Membership Pro PayPal stores each subscription as a record with PayPal's profile ID, status, next-billing date, and recurring amount kept in wp_postmeta on the order or subscription post (the exact post type depends on which Membership Pro variant is installed, commonly mp_subscription or memberpress_subscription). Every IPN message received from PayPal lands in a custom log table or in wp_options as a serialised array, with the transaction ID, IPN type, and outcome stamped on each entry.

The default admin shows subscriptions in one list and PayPal IPN debug output in another tab. Joining a subscription to its IPN history means clicking into the subscription, scrolling to the gateway-log section, and reading raw IPN payloads. When a subscription stops renewing because PayPal's webhook missed a delivery, the symptom (member shows as expired) and the cause (IPN never arrived) live on two separate screens. Reconciliation is manual.

SleekView reads the subscription table or post type plus the IPN log directly, joins them on the PayPal profile ID, and shows subscriptions as a sortable view with status, last IPN type, last IPN timestamp, and next-billing date as proper columns. Mismatches (member expired but no cancel IPN received) become a saved filter.

Recurring PayPal subscriptions are a black box until you have the IPN log on the same screen as the subscription itself. PayPal sends events asynchronously and not always reliably, so the local subscription state can drift from PayPal's actual state in ways that only show up when a member complains. Membership Pro PayPal captures the IPN data needed to detect drift, but the default admin keeps subscriptions and IPN logs on separate screens.

Reconciling a missing webhook becomes a multi-screen audit per subscriber. SleekView puts both data sources on one row: subscription status, last IPN type, last IPN timestamp, next billing date, all sortable and filterable. The reconciliation queue (status mismatch between local and PayPal) becomes a saved filter rather than a manual audit.

Finance teams check the queue daily for failed renewals; support staff see the full IPN trail on every ticket; admins surface the long-tail of stale subscriptions that need cleanup. The data was always in the database. SleekView gives it the workspace shape the operational team actually needs.
