I getting this IPN notify from Paypal when I create recurring profile:
{"payment_cycle":"Daily","txn_type":"recurring_payment_profile_created","last_name":"buyer","initial_payment_status":"Completed","next_payment_date":"03:00:00 Aug 12, 2015 PDT", ...
According to next_payment_date, I should get another payment notify in last few hours, but not.
Have I miss something? or need manual to accept payment?
Note: I do in Sandbox.

I am setting up a 1 month Standard Paypal subscription with IPN. I haven't found any documentation that explains when a payment is made next month, if the payment first failed, but was than successful. This is all very confusing so let's take an example:
A payment is completed on 10.1.2018. Next month on 10.2.2018, payment fails. Paypal reattempts payment after 5 days, thats on 15.2.2018. That payment is successful.
Next month, another payment will take place, but I am not sure when. Will the next payment be made on 15.3.2018 (1 month after the last successful payment) or 10.3.2018 (1 month after the initial failed payment)?
Next month, another payment will take place, but I am not sure when.
Will the next payment be made on 15.3.2018 (1 month after the last

payment)?
Payment will take place at 10.03.2018
Reattempt example from Paypal
Subscription terms:
A regular subscription for $20.00 USD a month, for one year
Bob signs up for the subscription on Feb. 12.
On Mar. 12, PayPal attempts to collect Bob's recurring $20.00 payment for March, and the payment succeeds.
On Apr. 12, PayPal attempts to collect Bob's recurring $20.00 payment, but the payment fails because of a temporary limit placed on Bob's PayPal account.
On Apr. 15, PayPal reattempts to collect Bob's recurring $20.00 payment for April, but the payment fails again because the temporary limit remains on Bob's PayPal account.
On Apr. 18, Bob takes action on his PayPal account, and PayPal lifts the temporary limit.
On Apr. 20, PayPal reattempts to collect Bob's recurring $20.00 payment for April, and the payment succeeds.
On May 12, PayPal attempts to collect Bob's recurring $20.00 payment for May, and the payment succeeds.
Do the web-hook events catch the payments done through the recurring payment setup ?
Will the 'Payment sale completed' event be fired when a recurring payment is successfully completed at the start of a month ?
PayPal will inform you only in two cases - when create a recurring payment and when the user canceled this recurring. Recurring transactions will occur as you set in the parameters with which you create this recurring profile.
I recommended use a paypal express checkout and method CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile. In this case the recurring payment is created fast and paypal return the result immediately. Other way is to post parameters with standard html form, and check IPN result
I am currently working on a project using PayPal. When I made a transaction, the payment status in the IPN received was 'Pending' and reason was Payment review. I found out that it will take 24 hours for the review process. So I want know if I will get an IPN when the review process is over?
You should get an IPN notification when the transaction changes status. For example, PayPal sends you an IPN notifying you of a pending payment. PayPal later sends you a second IPN telling you that the payment has completed.
Because of security reasons you may get the first IPN with payment status pending But when the payment review is over You will get another IPN with payment status as completed.You can can transfer your stuffs then.The payment review will take maximum 24 hours.
I am integrating Recurring Payments Button of PayPal Payments Standard. I want it to work so that when customer returns to my website, he sees appropriate message: "Thank you! You subscription id is: ..."
I have configured both PDT and IPN.
If I pass some trial price, both PDT and IPN work perfectly.
But if I pass 0 as trial price, then IPN works as expected, but PDT does not pass any variables. Customer is redirected back automatically, but neither GET nor POST parameters are passed. So I do not know his subscription ID and cannot display it until IPN message has arrived.
How can this be solved?
I had one another question: PDT with Recurring Payments when trial price is 0.
Based on Andrew Angell's advice I started to use Express Checkout.
It seems that Express Checkout does not have any regional restictions compared to PayPal Payments Standard.
I've created a recurring payments profile on Paypal setting an initial payment.
When I receive the IPN, the txn_id is the same for both the initial payment and the recurring payment. I would like to know if there's a way of differentiating between them.
I've noticed that when I receive the recurring payment, there's this variable "period_type= Regular". This doesn't appear in the initial payment IPN. Is this a good way to make the distinction?
Thanks
I think you might be getting confused with what you're getting in the IPN's.
When the profile is first created, you'll get an IPN with the profile ID of the profile that was just created, and you would only get a transaction ID if you included the original amount to be charged. The transaction ID here is only for that original amount. If you didn't have that all you would get is the profile ID.
If your recurring payments are scheduled to start on the same day as well you will get an additional IPN for the recurring payment and that will have its own transaction ID.
