    Hello,

    I've searched the forum for an answer to my question, but I didn't quite find one similar. So, my question is I currently have Paypal Recurring setup in my site. But If I close my Paypal account and start a new one under the same e-mail address, does the recurring payments still work?

    When I searched here I found that since I have Paypal recurring payments going on then I can't change the Paypal e-mail then it would mess up everything.

    But if I close a Paypal account and start new under same e-mail address. Will that be a problem?

    Please reply ASAP.

    Thank you

    What happens to the current users when you close your paypal account? (why would you do that?) I would think it would cancel all subscriptions.

    I want to close the account because I want to start new. So, if I close the account then the subscriptions won't renew for the next month?

    But can't they subscribe again for the next month, though? I'm not much worried about the recurring payments. But after I open an account under the same e-mail address it should work fine, right?

    Also wondering if I cancel the recurring payments through the adminCP then will it stop all the recurring payments or just for the new members?

    Thanks a lot

    First you should ask paypal is this even possible to do this. And what will happen with your recurring payments.
    If you use Paypal WebSite payments standart, PayPal manage recurring payments, not aMember. All recurring payments are storted in your Paypal profile and paypal rebill users and then send notifications to aMember about sucessfull rebills.
    So I believe if you will close your account, this will cancel all recurring payments you have.
    If you will "cancel" payments from amember CP, this will not affect paypal subscriptions (they still will be active at paypal)
