Hi there, I have a question for my website subscription service:

 

I'm wondering if there's a way to create a Paypal subscription button that I can put on my website which has:

 

A dropdown menu with different options with subscriptions that end at different times.

 

Eg.

 

Option 1: 3 month subscription for $50 (which ends after 3 monthly billing cycles)
Option 2: 6 month subscription for $150 (which ends after 6 monthly billing cycles)
Option 3: 12 month subscription for $300 (which ends after 12 monthly billing cycles)

 

All those options on the same dropdown menu on the same Paypal subscription button.

 

Is that possible?

 

Thanks!

I believe what you have in mind is possible however, the code will need a tweak or two.  You can generate the major part of the code you need using the online button creator however, don't save the code to PayPal servers as you will need to add a few lines of new code.  For learning purposes, check out the example below.  This should provide some ideas and show you the additional variable and value you need to include.

<!DOCTYPE html>

Custom Subscription Button

<br><br><br>

Notes:
<br> 
Replace "business" value with your PayPal Email Address or your Merchant Account ID
<br>
This example uses the "srt" variable with it's value set for the number of months for each option.
