Hello everyone,
I’m integrating PayPal Subscriptions into my application, and I want to give users the option to enable or disable auto-renewal during the subscription purchase process.
Here’s my scenario:
- I have subscription plans for 1 month, 2 months, and 6 months.
- Users pay the full amount upfront for the selected subscription period.
- During the purchase, users can choose to enable or disable auto-renewal via a toggle option.
- If auto-renewal is enabled, the subscription should automatically renew at the end of the subscription period.
- If auto-renewal is disabled, the subscription should not renew after the selected period expires.
I am using the PayPal REST API to create the plans and subscriptions.
My questions are:
- How can I configure the total_cycles or auto_bill_outstanding settings based on the user’s selection?
- If a user disables auto-renewal at the start, can they later enable it during the active subscription period? If so, how can this be done via the API?
- Would it be appropriate to use suspend or cancel the subscription for handling auto-renewal toggle changes, or is there a better approach?
Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated!
Thank you.
