    Whats the different between this hook:

    paypal_ipn_for_wordpress_txn_type_recurring_payment_profile_cancel

    And that one:

    paypal_ipn_for_wordpress_txn_type_subscr_cancel

    ?

    Thanks!

    PayPal has different products that do similar things, and IPN has different notifications for these.

    PayPal Standard (basic HTML buttons) has “Subscriptions” while PayPal Express Checkout (API calls) uses “Recurring Payments Profiles”.

    So if you’re using PayPal Standard Subscription buttons then you will get IPNs like subscr_signup, subscr_payment, subscr_cancel, etc.

    If you’re setting up API Recurring Payments Profiles then you’ll get IPNs like recurring_payment_profile_created, etc.

    Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns about that.
