How to check if PayPal subscription is still on trial period

Question

I'm using GetRecurringPaymentsProfileDetails endpoint of the PayPal classic API to retrieve information about the subscription. From the data, I get back from that endpoint, how do I determine if the customer is still on his initial trial period and not yet on the regular billing period?

Answer 1

如果TRIALTOTALBILLINGCYCLES > NUMCYCLESCOMPLETED ，即如果您完成的周期少于试用周期，则该帐户处于试用状态。

Answer 2

It's been a while since I worked with that API, but I think that if they are on trial you should be able to tell by looking at PROFILESTARTDATE . If it's in the future it should be on trial still.

Another option could be NUMCYLESCOMPLETED . I don't think a trial counts as a full cycle. https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/api/merchant/GetRecurringPaymentsProfileDetails_API_Operation_NVP/
