I have encountered a problem with Paypal recurring payments. CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile() returns ID of created profile (ProfileID). At the same time, I receive the following confirmation on IPN url:
payment_cycle - Daily
txn_type - recurring_payment_profile_
created
last_name - User
next_payment_date - 03:00:00 Oct 06, 2011 PDT
residence_country - US
initial_payment_amount - 0.00
currency_code - USD
time_created - 23:21:02 Oct 05, 2011 PDT

Obviously, ProfileID and recurring_payment_id are equal. After this, a confirmation about the payment is received:
mc_gross - 20.00
outstanding_balance - 0.00
period_type - Regular
next_payment_date - 03:00:00 Oct 07, 2011 PDT

These 3 values: ProfileID in return of CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile(); recurring_payment_id in recurring_payment_profile_created; recurring_payment_id in recurring_payment - should be the same. (as it seems that there's no other way to properly identify the payment for this specific subscription) Also, recurring_payment (on IPN) is being sent by Paypal multiple times and every time recurring_payment_id is different.
Should I use recurring_payment_id to identify the payment for specific subscription or there's another properly way to identify it?

Step 1: In your PayPal Account, go to my account –> profile – my setting tools – instant payment notifications – update – choose IPN settings. Step 2: Paste the notification URL given and enable the option “* Recive IPN messages”.
APICurrent. Instant Payment Notification (IPN) is a message service that notifies you of events related to PayPal transactions. You can use IPN messages to automate back-office and administrative functions, such as fulfilling orders, tracking customers, or providing status and other transaction-related information.
The International Performer Number (IPN) is a unique universal identifier allocated to every single PPL-registered performer as well as performers registered with other collective management organisations (CMOs). This ID number is used to identify a performer in exchanges with other CMOs around the world.
View IPN messages and details. Use the IPN History page on the PayPal website to view IPN messages sent to your listener URL from PayPal, and to request that messages be resent. Select the IPN messages to review. You can specify a date range, delivery status, and PayPal transaction ID.
Profile ID = recurring_payment_id. If recurring_payment_id is different, we're talking about a different ProfileID (in other words: a different recurring payment profile).
