I’m looking for any way of using the PayPal IPN to create subscriptions and update my Databases.
I know it’s a bit of a vague question but any script/class that will create a subscription and allow me to do anything automated on payment would be great.
I’ve been playing around with the PayPal IPN for a while now but can’t seem to get anything to work for subscriptions.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
IPN is only used for notifications, not to issue commands. You need to either look into their SOAP API or their NVP API.

You might want to look through their forum for examples like this (there is probably tons of other premade classes/scripts):
