hey, so Express Checkout is an API integration so for subscriptions/recurring payments you would need to integrate several API calls....
- SetExpressCheckout
- GetExpressCheckoutDetails and
- CreateRecurringPaymentProfile
Or if you're using straight up HTML buttons you can just use a subscription HTML form e.g.
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <!-- Identify your business so that you can collect the payments. --> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="alice@mystore.com"> <!-- Specify a Subscribe button. --> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick-subscriptions"> <!-- Identify the subscription. --> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Alice's Weekly Digest"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="DIG Weekly"> <!-- Set the terms of the regular subscription. --> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> <input type="hidden" name="a3" value="5.00"> <input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="t3" value="M"> <!-- Set recurring payments until canceled. --> <input type="hidden" name="src" value="1"> <!-- Display the payment button. --> <input type="image" name="submit" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_US/i/btn/png/btn_subscribe_113x26.png" alt="Subscribe"> <img alt="" width="1" height="1" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" > </form>

Hey : )
Thanks very much for the response! 🙂
I really appreciate it 🙂
Do you mind if I ask you a follow up quetion?
-------
Is it possible to simply add parameters to the Paypal Express Checkout code - that will set up for subscription - or point to an existing subscription - already set up on my seller account?
payment: function(data, actions) { return actions.payment.create({ payment: { transactions: [ { amount: { total: '0.11', currency: 'USD' }, hosted_button_id: 'PAYPALS_BUTTON_ID_7KDHB44PVYQ21', or_maybe_subscriptio_detials: 'monthly' } ] } });
You know - like you can with their regular HTML buttons:
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="PAYPALS_BUTTON_ID_7KDHB44PVYQ21">
Or do you need to set up the subscription details dynamically through the API?
I like the pop-up and staying on your site of the Express Checkout. But I am not sure it is worth a bunch of additional coding - when I could just send them off to PayPal with a HTML button.
