Set start date on recurring payments

[mwi812]

Hi,

how is it possible to set a custom start_date for recurring payments?

Based on IPN Handler ans subscribed by HTML Form (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr)  with hidden fields "_xclick-subscriptions".

I tried a hidden field with "start_date" and "subscr_date". Format as HH:MM:SS DD Mmm YY, YYYY PST and G:i:s M m, Y T with dates in future > 24h .... nothing work for me.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure you would need to use the APIs to create subscription profiles in order set a start date. If you're just creating buttons it's going to start it on the day you create it.

I´m a bit confused here, also in relation to this (older) topic:
