Sandbox renewal of subscription

Question

I am making subscription in the sandbox pay-pal and i just want to know how you guys do for the renew of subscription...example if the customers subscription is expired how can i let him renew his/her subscription do i need to create another button for the subscription just to renew his/her subscription?just what i did in his/her first subscription...and how do i reset the date so that his ending date of subscription will be lesser so that i can test to renew the subscription in the sandbox pay-pal.

Or how do i redirect my customers to my sandbox test(business) site if they're subscriptions are expired.what should i do?...please let me know how to do this.

just like in there first subscription they redirected to my sandbox test site and they can see how much they would pay...

I appreciated much more reply.

Thank you.

If you're using IPN, PayPal sends an IPN post when a subscription is created, a payment is made, and when it expires. You can use that IPN post to trigger a script to send your buyers an e-mail. That e-mail can include a link to your site where the button is located or a link the buyers can click to be redirected to PayPal and resubscribe from there.

There isn't a guaranteed way to have buyers return to your site after their subscription expires. Sending them an e-mail with their different options and an explanation that their subscription has expired is a fair way of handling the situation.
