This is mostly functional, but requiring a bit of work to work for a  
production environment. I’m mostly looking for feedback and possibly  
some useful patches if anyone feels inclined.

Hi, I have the following comments:

a) Shouldn’t one install the Engines plugin first?

b) I would highly recommend producing a complete and detail example of  
how  
to use your engine. Just a thought.

c) What work is required to make this production ready?

I’ll try to play with it with the information given.

Good luck,

-Conrad

The order of installation doesn’t matter.

I’m getting to it.

1. Better test coverage.
2. Fixtures that don’t use real people’s information (that’s why  
there’s a fixture missing from SVN)
3. More useful methods on the PaypalSubscription class.
