Allow price change for recurring user upgrades to update existing subscriptions when using PayPal/Stripe as payment providers

If changing the price for a recurring user upgrade, please add a tick-box/prompt for existing subscriptions to be updated with the payment provider.

Ref: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/#subscriptions_patch and https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update

Good suggestion!

This can be achieved by XF adopting the newer PP API, same as here:

Allow users to cancel recurring upgrade from within their account when using PayPal as payment provider

I would suggest one suggestion to update the API because there are multiple improvements to the experience that could be listed but then they suffer vote dilution.

Good idea one suggestion to rule them all

Might be best to do that ASAP and notify people to revote then.

Implemented - PayPal NVP API

The PayPal integration XenForo uses is the old school "Website Payments" system that PayPal supports via creating a form and submitting it to PayPal. It works, but PayPal has an exponentially better API now that let you do a LOT more than just blindly take payments...

Going to go out on a limb and say that a proper payments management feature boost would go a LONG way in XenForo. Most features here I see as quite hit and miss, depending on your niche, but everyone should or could be monetizing their community and with a payments model boost it could be a huge value add.
