Does PayPal checkout support both one-off payments as well as subscriptions?

I have been paying for my domains and hosting for years via paypal and up until now I have always been able to just "pay". Now I am getting the following when I go through PayPal check-out.
"By clicking Agree and Pay I confirm that I want to use MasterCard x-xxxx for my current and future purchases with <Company> UK COM LTD. I authorise <Company> UK COM LTD to charge my PayPal account for such purchases and I instruct PayPal to pay such amounts. I understand this lets me check out faster by not having to log in to PayPal to complete my purchase. I understand that if I have a PayPal balance, that balance will be used first and that if my preferred funding source has expired or been declined, PayPal will charge my backup funding source. I can change my preferred funding source or cancel this authorisation at any time in my PayPal Account. The payments will be treated by PayPal as pre-approved payments as specified in the PayPal User Agreement." and a "Subscribe now" button.
I don't want to subscribe, just to pay the current invoice. How do I get around this?

Hi @Gizepi64,
Welcome to the community!
It is understandable that you would prefer to make a one-time purchase, rather than set up an automatic payment agreement. Typically, automatic payments work to make it simple if you plan to make future purchases with the merchant. While it might not give you the option to make a one-time payment without setting up an agreement, the agreement can be updated, edited, or even canceled at any time from your account.
I hope this helps!
