Subscription Question- Specific Reoccurring Dates

Hello,

 

I am a Love and Life Coach and I run a Program called 'The Fool's Journey'.

 

The course costs 3 monthly payments of $40.

 

I want to charge the inital $40 right now (to hold their spot) and then $40 on April 1st and the last one on May 1st.

 

The way  it appears to work is, they will get charged $40 immediately and again in 30 days and again in another 30 days. 

 

Is what I want possible?

 

Thank you so much!

Not with Website Payments Standard.

 

In order to control the payments the way you want to, you need to use Website Payments Pro and Recurring Payments.


Recurring Payments is an automatic billing service you manage and maintain via your web site by using an application programming interface or API and requires a server-side programming using .NET, PHP, Java, etc. The Recurring Payments API is not the same as Subscriptions and Recurring Billing available for Website Payments Standard, or the Recurring Billing available for PayFlow Link or PayFlow Pro. When the customer makes a Recurring Payment purchase, he or she can pay with a credit card but, is not redirected to PayPal. The customer does not leave your web site where as you are passing the customer's credit card info to PayPal for authorization. Therefore you are controlling the customer experience. You can also offer the customer the option to pay with their PayPal Account if they so desire through the use of Express Checkout. Note, using Website Payments Pro, you will also be required to meet current Payment Card Industry or PCI compliance standards. Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) are network security and business practice guidelines adopted by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card, and JCB to establish a "minimum security standard" to protect customer’s payment card information. This is a requirement for all merchants that store, transmit, or process payment card information. Pro is currently only available to US, UK and Canadian Accounts.
