How do I create a Subscription Button?
If you are a new customer in Nigeria please be sure to link to your partner bank to start receiving money.
You can use the Subscription Button to bill customers on a regular basis, charge membership fees or offer subscription services. We provide the HTML code and a link for you to copy and paste into your website’s code.
Here’s how to create a Subscription Button from your desktop:
- Log in to your Business account.
- Go to https://www.paypal.com/billing/plans.
- Click Create Plan.
- Fill in the details of your product and click Next.
- Select your Product and click Next.
- Choose the kind of subscription plan you want to offer. (Select "Fixed pricing" if you'd like to charge the same price each billing cycle.)
- Fill in the name and the description of your plan.
- Click Next.
- Fill in the details of the plan and click Next.
- Define pricing for this subscription plan and click Next.
- Click Turn Plan On.
- Click Copy code or Copy Link to add the button to your website.
The main differences between a subscription and automatic payments are:
- Automatic payments integrate with PayPal via APIs. Subscriptions integrate with PayPal via HTML.
- Automatic payments allow your customers to check out at the cart level with multiple items. Subscriptions allow your buyers to complete their purchase for 1 item or service at a time.
- Automatic payments support merchant management, including limited modification, suspension/reactivation, and billing on outstanding amounts.
