Subscriptions
PayPal Subscriptions and Recurring Payments is a service that will let you accept recurring
payments for your service.
When you set up Subscriptions, you can offer your subscribers a trial period, special
introductory rates, and a regular rate. Your subscribers will be billed automatically according
to the terms you dictate, removing the hassle of keeping track of which payments you have and
have not received.
For more information about PayPal Subscriptions and Recurring Payments, see the PayPal
Subscriptions manual, which is available on the PayPal website.
