PayPal redirect - Recurring payments

enzo.orsi 29 Aug, 2015
Hello,
do you know if there is any way to use "recurring payments" for PayPal Redirect?
I want to let my customers pay one amount that will be automatically booked every month or every year.

I found this in Paypal website, but I am not sure if it could be integrated in CF:...

Hi enzo.orsi,

You could possibly do it with the PayPal Direct action by adding more parameters but it will be fairly complicated and I think you will need custom code in a Listener event to handle the responses as they aren't the same as the standard IPN responses.

Overall it will probably be simpler to use a PayPal API library and handle the transaction through that. I have used the Lionite library successfully - it does support recurring payments (though I haven't used that part).

Hi Bob,
do you know if there is in the pipeline to develop PayPal Listener also for Recurring Payments?🙂
Actually it is working pretty good the PayPal button for recurring payments, but we would need PayPal Listener because it seems not working...
And I like CF, don't want to use others🙂

Hi enzo.orsi,

Personally I'd use the Lionite PayPal library - it works nicely with ChronoForms* and - according to that page works with recurring payments. See the Smashing Magazine article linked from the BinPress page for some examples of using it.

* In the same way that any API library does, you install the library, then use Custom PHP to call the functions and integrate with your form data/actions.

It is a pity to buy another plugin when I bought (and I like) CF Full PayPal...
Unfortunately I cannot understand if that Lionite library works as I wish...for example, can I pass this plugin some custom fields as I am doing with CF PayPal Redirect? Is there also a PayPal Listener that will show if payment was successful or not?

Hi enzo.orsi,

That's fine - keep using the ChronoForms action.

Sorry...what you mean? Can I use Lionete as I am using CF Full PayPal?
Is it fully integrable with CF?
