How to Cancel Paypal Subscription?

Question

I finally figured out how to implement PayPal Recurring Billing using this tutorial. http://railscasts.com/episodes/289-paypal-recurring-billing

Everything works, But how does one cancel the subscription....

Below is all of the code I've written, and I've also added some comments/questions

ERROR

app/controllers/subscriptions_controller.rb:27:in `show'

Couldn't find Subscription with id=cancel_account

Please help new to rails. :)

CONTROLLER

class SubscriptionsController < ApplicationController

  def new
    plan = Plan.find(params[:plan_id])
    @subscription = plan.subscriptions.build
    @subscription.user_id = current_user.id
    if params[:PayerID]
      @subscription.paypal_customer_token = params[:PayerID]
      @subscription.paypal_payment_token = params[:token]
      @subscription.email = @subscription.paypal.checkout_details.email
    end
  end

  def create
    @subscription = Subscription.new(params[:subscription])
    if @subscription.save_with_payment
      redirect_to @subscription, :notice => "Thank you for subscribing!"
    else
      render :new
    end
  end

  def destroy
    @subscription = current_user.subscription
    @previous_plan = @subscription.plan

    if @subscription.cancel_recurring
      flash[:success] = 'Subscription Canceled.'
    end
    redirect_to some_path
  end

  def paypal_checkout
    plan = Plan.find(params[:plan_id])
    subscription = plan.subscriptions.build
    redirect_to subscription.paypal.checkout_url(
      return_url: new_subscription_url(:plan_id => plan.id),
      cancel_url: root_url
    )
  end

end

<%= form_for @subscription do |f| %>

ROUTES

App::Application.routes.draw do

  get 'paypal/checkout', to: 'subscriptions#paypal_checkout'

end

Answer 1

To destroy a users paypal subscription you should create a destroy action in your subscription model.

Subscription_controller.rb

  def destroy
    @subscription = current_user.subscription
    @previous_plan = @subscription.plan

    if @subscription.cancel_recurring
      flash[:success] = 'Subscription Canceled.'
    end
    redirect_to some_path
  end

In your model get the current user and cancel their subscription. If the user is subscribed monthly but canceled within 2days out of the 30 days, their account subscription should be valid until the at_end_date period(just a heads up).

  def cancel_recurring
    response = ppr.cancel_subscription(at_date_end: true) #Needs a end period field in
    self.current_date_end_at = Time.at(response.current_date_end)
    self.plan_id = plan.id
    self.status = "canceled"
    return self.save
  end

Routes.rb

resources :subscriptions do
 collection do
   delete :cancel_account
 end
end

In your view you would iterate through the plans like so

<% @plans.each do |plan| %>
  <%= link_to "Cancel Account", cancel_account_subscriptions_path(@subscription, plan_id: plan.id), method: :delete %>
<% end %>
