When is payment made for recurring payment?

[tadatoshi]

Hi,

For PayPal recurring payment, when is a payment made?
Is it a beginning of the billing cycle (e.g. a month) or the end of
the cycle?
(e.g. If a recurring payment is created today, is a payment for the
next one month is made today or one month later?)

Is there a way to specify which date in each month to have a payment
made?

Thank you.

In my experience with the payments standard integration the payment is
at the beginning of the cycle. There may be an option to change that,
but I am not aware of it.

I do not believe you can specify the date of the payment, but I could
be wrong. Usually what happens is the subscription is created the day
the user signs up, and then the first payment happens shortly
afterward. Upon reaching the next_payment_date a recurring payment is
done.

You'll get two IPN messages on signup: subscr_signup followed by a
subscr_payment. I believe that after the first payment the
subsequent payments will be recurring_payment transactions, but
correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you, dar.

Your explanation clarifies many things that I observed and that I
couldn't quite understand.

Sincerely,
