As often happens, this has turned out to be a little more complicated than initially though.

We can't pause Paypal EC donations, and we can't change their amount either, nor change them from monthly to annual. So there's really no save flow possible. We'll need to go straight to the cancel confirm page.

[mediawiki/extensions/DonationInterface@master] Remove 'pause' action from PayPal EC recurring

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1194957

Hi @Ejegg, can I confirm that we're unable to alter PayPal Express Checkout gifts, other than to cancel them, via the Donor Portal?

@KHill-WMF that's right, there's no way for us to change frequency, amount, or next charge date for recurring donations initiated via our PayPal Express Checkout.

The work attached to this ticket is to remove the pause button, edit button, and rescue flow from PayPal EC recurring contributions in the Donor Portal.

Thanks, I'll circle back with the working group team on this.
