Using Email Notices to Track Subscription Transactions
PayPal sends you email notices when:
 Buyers sign up for new subscriptions.
 Subscription payments occur.
 Subscriptions end or buyers cancel them.
Generally, PayPal sends email notices to the primary email address of your account.
PayPal can send email notices to an alternate email address, such as to someone in your
organization who handles accounting or manages access to members-only content. Add the
additional email address to your account profile. Then, use that email address as the value for
the business HTML variable when you write the HTML code yourself for your Subscribe
buttons.
For more information, see “HTML Variables for PayPal Payments Standard” on page 417.
Using Recent Activity to Track Subscribe Transactions
PayPal displays Subscribe transactions in your recent activity, soon after subscribers complete
their subscription signups.
If you accepted your first subscription payment before October 15, 2009:
