But the Profile ID in the API call is same as the Profile id in the Paypal . ID is like S-79440077XXXXXXXXX.

API Call

USER=%USERNAME% &PWD=%PASSWORD% &SIGNATURE=%SIGNATURE% &VERSION=76.0 &METHOD=ManageRecurringPaymentsProfileStatus &PROFILEID=S-79440077XXXXXXXXX &ACTION=Cancel &NOTE=Profile+cancelled+at+store

The API operation ManageRecurringPaymentsProfileStatusRequest doesn't support PayPal Subscriptions (S-XXXX). The API operation works for only recurring profiles(I-XXXX) which were created via express checkout recurring payments.

You are passing the subscription id(S-XXX) as I-XXXX profile in the API request by replacing the S with I as I-7XXXXXXXXXXXX4R, this is an invalid I-XXXX profile, hence you are receiving the error as an Invliad profile.

If you pass the correct S-XXX profile value in the API request then you will get the error-- Subscription profiles are not supported for recurring payments.
