Commerce Subscription creates a new product called "Subscription (PayPal WPS Subscription)"

However, this subscription product has no price or date, so how are you supposed to sell an item that has a recurring subscription?

Hi big_smile - nice name :-)

You're quite right, the Subscription product (up until today) had no fields attached. I've *just* this minute pushed a new version which now attaches all the required fields for a paypal subscription. However, you need to note that this module is still a development version, and doesn't fully work yet. Notably, although you can define the products, and much of the functionality to sell the product exists, it is still redirecting to a standard paypal page, and won't receive any IPN events there.

A lot of the work that's been done so far is on the outlying framework to allow us to convert this module into a core, with individual modules for different payment providers, with a looser integration involving the Rules module. With each step, it gets a bit closer to an alpha release, but it's by no means ready yet.

Keep an eye out on the commerce_subscription project page, though, I'm sure it'll be ready soon.

I should add - to get the fields on existing product types, you'll need to disable and re-enable the module for them to appear. They're attached by the enable hook.
