Hi everyone,

I've struggled for a couple of weeks to make recurring payments using Paypal Payments Pro without success. I've been able to make one-time payments without problems, but whenever I try recurring I'm getting lots of errors and recurring payment is never received.

I've been checking wiki, jira and books but information about Pro supporting this kinds of payment is contradictory.

In the main payment processor page https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/PayPal+Website+Payments+Pro+and+Express+Configuration, it says it's supported but you need "Pro recurring add on" but I've not found it mentioned elsewhere. Google brings just this very same reference. I've checked on the add ons page of my civicrm installation without success also.

In other threads it says it's broken for Pro in the current version, but it should be working on 4.5. I've even read it works for live accounts but not for sandboxed ones. I applied some patches from github without success.

Any help clarifying what is the current status of recurring payments from paypal pro would be greatly appreciated. Right now it's being a blocker for our non-profit development.

Thanks in advance,
César
