How can I set up recurring payments using PayPal in Europe?

Asked 5 months ago
Setting up recurring payments with PayPal Europe is a straightforward process that can be very beneficial for businesses and individuals who need to manage regular transactions. To begin, you will need a PayPal business account, as this feature is not available for personal accounts. Once you have established a business account, you can create a subscription button or a payment link through the PayPal interface. First, log into your PayPal business account and navigate to the "Tools" section. From there, you will find options to create buttons for various payment types. Choose the "Subscription" button option. You will be prompted to enter details such as the item name, billing amount, billing cycle, and how many times you wish the payment to recur. After setting up the subscription, PayPal will generate code for the button. You can embed this code on your website or share the payment link with your customers. When your customers click on the button or link, they will be directed to PayPal to complete the payment process. In addition, it is wise to review the current PayPal Europe documentation for any updates or additional guidelines regarding setting up recurring payments.
