Paypal setup - please help

5 replies
Hello

I have basic business paypal account setup to sell through my website.
Is it possible to use both options - subscribe (recuring payments) and buy (one off payments) ?

    Yes, go to the "merchant services" tab.
    Then press "create payment buttons for your website".
    Then choose a button type.
    1. "buy now" for one off payments.
    2. "subscriptions" for monthly payments.
    In the subscriptions, you can fill out the info and monthly amount to charge. Fill it out carefully.
    Then when you create the button, it will give you 2 codes. One you can put on your site. And one you can send in an email.

    Hope this helps.

        Hi SBK,

        As I remember when you have filled out the details you get tow different codes to give you the option of Web and/or email. You do not have to use email.

        That said, working a subscription list is a good way of keeping your name & products in peoples minds. If you are working a email list, then you will want the email code too ( you can copy it too a notepad document & save it for future use.)

    You need to setup two seperate Buy Buttons; one for the 'Once off' and one for the Subcriptions. Once you have created each one, copy the html code for each one and then paste it on your site/page where you want it.

    So you will have two buttons on the page. Put a text line above each stating whether it's once off or subscription.
