Does paypal support plans one time payment?

[tbhaxor1]

PayPal allows creating plans with recurring amounts and billing cycles. Is there any way to create the prices or plans for one time to provide life time deal (pay once and use forever)

Yes it does support a plan, for this you would have to set total_cycles property to 1, instead of 0

I have a very similar scenario, and I wonder if it is supported, and whether there are any obvious drawbacks to my approach. I'm offering a wide range of services, some are period based, other are 'one time' services. I'm wondering if I could use a subscription plan configured to just a one time payment to handle this, and with that simplifying our product management on paypal through just that interface.
