How do I create and manage PayPal subscriptions?

The Subscriptions option allows you to create a recurring payment with our updated checkout. Buyers can now stay on your website to process payments to you via PayPal button, or Buyer Credit, or a Direct Card payment by keying in the card number. Plus, mobile users can set their Venmo App to allow them to send Venmo payments to your PayPal account. This is a significant advance from our Standard Button code; however, it is easy for a novice to follow the steps to create the code that you copy from PayPal and add to your website.

To create and manage PayPal subscriptions for your customers:    

  1. Log into your account.
  2. Click Sales at the top of the page.
  3. Click Subscriptions under 'Accept Payments.'

For more information on integrating subscriptions on your website, visit our Developer Portal.
