Hi Guys,

You've been more than helpful getting me up and running with recurring payments and Paypal Pro through my test site, A+ to GF. Works like a dream. The IPN history shows payments coming through from yesterday 18th, but in the backend in Entries the payment dates still show as 16th/17th when I made the first recurring payment.

I assumed the payment date would change to the last payment made, so I'd know when payment is made what orders are to go out. I'm not sure if it's possible but hopefully one of you knows a fix or a way round to show something date/payment Specific in the WP backend.

Any help would be greatfully appreciated. You've helped me awesome so far and I do feel like I'm taking the piss as it is, just so you don't have to tell me haha.

Cheers Guys
Jamie

The date displayed in the entry is the date of the first payment. The last payment date is currently not displayed anywhere. I can agree with you that is a very useful piece of information to have. Let me do some research and try to come up with a hook that can be used to display the last payment date. I will keep you posted.

Hello Jamie,
I thought that the recurring payments were stored in the entry meta table, but they are not, so it will be a little trickier for us to display that information in other areas. However, I noticed that a new note is created for every new recurring payment (with the amount, date and transaction id). That might be good enough for you. If not, let me know what you had in mind.

Hi Alex,

Hope your well and thanks for keeping in touch. Ok what you have said seems to be what Im after mainly Amount and Date and Transaction, however I'm unable to see this in the backend under notes?

My idea was just an area where you can see the most up to date payments, however from what you said it sounds like where the 'new notes' are this would provide me with the correct information. Not sure if I cant see for looking too hard?

Many Thanks
Jamie

Hello Jamie,
The notes are supposed to be getting created. If they are not, then there is a problem somewhere. Let me do some troubleshooting on my end first to make sure there aren't any issues on our end. I will let you know how it goes.

Hello Jamie,
Everything seems to be working here. One possible issue is the IPN URL. PayPal has a limitation that does not allow the API to dynamically provide the IPN URL when creating the subscription. What this means is that you need to specify the IPN URL in your PayPal account.
Try doing the following:
1- Log in to your PayPal account.
2- Navigate to Profile -> Instant Payment Notification Preferences
3- Make sure IPN is turned ON and that the Notification URL is:
http://www.YOUR_DOMAIN.com/?page=gf_paypalpro_ipn

After the IPN is configured this way, your entry notes should start getting created. If not, let me know and I will take a closer look.
