My biggest bitch about paypal and subscriptions?

They have a documented event for the end of a subscription (EOT) THAT DOESN'T EVER GET SENT! We had some unpaying subscribers hanging around for a few weeks before we noticed the money coming in didn't match our active subscribers. So now we have a nice little cron job cleaning up expired subscriptions.

Don't get me started on the quality or lack thereof of Paypal and their systems.

Actually, Aria SubscriptionsPlus for PayPal lets you manage discounts, etc. with the customer service tools.

Glad you think Chargify is the right path, love to hear what flexibility you want that we cannot give.

@dh I haven't looked over the product in 3 months or so, but there was some issue at the time that we felt we could do better in our own code we layed on top of paypal api.
