I have recently been given the task to create a proof of concept that we can create adaptive payments within our system, but I have come to a stumbling block - just one!
When the API call is fired off to set up the pre-approval, the returned data does not extend past the 12 month period, regardless of if I go past that date.
I have read online that the limit is 12 months, but then I checked my own pre-approved list and I have an active pre-approved payment set up with Skype, from 2009, that is still active, so I figured it must be possible, so I called paypal.
They informed me that you can do it with Express Checkout, but for the life of me, I can not find how to allow periods of more than 12 months.
So the main question is: Does anybody know how to allow dates for the end date, to extend past the 12 months period?
The secondary question is: Express Checkout appears to be a separate payment system, so how are they linked in this instance?
