Thanks, this was very helpful. I wish PayPal had included this in their documentation…

@ori
we need to test for both pending and completed status. in live cases we would see the payment status pending for reasons like payment not cleared etc. When paypal payment completes, paypal sends a payment status completed call to the script.

for the live sites on the code we should handle the situation as we like. In my case I did now allow the subscribers access the paid only access part of the website until the system gets payment status completed call from paypal. on the payment page we have put a small note for that.
