Chaning PayPal Billing Frequency Code

2 replies
I recently created a PayPal subscription button to put on my landing page and I created four different payment plans for my customers that they can select via a dropdown menu



I am having difficulty setting the proper billing frequency for each payment option. For example, I want the annual to be billed every 12 months, bi-annual every 6 months, etc.

I've been searching Google for help and have only found articles saying that it needs to be changed through your PayPal HTML button link. After playing around with this I haven't had much luck. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thank you...

My code is below:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="WPMYBVN4VHP7E">
<table>
<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Payment Options">Payment Options</td></tr><tr><td><select name="os0">
<option value="Annual Plan: 1 Year = 50 cents a day">Annual Plan: 1 Year = 50 cents a day : $182.50 USD - monthly</option>
<option value="Semi-annual Plan: 6 Months = 75 cents a day">Semi-annual Plan: 6 Months = 75 cents a day : $135.00 USD - monthly</option>
<option value="Quarterly Plan: 3 Months= $1.00 a day">Quarterly Plan: 3 Months= $1.00 a day : $90.00 USD - monthly</option>
<option value="Monthly Plan: $1.50 a day">Monthly Plan: $1.50 a day : $45.00 USD - monthly</option>
</select> </td></tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">

    I am pretty sure that the value of your options has to be the price number only, nothing else. For instance: 182.50 instead of Annual Plan: 1 Year = 50 cents a day">Annual Plan: 1 Year = 50 cents a day : $182.50 USD - monthly

      Thanks for the reply.

      It appears to work fine upon check-out. PayPal set those options for me when I created the button.

      My issue is still trying to change the "monthly" frequency for the other three plans to 12 months, 6 months and, 3 months.
