and the billing frequency
Receive the response with the ID of the active profile.
If I set the notify URL (PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NOTIFYURL) in SetExpressCheckout does PayPal IPN notify about recurring payment?
According to https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Merchant-services-Archive/Recurring-payments-IPN/td-p/350104?profile.language=en CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile does not accept the notify URL but SetExpressCheckout does!
The SEC call does indeed set your IPN. Remember, you're setting up everything with PayPal to process a payment (setting the stage, so to speak). So it makes sense that it, and it alone, would accept the IPN callback (I wouldn't want conflicting IPN URLs in the various calls afterwards)
I would still specify an IPN URL in your account just to be safe, but yes, if you provide an IPN callback you will get notifications sent to that callback.
i am using Paypal manager for the payment i successfully done with credit card payment with recurring payment profile from my website using PayPal manager. but now i want do recurring payment with express checkout using Paypal manager with recurring payment. i am able to do simple direct payment with express checkout using PayPal manager. i found some solution from google that we need to pass two variable
L_BILLINGAGREEMENTDESCRIPTION0 = "Your descriptor"
L_BILLINGTYPE0 = "RecurringPayments"
But i am not able to do recurring payment. I am not getting any error. but my payment have done simple payment not recurring.
Thanks in advance..
There are two things with Express Checkout. First you need to let know the whole process that you will also create some recurring payment profiles.
For that you set BillingType as RecurringPayments when you do doExpressCheckout request.
You will get the Token from paypal and later when user will be back on your site to confirm payment after signing in to Paypal you can use this token to create recurring payment profile the same way as you have done that with credit card.
So after confirming instead of sending doExpressCheckoutPayment you send createRecurringPaymentProfile request.
Of course you can also send doExpressCheckoutPayment if you want also to do some additional payment that is not recurring.
I'm trying to integrate PayPal Classic API NVP to our website but I'm having issues with the SetExpressCheckout API call.
I'm using the useraction=commit parameter for the payer to confirm the sale directly at PayPal.
My issue is after "Pay now" is clicked, PayPal redirects to the URL I send as RETURNURL but I don't see the transaction on the sandbox account or by using TransactionSearch.
These are the parameters I send for checkout:
METHOD=SetExpressCheckout
EMAIL=payerEmail
SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole
RETURNURL=myReturnUrl
CANCELURL=myCancelUrl
PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT=30.00
PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMAMT=30.00
PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CURRENCYCODE=USD
PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CUSTOM=myCustomId
PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION=Sale
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_QTY0=1
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT0=30.00
L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME0=myProduct
After payment, PayPal redirects to
myReturnUrl?token={Token}&PayerID={PayerId}
It's normal. The transaction is set, but you need to complete it using the DoExpressCheckoutPayment api operation.
More information and an example here: https://devtools-paypal.com/guide/expresscheckout/dotnet?success=true&token=EC-7BD474648D4932937&PayerID=WNW7LMW2UXQJG
After looking through Paypal docs for a solution for this circumstance, I came up blank. What I want is a way to have a shopping cart with a subscription (recurring payment) and an item purchase. Is there a method that would resolve this or would I have to do something custom ( and how would I go about that if I'm using Paypal standard buttons for cart / checkout ).
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can do this with Express Checkout Recurring Payments.
You would simply need to ensure you include an AMT in your SetExpressCheckout and DoExpressCheckoutPayment API calls.
A general Express Checkout checkout flow is based on three API calls; SetExpressCheckout, GetExpressCheckoutDetails and DoExpressCheckoutPayment.
SetExpressCheckout sets up the payment and returns a token
You redirect the buyer to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token=TOKEN-HERE, where TOKEN-HERE is the token you received earlier
After the buyer has agreed to the payment, he is returned back to your site.
You can call GetExpressCheckoutDetails and supply the token as a parameter to get the PAYERID of the buyer.
Call DoExpressCheckoutPayment with the token and PAYERID supplied to finalize the payment
If you wish to use Recurring Payments, you would use the following flow:
1. Call SetExpressCheckout and set BILLINGTYPE to 'RecurringPayments' and set 'AMT' to 0 OR to any amount you wish to charge the buyer immediately. .
2. Retrieve the token from the API response for SetExpressCheckout
3. Call DoExpressCheckoutPayment and set the 'AMT' to the amount you'd like to charge immediately.
4. Call CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile and supply the token, specify all other required parameters (billingfrequency, among others).
(Optional) 5. Use UpdateRecurringPaymentsProfile if you wish to update your recurring payments profile..
