PayPal Subscription Button Dialog

Enter the PayPal Account.

Select this option if the PayPal account is a Sandbox account. A Sandbox account is used to test the process of payment before using the real account. You can check out this website https://developer.paypal.com.

Encrypt the payment details. In order to do this, you must have a PayPal account and you need to upload a public certificate to PayPal and get a certificate ID in return. Use the PayPal Encryption Key Manager to generate a public certificate to upload to PayPal. A form for submitting payment without encryption will look like this:

 

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

     <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />

     <input type="hidden" name="business" value="paypal@yourwebsite.com" />

     <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Item 1" />

     <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="29.95" />

     <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" />

     <input type="hidden" name="cn" value="Add special instructions to the seller" />

     <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2" />

     <input id="wsbppbtn1" type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" name="submit" alt="" />

</form>

 

The encrypted form will look like this (Note: The real value will be much longer):

 

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

     <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />

    <input type="hidden" name="encrypted" value="-----BEGIN PKCS7-----MIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHA6CAMIACAQAxggE6MIIBNgIBADCBnjCBmDELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxEzARBgNVBAgTCkNhbGlmb3JuaWExETAPBgNVBAcTCFNhbiBKb

    <input id="wsbppbtn1" type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" name="submit" alt="" />

</form>

Select the certificate ID from PayPal for this account if encryption of the PayPal button is needed.

Enter the item name.

Enter the item ID if any.

Enter the billing amount for each cycle of the subscription.

Select the currency of the subscripiton.

Select the billing cycle of the subscription.

Select the number of cycles for this subscription. Infinite means the subscription will not stop until it is canceled. If it is a 6 months subscription, select 6 from the drop down menu.

Offer a trial period. If the billing amount is zero, it will be free for the trial period. The trial period has only one cycle. So if you offer first 3 months free, you should set the trial period to 3 months and the billing amount to zero.

Offer a 2nd trial period. The 2nd trial period has one cycle only. For example, you offer 1 month free and then another month 20 before charging the regular monthly payment of 50. You will set the trial period to 1 month and the billing amount zero. Then set the 2nd trial period to 1 month and the billing amount to 20. On the third month, the 50 dollars will be charged.
