Recurring billing with Payflow Pro not happening

[whmissweet]

V: 4.4.2

Cron off

 

Just activated Payflow Pro as our gateway and the orders are getting to the gateway just fine, but dont seem to be showing up at the gateway as recurring billing profiles, only as one time billings.

 

I ticked "use reference transactions" and that didn't change anything when looking at the gateway sales. The orders only show up under daily sales transactions, not under the recurring billing transaction reports.

 

There's an option on the gateway to create a reference transaction from a "sale" transaction manually:

 

 

 

but shouldn't whmcs be creating the recurring billing profile and shouldn't that be showing up on the gateway reports?

 

As we have cron OFF (because i dont want duplicate payment emails being sent to clients), is it this cron utility that would normally handle the recurring function?

 

Would really appreciate any insight on this.

 

thanks very much in advance.
