Basically here's the deal, I'm moving a website over from using the standard PayPal Subscription interface to using the PayPal PRO RecurringPayments Profile Interface.

I see lightly that the PayPal Pro interface supports a type of subscription interface with the recurring payments, though the IPN isn't very well documented in this case. The IPN Simulator in the sandbox doesn't give me options to simulate various behaviors with the RecurringPayments profile interface. Onto of that, how can I use the PayPal pro interface to simulate a non-recurring subscription? All this is very poorly documented, does anyone have any experience with running subscriptions with the paypal pro sdk?

If anyone does have experience with using the paypal pro API for subscriptions, can you give me some insights as to what IPN variables to listen for to change membership statuses if the credit card is denied in the future, or whatever else? Because thats another thing the simulator doesn't allow me to simulate a denied transaction for recurring payment profiles. My only other idea which I might possibly end up doing is establishing a cron to simulate the subscription behavior... Anywho, I keep repeating the same thing over & over again.. Any help?
