On recurring paypal payment, what happens when CC expires?
Will it send IPN notification?
Will it send email to seller and buyer?
Will it be stopped till CC is not updated and continues when it get updated?
what exactly will happen, many thing is dependent on payment on sites.
When a credit card is going to expire the buyer needs to update their billing information. They buyer will get an e-mail from PayPal saying it is going to expire and asks the user to update their billing information.
If the buyer does not update their billing details the payment will probably fail. The reason it may not fail is because they may have money in their PayPal account or another funding source. And IPN post would be sent for the failed payment.
If the buyer does update their credit or debit card information before the Recurring Profile bills you should receive the payment successfully.

On our website we have option to pay using PayPal. At the time of signup our sytem creates recurring profile in users PayPal account and then till the account continue we receive recurring Payments.
On every successful payment PayPal send us the notifications with transaction details and we updates our system.
Sometimes our system miss the IPN notifications due to outage and as a result our system goes out of sync and does not updates the payments.
I would like to know do we have any PayPal API which we can call to get the transaction details of missing IPN notifications?
How to handle these transactions which are not updated in our system and IPN we ave missed?
I am trying to test PayPal payments that are authorised at a later date, examples being Pay on Delivery or a Bank Transfer.
I have created a new sandbox account with no credit/debit cards and £0 in the PayPal balance but when I come to make a payment I have to add a card.
I have set up a bank account and agreed the mandate so I must have something set up wrong somewhere because these type of payments happen in LIVE and we have an issue with the IPN message that comes X number of days later once the payment has cleared so I am trying to reproduce this to investigate.
Have you tried using the IPN Tester? (here after you log into your Sandbox account) https://developer.paypal.com/developer/ipnSimulator/ .
All sorts of conditions that you can test your 'listener' process against there.
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.
I've got a question on Paypal's IPN.
After creating subscription profile (recurring payment profile), the confirmation of type 'recurring_payment_profile_created' is received on IPN.
After proceeding payment, the confirmation of type 'recurring_payment' is received on IPN.
The question is how should I identify that the payment (recurring_payment) belongs to the unique(specific) profile.
Thanks.
recurring_payment_id. This will be a recurring payment profile ID in the form of I-xxxxxxxx.
This should be included in all recurring payment IPN posts.
I have stuck into the problem of related to transfer amount back to credit card from paypal when user cancel his/her transaction. I don't want to use paypal refund feature in our application. My client requires to send back amount at the same time when user cancel his/her transaction.
Can anyone guide me to complete this feature or is there any API to solve such type of feature.
Thanks in advance.

How PayPal Refunds
You don't want to use PayPal's refund feature, but you want to send money back to the buyer? This is called a refund. I am sure you are mistaking how PayPal refunds money. If the user pays with a credit card, they are refunded to their credit card. If they pay with a bank account or PayPal account, they are refunded to their PayPal account.
API calls that refund buyers
DoNonReferencedCredit would refund to a credit card you specify, everytime, and you do not need a transaction ID.
In a scenario where the buyer no longer has a card that was
associated with a transaction, or the time allotted for a refund in
PayPal has passed, you would want to use the DoNonReferencedCredit
API.
RefundTransaction would refund the funding source as described in the "How PayPal Refunds" paragraph.
If your main concern is to issue a refund, via API, you have a transaction ID (you say a payment has been completed so you should have a transaction ID), AND PayPal's refund time has not passed, you should use the RefundTransaction API.
You might be able to use something like DoNonReferencedCredit from the paypal API - but I'm not 100% sure on that.
