Create and manage profiles for recurring payments through PayPal.

Syntax

Remarks

The RecurringPayments component allows you to create and manage profiles for buyers which contain recurring payments. RecurringPayments allows you to use your PayPal account to setup subscriptions or other defined recurring billing arrangements for your customers.

First set the User to your API name, and Password to the password for that API. Set the Signature property to the API signature you received from PayPal. Then you may set profile settings depending on what operation you may be performing. Profile settings such as : BillingDetails, AutoBill, Description, etc. may be used when CreateProfile or UpdateProfile is called. These properties will be populated when GetProfile is called. The profiles are identified to PayPal by their ProfileId, which is assigned by PayPal when the profile is created.

When creating a profile, you may use a credit card or a billing agreement that was previously created using the ExpressCheckout component. For more information on creating a new profile, see CreateProfile.

Other operations that may be performed on recurring payments profiles are CancelProfile, ReactivateProfile, SuspendProfile, and BillOutstandingAmount.
