hi! hmm well the first question is, is your account even able to use recurring Paypal payments, have you enabled and been accepted for that?

In my downgrade flow, the user does not get charged unless the period of the exisiting plan finishes..
In stripe dashboard i can see the following message when clicking on paypal

sounds good. So what exactly is the issue that you run into with the downgrade flow? I'm not really understanding. You say "paypal it is bit tricky. because it navigates the user to another page, then comes back" but that's only for the initial payment, the recurring payments work like cards, it's just a backend action.

Okay let me break it down,
I have for a example a user that subscribes intially using normal cards.. then when downgrading he chooses to procced with Paypal...
In my current downgrade flow. the user does not get charged right away. they get charged when the period of the current subscription ends..
For normal cards, Before I attach the scheduler to downgrade, am simply chaning the payment method of the customer to the new one (if user has changed it), but for paypal.. I know that paypal requires extra verification, my confusion is there if I have I scheduler payment to downgrade using paypal, when would this verification step appear exactly..

I see. Well then yeah I wouldn't do it that way. If they want to downgrade and switch to Paypal, you should first have them visit your site and save their Paypal details : https://docs.stripe.com/payments/paypal/set-up-future-payments , letting you create and attach a Paypal pm_xxx PaymentMethod to their Customer cus_xxx, and then you can make the call to the SubscriptionSchedule API to set up the downgrade and change of default_payment_method.
