MADMAN32395 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Just now, Brian Khan said: Can you please detail what you did to get recurring PayPal payments to work with Commerce in IP4? I'm new to IP4 so I want to make sure I get this right the first time. Thanks. i clicked enable for the api access i needed. then I believe they asked what kind of business I was or what kind of transactions I was processing . not much longer after that I was greenlighted.

When you say you were greenlighted, did you apply for NVP/SOAP API and use those credentials for recurring?

This is what is enabled on my account. I dont think i had to do any of the NVP or SOAP. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0mBb9QuGv84VDNGbFNGLVlLek0/view?usp=drivesdk I did use a REST api app. and these are the live app settings I have setup. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0mBb9QuGv84RWZjUkkzOFE1ZUk/view?usp=drivesdk
Brian K. Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Thanks madman, will give it a try soon and report back.

tekguru Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I just wish I could get PayPal to enable the Future Payment option, nobody at their end seems to know how to get it enabled.
tekguru Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I'm now giving up completely on getting this enabled with PayPal as the latest I have had from one of the supervisors is: Quote Hi good morning Daron, my name is David and I'm one of the supervisors within the Product and Site Support team. I understand you are trying to enable future payments within an app. I can see you have been backwards and forwards with us and MTS and you have had conflicting information. I would like to apologise for the inconvenience. As we are in customer services we don't have much information on future payments as in what the product is and how you go about getting the feature enabled. I have contacted our MTS team and they have stated although they don't deal the feature themselves they do know a little about it. What they have said is you need to be account managed to have this enabled which means only large merchants are using the service. When I have read the developer site it doesn't mention you have to be eligible for the product so I can understand the confusion. I would personally recommend going to the forum http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/paypal?sort=frequent which has other developers on there and you can ask a question. The developers will get back to you. Although there is lots of information on future payments on the developer network, there isn't anywhere which states how to enable the product which is terrible. I have passed this feedback on and hopefully our developers will get this updated. For now though please raise a question on the forum and I'm hopeful this will get answered for you. Thanks for your time and apologies for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you require any further assistance. Yours sincerely, David PayPal I've gone back and told them I've given up on the idea, it's just too painful a process and I've got better things to waste my time with!
Management Lindy Posted December 7, 2015 Management Posted December 7, 2015 IPS4 (Commerce) will support PayPal Billing Agreements roughly in January or February.
tekguru Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Very good news, thanks @Lindy, that is assuming that does mean repeat payment of Subscriptions?

Any workarounds in the meantime, to keep our customer base from shrinking due to lack of auto-renewal? Understand, IPS did a great disservice to its users with membership-based communities, very poor communication on this subject which is quite literally taking money out of my family's bank account until Jan/Feb (if that ends up being correct) and will take a while to build back up again AFTER the fix.
Jessica Mason Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 I am currently setting up my membership and I have read this entire thread in an effort to untangle everything and figure out what I should do. My membership is premium and members will have to select either a monthly or yearly recurring plan option for access. I have a Paypal Business account, but from what I'm reading, Stripe might be easier to setup. For $37/year I can have an SSL certificate or I can get Paypal Payments Pro for $30/month. Are these my only two options right now? I just want to get my facts straight before I invest in any solutions.
tekguru Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 That is what my investigations turned up. Others seem to have more luck with PayPal.
Robert Lunte Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Jason, For Stripe, you have to purchase an SSL from IPB. I think it is something like $200+?
tekguru Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 I thought you could use any SSL cert? Unless you are IPS hosted.
Ahmad E. Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 1 hour ago, tekguru said: I thought you could use any SSL cert? Unless you are IPS hosted. Of course you can if self-host it!
Jessica Mason Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 I realized that my hosting provider gives me 1 free SSL with my hosting package. So I will be setting up Stripe. Additionally, I contacted support and this is the response they gave me: "Hello, with IPS4 currently, Stripe would be our suggestion, and you can purchase an SSL cert from any provider, it's not specific on who you purchase this from though, paypal payments pro is another option, and it does require SSL also."
JohnDar Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Any updates on this situation? Does Commerce now support PayPal billing agreements?
ᴡᴅツ Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 @Lindy for users on 3.x upgrading to 4.x, what will happen to existing Paypal subscriptions? Is this issue finally resolved?

They will continue to work on the old subscriptions if they are active, any new purchase agreements will use the new billing agreements method.
OD Admin Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 is it right to say the old recurring payments from 3.x will work but do not create any invoices in IPS 4.

If you convert the old subscriptions app to nexus while on 3.4.x, then upgrade to IPS4, they will then be in the new commerce app, and function properly.
