Hi All

I have a application i want to launch with payment gateway as Paypal.
I am new to paypal payment gateway.
User will subscribe to my application. Charges for the subscription
will be monthly but amount might vary as per the usage. As per the
documents there are 2 modes of payment with paypal. Paypal Standard &
Paypal Pro. Which one should i integrate with my application.

How do i intimate paypal to charge user with the amount every month
with varying amount?
As i understand in recurring payment paypal charges fixed amount every
month. But in my case amount can vary every month.

Any help will be appreciated.

-Thanks & Regards
Anand

You might want to try this..

Recurring payments work on paypal standard as well as pro.

You might have to simply automate the PayPal payment from your end,
not automatically from PayPal's end. You can't have a subscription
that varies in price, so you'll have to do a single charge every
month, with the amount you specify. (As far as I know)

That also means that you'll have to manage the subscriptions on your
end (pretty easily doable), and there will be no way for the user to
un-subscribe from the PayPal side.

Does that answer the question?
