Geting list of payments processed for a given subscription_id
We can get a list of transactions made for a given subscription by using List transactions for subscription API (we pass a subscription_id as param) in postman. We can use this showing all the payment history for a given person if we store a subscription_id for each user in the database.
Fetching transactions and especially subscription txns?
Getting the subscription txns and their respective ids from the list of transactions we get by List transactions REST API of postman collection

When creating a subscription
When creating a subscription you can give the start_date to set the start date and time for this subscription. Also, if you just want the subscription to start immeditely you can simply delete that field from the payload of the request and in the response you’ll see the current time automatically set by the paypal server.
There is no way to un-cancel a request
- You can update different different fields on a subscription but updating
statusfield is not allowed at all. ~IMO Sahil(well tested). - Also, one the plan has been activated you cannot change the
start_date
