TABLE 1.1 Payflow Recurring Payments Terms

Term Meaning

Payment The amount that is transacted during each regular payment

period, not including shipping and tax. It is represented by the

Payflow AMT parameter. Payments differ from transactions.

Several transactions may be required to successfully perform a

payment for a payment period, for example, because of a lack of

funds during the first transaction attempts.

Regular payment period The period during which a single regular (non-trial) payment is

made. It is represented by the PAYPERIOD parameter. If, for

example, a $42 payment is due on a monthly basis, the regular

payment period is monthly.

Trial payment period An optional subscription period before the regular payment

period begins. It is represented by the TRIALPAYPERIOD

parameter. A trial payment period and trial payment may differ

from the regular payment period and regular payment.

Term The total number of regular or trial payment periods. It is

represented by the TERM and TRIALTERM parameters. If there

are 36 monthly payments, for example, the term is 36. On the

PayPal website, term is called payment cycle.

Recurring payments profile Your definition of a recurring transaction for a single buyer. The

profile includes all information required to automatically bill the

right person the right amount per payment period over the billing

frequency.

Profile ID A 19-character string PayPal generates to uniquely identify a

recurring profile.

Outstanding balance If a payment fails for any reason, that amount is added to the

profile’s outstanding balance.
