If I understand correctly, applications need to provide a subclass of this model, correct?
Can you add a brief docstring mentioning this?

I don't understand what this method should do.
What does autocomplete mean in this context?

I'm not sure what this is supposed to return either.

This is partially working implementation of PayPal subscriptions. I was able to manage subscription creation, getting state and cancelling. This is based subscription support drafted in #217.
Although I was able to successfully manage communication with PayPal, I have got stuck and I don't know how to continue at this point. The main problems are:
PayPal requires setting
plan_idand having Plan created at the time of creating the Subscription.This is not required when using Subscription button (like
django-paypaldoes). It brings in whole lot of problems - the price can't be changed per user, it requires implementer to set up the Plans on PayPal and maintain consistency with server settings (especially ifdjango-paymentsare used with multiple providers).Getting notification of the payments
I don't know how to capture the recurring payments. With PayPal Subscription buttons PayPal sends notification about the payment. I didn't find how to do that with API. There also might be possibility to check the Subscriptions through the API and check their (possibly changed) expiration.
