I am testing a subscription product for a website. I set up the Subscription plan for that platform on Paypal, added the button code to the Woocommerce product, troubleshooted, and it is working fine. To test it, I purchased it myself from a different account and I received all the emails as the Customer telling me I have purchased the subscription item, monthly billing cycles, etc.
However, as a store owner, I did not receive any notification that someone has bought this item from you, now go do the needful. Unless I sign into my Paypal account, I would not know about any new purchases. What did I miss?
I have had Paypal hooked up with my Woocommerce items for a while now, and the regular products all work fine. I receive those emails. This is only about the subscription product. Why did the owner / service provider not receive any email notifications. I have a Paypal business account. And it was a live transaction, not sandbox.
Also, when I test purchased the subscription, I only received a popup showing me the Profile ID created automatically by Paypal. It is not user friendly. I do have a redirect URL set up for regular items and it works fine. It just did not work for the Subscription test. Is there a separate setting for those products? I would like the user to know their subscription purchase went through fine, thank you and redirect a dif url with instructions.
Thank you.
