After a PayPal subscription is created for a user, does subscr_signup get sent before or after confirming the payment?
I am using django-paypal, which does not have built-in functionality to handle the subscr_payment IPN message.
This lead me to wonder whether or not I can use subscr_signup as an indicator that the subscription was successful.
Many thanks

Instant Payment Notification (IPN) is a message service that automatically notifies merchants of events related to PayPal transactions. Merchants can use it to automate back-office and administrative functions, including automatically fulfilling orders and providing customers with order status.
Log in to your PayPal Business or Premier account at www.paypal.com. At the top of the page, click Activity. From the Transaction drop-down menu, click Subscription agreements. Use Search for transactions or any combination of the drop-down menus to locate a subscription.
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”.
Click the settings icon at the top of your PayPal account page and then click Account Settings. On the Notifications page, click the Update link for the Instant payment notifications item. Click Choose IPN Settings to specify your listener's URL and activate the listener.
Typically subscr_signup is sent after subscr_payment(3 sec apart), but the sequence is not guaranteed. PayPal recommendation is to rely on subscr_signup. Read more here: http://www.mixedwaves.com/2010/11/paypal-subscriptions-ipn-demystified/
