Paypal recurring payments

vismay 12 Jul, 2017
Hello,

Its' possible with the native action PayPal redirect to create a recurring payment?

I've found this instructions in PayPal:
<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick-subscriptions">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="me@mybusiness.com">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
<input type="image" src="http://www.paypal.com/it_IT/i/btn/x-click-but20.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<input type="hidden" name="a3" value="5.00">
<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="M">
<input type="hidden" name="src" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="sra" value="1">
</form>


where a3 is amount, p3 is recourring and t3 is time.
in this example is 5 USD every month.

I see in the action there are 2 option fields...

Hi vismay,

The CFv5 action did not support repeating payment - I suspect that the v6 one also does not. You can do this by setting up a little custom form in the Thank You page using hidden inputs and a 'Pay Now' button - or perhaps better use an API library to manage the interface with PayPal.

Hi vismay,

If you can send me a message using the contact page with a link to this topic then I will try to send you an updated paypal action which may get this working!

Best regards,
Max
