Has anyone found ANY way to test ANY aspects of these Smart Payment Buttons?  The sample data doesn't show how things like what Options the user selected are sent to the web events.  It also lacks other key explanations or details. ... View more

I've also, just tried to find a solution for this.  I searched for over 2 hours with no solutions.  Firing ACTUAL subscription events, based on current users is apparently impossible.  This doesn't seem to be related to just Smart Payment Buttons but ALL transactions.  According to Paypal, we need to use their test data.  Which means, we can't support ANY features of paypal that are not covered in the Test Data.  This includes Smart Payments, and custom options for the various products.   This is REALLY bad, and REALLY frustrating.  I certainly share in the communities reactions to this.  Paypal makes it VERY hard.  It would be nice to have a button, wizard, or some type of interface that will send out events from actual accounts.  Sadly, they seem to be lacking in this.   As a result, we've already abandon the Buttons, but we're finding the generic subscription options no better.   It would be nice if Paypal offered any support.   ...

Fire an ACTUAL subscription event

How do I fire an ACTUAL (and NOT a simulated) event of a subscription.  I don't want a generic response.  I need the ACTUAL response of what paypal will send to me.  The API Sandbox documentation only gives TEST events and simulations of generic paypal events.     Also, the documentation does not address how to handle subscription options or other events.  The Test Events don't explain enough, and don't show all the features and thus are COMPLETELY useless.   I need a way to EASILY fire ACTUAL events that come from our current settings.    Thanks. ...

Same issue here.  Finding it with some pages on the site, and not others.  Surprisingly, we never do anything to the header differently. ... View more
