Create subscriptions to bill customers at regular intervals. You can customize a subscriptions integration to:
- Create plans that charge users a fixed amount at regular intervals or a variable amount based on the number of users subscribed.
- Create plans that charge users based on volume or tier.
- Offer your subscribers free or discounted trials.
- Enable subscribers to upgrade or downgrade their plans.
- Automate payment recovery for failed payments.
How it works
- Create a product to represent your goods or services.
- Create a plan to represent the payment cycles for your subscription.
- Use the JavaScript SDK to present the PayPal button, which starts the subscription process.
- The buyer agrees and subscribes.
- The button calls the Subscriptions API to create the subscription.
- The buyer sees the subscription confirmation.
