Pass "custom" within options of PayPal::Recurring.new(options)

[datnt]

Hi fnando,

This is my code:

def process(action, options = {})
options = options.reverse_merge(
token: @subscription.paypal_payment_token,
payer_id: @subscription.paypal_customer_token,
description: "Description for payment plan #{@subscription.plan.batch}",
amount: @subscription.plan.price,
currency: "USD"
)
response = PayPal::Recurring.new(options).send(action)
raise response.errors.inspect if response.errors.present?

response

end

I tried to put "custom" within the above options scope, i.e:
options = options.reverse_merge(
...
custom: "...Some thing..."
)

But PayPal::Recurring display system errors.

Hi fnando,

I found a solution for this.

We should put custom within action "request_payment". Here is my comment on railscast
http://railscasts.com/episodes/289-paypal-recurring-billing?

def makerecurring(payment_notifications_url,current_user)
process :request_payment, ipn_url: "#{notifications_url}?custom=user_id#{current_user.id}"
process :create_recurring_profile, period: :daily, frequency: 1, start_at: Time.zone.now, ipn_url: notifications_url
end

Note:

1. ipn_url should be put within "request_payment" scope
2. Although I set up ipn_url for "create_recurring_profile" but it does not work.
