PayPal payments queue

Question

In this documentation PayPal says:

PayPal automatically queues payments based on the billing start date, billing frequency, and billing amount.

So if at 8 AM today PayPal will charge my customer's account, can I as a developer receive that information and check whether my product for that recurring bill is expired then cancel this subscription before 8 AM today? (like right before PayPal charge my customer's account?)

Or I have to run a cronjob for every hour to check product expiration and manually cancel subscription?

Answer 1

That document is an old and deprecated recurring payments integration method.

If you use the current PayPal Subscriptions, you can register for webhooks.
