Recurring Payments / Subscription Payments with PayPal

[coraldynamics]

Hello all, after searching thru the forums and thru the contributions, I still cannot locate a module or add-on contribution to allow subscription payments to be setup by the OSCommerce shopping cart checkout.

 

I found a couple of instances where you modify a file called /catalog/checkout_paypalipn.php - however I cannot locate the contribution that contains that file.

 

Is there such an animal that will allow paypal subscription payments to be handled via the shopping cart checkout process?

 

Thanks in advance!

Update: I have installed Paypal_Shopping_Cart_IPN 3.1.5 and all seems to be working like that contribution should. Now then, can anyone use that as a building block for the payment to be a subscription instead of a one time transaction?

 

At worse case scenario I can provide a button to the buyer after the initial 30 days or send an invoice each month. I would rather have it automated though if at all possible.

 

Thank you

Steve
