Recurring Billers Express
Checkout Flow
If you sell items or services that require charging buyers on a recurring basis, such as
subscriptions or memberships, use the following recommendations to provide a fast, easy
checkout experience for your buyers who choose PayPal. These recommendations let you
charge your buyers periodically without requiring them to log in to their PayPal accounts each
time.
Recurring Payments Flow
Place the Checkout with PayPal button at the beginning of the checkout flow on the
Shopping Cart page, which is usually the page after the buyer selects Proceed to checkout or
View cart.
When your buyer clicks the Checkout with PayPal button, they log in to PayPal and select a
shipping address and payment method. Because this information is returned to you when the
buyer returns from PayPal, you can skip the shipping and payment methods pages in your
regular flow.
