Does Silent Post work in Payflow Pro Recurring Payments too? How will I know if the payment is successful or not for each recurring Payment Transaction.
For Payflow recurring billing Silent Post does not work.
Silent post is called only when hosted page is invoked.
For manually knowing the status of each recurring payment transaction you can use Inquiry API call.
If you are using PayPal API, you can use IPN.

Quick question about the notify_url HTML variable (from PayPal Payments Standard). I am specifying the URL as a variable that is sent to PayPal via a redirect URL for a recurring payment setup (all is working as expected when setting up the recurring payment).
But I am wondering, when PayPal goes to actually process a payment in the future (actual recurring payment), will it use the same URL for the IPN notification that was used during the recurring payment setup?
I have multiple IPN scripts, one for regular payments and one for recurring payments - I want to be sure that each future recurring payment uses a specific IPN script.
Cheers!
First, for the sake of terminology, if you're using HTML buttons then you're using Standard Subscriptions, not Recurring Payments. Technically, they're the same thing, but Recurring Payments is API based and IPN data is different for Standard Subscriptions vs. Recurring Payments. Just keep that in mind when searching for information about the two.
As for the IPN's, unfortunately, it will not continue to use that same URL. You'll need to make sure that IPN is configured in the PayPal account profile in order for future transactions related to the profile to trigger IPN's.
This goes for both Standard Subscriptions and Recurring Payments API transactions.
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 have a doubt regarding how to make recurring payments with Paypal Payment Pro(Direct Payment).Which API I should call first DoDirectPayment API OR CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API for making payment.Will calling CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API alone will make payment? I'm getting confused.

For recurring payments based on credit card data ('DPRP'), you can immediately call CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile and the recurring payment will be created immediately.
CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile will create the recurring payment and ensure it's billed on the period you told it to in the request.
I am trying to make recurring payment work with PAYPAL ADVANCED
My script works in case of SALE transactions but there are issues when i try to create recurring profile.

I searched for documentation on recurring payment with paypal advanced but every where i found details about payflow pro. With no information about recurring payment with paypal advanced its not easy to make things work.
Any idea about what is wrong with my post data?.
I posted my query on paypal.com/mts a week back but have no reply.
NOTE: I have subscribed to paypal advanced and paypal recurring payment.
With paypal advanced the transactions are completed on the client website itself and user is never taken to paypal site. Yes it uses iframe for the purpose.
It works for SALE type transaction but not in case of recurring payment.
Payments Pro and Advanced don't support the Recurring Payment API calls. You would be using the Recurring Billing API calls through Payflow. The new Advanced and Pro accounts use Payflow Pro or Link.
Are you setting a billing type in the Secure Token call?
What is the ticket number you submitted? I'd to look up the account to see if the account is setup to use Recurring Billing and was created correctly.
Also, Advanced accounts shouldn't be using the Recurring Billing API calls. It is possible to create Recurring Billing profiles with an Advanced account but they have to be done through the PayPal Manager site.
I have some problems with integration of Recurring Payments with PayPal.
I developed Recurring Payments via Direct Payment with "Payment Pro" API.
It works fine on "Sandbox" environment but when we switch to "Live" we get error "DPRP is not enabled for this merchant".
Is PayPal doesn't support "Payment Pro" API?
If PayPal still supports "Payment Pro" API, please tell me which features must be enabled in merchant account.
As the error says, it's not enabled for your account. You will need to sign up for PayPal Website Payments Pro and request them to add the Direct Recurring Payments product to your account.
