infinite subscriptions (subscription with infinite plan)

[fajnalowiec]

Hi, so the quesion is: "how to properly create infinite subscription"? By infinite, I mean without showing strange numbers like "998 installments":

The first line "$100 billed every 3 months" is my description and it's ok. The next two lines are build automatically based on the billing cycles connected with the plan. The 2nd billing cycle should be infinite. I dont want to show the user strange numbers like 998. If it's infinite it should be written: "infinite (with anytime cancel option)" or smth which makes more sense and does not look strange.

There's also bug in your api:

Total cycles Maximum value is 998, not 999. Probably validation comparison error.

Let me know please, how I should handle this scenario.

I've the same problem. Any idea?

[dario_persia · Accepted solution]

Try to use "auto_renewal = true".

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/#subscriptions

"Indicates whether the subscription auto-renews after the billing cycles complete."

Hope this is usefull.
