A way to cancel a recurring payment

[aldarund]

How can i cancel a reccuring payment? I dont see such option. You can create a reccuring payments but you can`t cancel them, thats strange.

Generally, a recurring payment is like an 'authorized' transaction that may be 'voided'. Hence there wasn't a need so far to add a separate method for it.

I will close this issue for now but feel free to reopen if your concerns still exist.

Ok, how can i cancel a braintree recurring payment. You cant just void it, you need to cancel a subscription.

Thanks for the specific information. I will take a look into this.

I didnt tried void subscription but looking at braintree api it will not work. In baintree gateway you create a reccuring with this code:
response = braintree.Subscription.create(request_hash)
And void is done with:
response = braintree.Transaction.void(identification)
But according to braintree api https://www.braintreepayments.com/docs/python/subscriptions/cancel you need to call a cancel method on Subscription object and i dont see anything like this in code

[theju]

That's right, it won't work in braintree's case. Would you please consider writing a recurring_cancel method with a test and update the docs?

[aldarund]

As i see some other gateways need this too, at least stripe needs

[theju]

I think it is best to have a recurring_cancel method in the gateway.

Let's plan this for the next release.

Long time no post it seems?

Sorry about that, can't give an ETA atm but there are plans to reboot and update a few things including this one.
