Transfer subscription Payments..Possibly?

3 replies
I am currently considering selling one of my businesses, it has a number of members who are paying subscriptions via paypal.

Is there anyway to transfer the subscriptions or would i need to ask everyone to resubscribe to any new owners??

    They will have to resubscribe. There are reportedly ways to transfer a PP account, but it is not easy to do.

    A response from one of the PayPal developers on this subject was:

    "A subscription is tied to the primary email address on an account. If the email address on an account is deleted, the subscriptions are cancelled since the 'account' no longer exists. Transferring the email address to another account won't continue the subscriptions.

    There is really no way to gracefully transfer the subscriptions from one account to another account."

    One option though was to change the company details on the account. So, if the account only does transactions that relate to the site you are selling, and the primary email address isn't your personal address (i.e. you can allow the buyer to take over the primary email address) then you should be able to allow the buyer to take over the account and email which will keep all existing subscriptions active.
