Recurring Payments with Website Payments Pro (US)

[cera]

Hi everyone,

According to the SupportedGatewayPaymentOperations[1] wiki, recurring
payments for this service are not available. I know that PayPal
recently launched this service in the US in February[2], so I was
wondering/hoping that maybe the wiki was out of date? If so, does the
ActiveMerchant PeepCode PDF[3] cover the implementation? If not, does
anyone have a suggestion for the next best alternative? Any help is
appreciated. Thank you, -Chris

I recently implemented billing agreements (reference transactions) for AM's PayPal NV code for Website Payments Standard in the SaaS Rails Kit (I need to get that patch submitted to the AM project), so I think it should be doable for the Pro AM code, but I haven't done it nor have I seen it done.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the responses that allowed me to sync-up with current
status of the project. I have written an implementation of this with
some commentary:
