Detecting paypal subscription cancel on login asp.net

Question

I am building an asp.net web app that involves paypal subscriptions. I need to check if the user has cancelled on login is this possible and if so how? I have seen other posts on this subject but my situation is different since I'll be checking on login. I was thinking maybe I can do a batch dump of data from paypal nightly and check against that to set a flag on the users that cancelled. Not sure what the best way to do this is..

Answer 1

If you want to check whether the user has accepted or cancelled the agreement after logging to the PayPal then yes you can check this by using the Express Checkout Token . You need to call GetExpressCheckoutDetails API on the Token after the buyer log in to the PayPal account and look for the variable BILLINGAGREEMENTACCEPTEDSTATUS in the response .

BILLINGAGREEMENTACCEPTEDSTATUS=0 means buyer has not accepted the agreement or clicked on cancel after logging to the PayPal account .

BILLINGAGREEMENTACCEPTEDSTATUS=1 , means by has clicked on the "agree and continue" after logging to the PayPal .

I have included some sample response .
