Recurring Payments
Recurring Payments is a scheduled payment solution that enables you to automatically bill a
buyer for a fixed amount of money on a fixed schedule. When you create recurring payments
for a buyer, you create a recurring payments profile. The profile contains information about
the recurring payments, including details for an optional trial period and a regular payment
period. Each of these subscription periods contains information about the payment frequency
and payment amounts, including shipping and tax, if applicable. For more information, refer to
Website Payments Pro Integration Guide.
N OTE: Recurring Payments is not supoorted by Hosted Solution. It is only supported using the
DirectPayment API.
PayPal Express Checkout Transaction Processing
PayPal Express Checkout is PayPal’s premier checkout solution. It makes it easier for your
buyers to pay and allows you to accept PayPal while retaining control of the buyer and overall
checkout flow. It enables the buyers to use shipping information stored securely at PayPal to
check out, so they do not have to re-enter it on your site. The Pay with PayPal button can be
placed on both the product page as well as the shopping cart page and is a great tool to increase
checkout conversion.
The following steps describe how PayPal Express Checkout works
1. After selecting products to purchase on your website, buyers click Pay with PayPal
button.
2. They are redirected to the PayPal site where they log in using their PayPal login and
password.
3. After logging in, they review the order summary, and click Continue Checkout to
authorise the transaction.
4. The buyers are then returned to the confirmation page on your website where they can
verify the order details and submit the transaction.
