---

### 2. **Booking Resource Controller Updates** ✅
**File:** `app/Http/Controllers/BookingResourceController.php`

#### Changes Made:

**A. Removed TODO Block (lines 998-1076)**
Replaced the error message with full PayPal subscription implementation:
```php
// OLD:
return back()->with('error', 'PayPal subscriptions are not yet supported...');

// NEW:
// Full PayPal billing plan and agreement creation
// Redirect to PayPal for customer approval
```

**B. New Callback Methods Added:**

**executePayPalSubscription()** (lines 1381-1439)
- Handles return from PayPal after customer approval
- Executes the billing agreement
- Activates the subscription
- Credits customer account
- Redirects to customer portal

**cancelPayPalSubscription()** (lines 1441-1469)
- Handles customer cancellation during PayPal approval

---

### 3. **Routes Added** ✅
**File:** `routes/web.php` (lines 1302-1304)

```php
// PayPal subscription callback routes
Route::get('/paypal/subscription/execute',
    [BookingResourceController::class, 'executePayPalSubscription'])
    ->name('paypal.subscription.execute');

Route::get('/paypal/subscription/cancel',
    [BookingResourceController::class, 'cancelPayPalSubscription'])
    ->name('paypal.subscription.cancel');
```

---

### 4. **Customer Portal Integration** ✅
**File:** `app/Http/Controllers/Customer/SubscriptionPortalController.php`

**Enhanced cancel() Method (lines 80-115)**
- Now cancels PayPal billing agreements when customer cancels subscription
- Logs cancellation attempts
- Graceful error handling if PayPal API fails
- Also added Stripe cancellation placeholder

---

## How It Works

### Customer Flow

#### Step 1: Select Subscription Package
1. Customer visits booking resource page
2. Clicks "Subscribe & Save"
3. Selects a subscription package
4. **NEW:** Chooses **PayPal** as payment method

#### Step 2: PayPal Approval
1. System creates billing plan in PayPal
2. System creates billing agreement
3. Customer redirected to PayPal.com
4. Customer reviews subscription details
5. Customer approves billing agreement

#### Step 3: Activation
1. PayPal redirects back to your website (`/paypal/subscription/execute`)
2. System executes the billing agreement
3. Subscription activated with status: `active`
4. Credits added to customer account
5. Customer redirected to subscription portal

#### Step 4: Recurring Billing
1. PayPal automatically charges customer each billing cycle
2. PayPal sends webhooks to your system
3. System updates subscription status
4. Credits reset for next period

### Billing Plan Creation

When customer selects PayPal:
1. **Billing Plan** created with:
   - Package name and description
   - Price and billing frequency
   - Setup fee (if applicable, as 1-day trial)
   - Return/Cancel URLs

2. **Plan Activation**:
   - Plan created in INACTIVE state
   - Immediately activated via PATCH request
   - Plan ID stored for agreement creation

### Billing Agreement Creation

1. Agreement created with:
   - Reference to billing plan
   - Customer payer info
   - Start date (1 minute from now)

2. Approval URL extracted from response

### Agreement Execution

After customer approves:
1. Token extracted from callback URL
2. Agreement executed via PayPal API
3. Agreement ID stored in `gateway_subscription_id`
4. Subscription status changed to `active`
5. Credits allocated

### Subscription Cancellation

When customer cancels:
1. System calls `cancelBillingAgreement()`
2. PayPal stops future billing
3. Customer retains access until period end
4. Credits remain available until expiry
