Canceling Paypal subscriptions on-site

    We're currently running Paypal (Website Payments Pro, *not* Payflow Payment Gateway) and would like to start using it for a subscription service. However, form what we've seen the only options for canceling a subscription that is set up through Paypal is to ask the user to log on to the Paypal website to cancel (e.g., http://www.memwg.com/how-to-cancel-a-paypal-subscription/). This doesn't seem like an ideal user experience.

    Are there any options for canceling a Paypal subscription that don't involve either sending a user to the Paypal website or switching over to the Payflow Payment Gateway?

    I don't think so that there is any option exist for cancelling a Paypal subscription without going to paypal's website.

    DON.

    Yes, you just need to create a button for that and put it onto your site.
    Use this code. (replace with your paypal email address)

    
    <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_subscr-find&alias=seller%40paypal.com"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_unsubscribe_SM.gif" border="0"></a>
    
    Code (markup):
    Still, they do need to need to login to paypal. Only that instead of them looking for subscription cancellation link, this button will straightly send them to your subscription link.
