Subscription Cancellation

    I have GF creating user accounts and amending their roles to provide greater access and all of this happens nicely once they have input their payment details (with a recurring payment being setup behind the scenes). I can also see that should PayPal be unable to take payment the IPN will update our site. However, some questions on this:

    1) When the IPN notifies Wordpress what is the default behaviour? Is the user cancelled or perhaps their role demoted? Where is this configured?

    2) If the user wishes to cancel I can accomodate this with a user update form demoting their role. How does PayPal find out about this change so it knows to stop taking payments? Is it handled by the IPN? My understanding is that this is simply one-way. Perhaps this isn't automatic and we will need to manually cancel the recurring payment profile in PayPal?

    1) When an IPN cancellation notice is sent from PayPal to Gravity Forms, you can configure what Gravity does with the user. That is set on the User Registration feed (visible when you are using the PayPal add-on.) It says "Update user when subscription is cancelled" and you can set the new role there.

    2) The user will need to cancel the recurring billing with PayPal. That is actually how your site finds out about the cancellation in the first place. If you provide a form for your users, you can change their role that way, but they still need to cancel the billing with PayPal.

    I thought something didn't seem right... I have both Paypal Pro and User Registration addons and forms created for both but can't see the setting you describe.

    Can you be more specific, exactly where should it appear and what is the wording? A screen grab would be even more helpful.

    "If you provide a form for your users, you can change their role that way, but they still need to cancel the billing with PayPal."
    Can you tell me more about this form?
