Creating Recurring Payments
Profiles
N OTE: The Payflow SDK recurring payments operations are available only to merchants who
have signed up for Payflow Recurring Payments.
Preparing to Create Recurring Payments Profiles
To set up recurring payments, you must collect all necessary information from the buyer
including the billing amount of the payment.
For recurring payments that you bill through the buyer’s credit card, this includes the buyer’s
credit card information.
For recurring payments that you bill through the buyer’s PayPal account, you must first call
the Set Express Checkout request, specifying the RecurringPayments billing type and
providing the billing description for one or more profiles that you want to create. For details,
see Express Checkout for Payflow Pro.
After you have collected the information, you can create the recurring payments profile either
through the PayPal website or programmatically using the PayPal SDK recurring payments
SDK operations.
Creating Profiles Through Your PayPal Account
To create a recurring payments profile through your PayPal Business account:
1. Log in to your business account.
2. Click the Recurring Payments link either in the Tools section of the Account Overview
page or on your Profile page.
The Recurring payments overview page appears, as shown in Figure 2.1 .
