Thread: Setting up Paypal subscription for the first time

Paying by PayPal subscription is one of the most convenient ways for seller and buyer to sort out a recurring payment.
The tutorial below should teach you how to set up Paypal subscription

STEP #1 - Join Paypal:

The standard Paypal account you can create will work for most of what you
need in taking payments for services. But to take advantage of the Subscriptions
and Recurring Payments product, so you will be able to offer a weekly/monthly/yearly
subscription service to your clients, you will need to upgrade your account
to the Business or Premier accounts.

Simple enough. Once you goto the Paypal sigup page, you then select "Business Account":




Once you complete the online form, and verify your contact information, as
well as confirming your bank account info (including: Bank name, Account
and routing numbers, Name associated with bank account), you will be
ready to login to your new Paypal account.

STEP #2 - Setting Up A Subscription:

Once you login, you will be greeted by your "My Account Overview" page.
Click on "Merchant Services":




Once here, click on the "Subscribe" link:





Here's where you create your subscribe button that will go on your
webpage. Fill in the details of the subscription you are creating, such as
your subscription name, currency type, etc.

*TIP* If you are offering a service, try using the "Trial Period" option.
This way, you can offer your future client a free period to try out your
services, or something like "buy 3 months, get 1 month free"!

The "Regular billing cycle" options are where you create your subscription to
span either daily, monthy, or yearly:





Once you fill out your necessary information, choose your button style:
