Get Recurring Payments from customers’ credit card (without paypal account) and PayPal account

[olexandrman]

In first case I want get recurring payments  from customers’ credit card (without paypal account and subscription buttons) and PayPal account. In second case I want get recurring payments only from PayPal account.

Which PayPal products I must choose for first and second case apart (maybe PayPal Payments Standart or PayPal Pyments Pro or Website Payments Pro with Recurring Billing or Website Payments Pro with Automatically bill etc). And what does it cost for first case and for second case apart? I want to decide which case to choose. My merchant PayPal Account and web site are from USA. Where can i find example, template (html, js code) with fields about credit card (number,  Expiration Date, CVV) that customer must fill and send to PayPal. Thanks.

So for the second case, with Recurring Payment with PayPal account, you can use Express Checkout with Recurring Payments, see here for more details:

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/ht_ec-recurringPaymentProfile-curl-etc/

And its available to all receiver PayPal countries. 

For the first case, with recurring payments with just card, this would Direct Payment or Website Payments Pro, and that is only available to UK, US and Canadian merchants at the moment.

You might also consider Braintree payments as well though which would cover off both scenarios:

Thanks for answer. If I have Business account (by default, and not Pro), can i use Recurring Payment through Express Checkout? Should I choose or connect any options in my account or i have Express Checkout by default? Can I use this code (https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-NET-SDK/blob/develop/Samples/Source/BillingPlanCreate.aspx.cs) for creating recurring payment instead Express Checkout buttons. I don`t need use Express Checkout buttons, because I want integrate own code with own logic to my web site for handling recurring payment.

Yep, that SDK is for the REST API so will need client ID and Secret as opposed to the older/legacy API credentials. But yes you can use that for creating recurring payments through PayPal and the recurring payments piece should be enabled by default.
