Payflow Pro Recurring Billing Service
The Recurring Billing Service is a scheduled payment solution that enables you to
automatically bill your customers at regular intervals—for example, a monthly fee of $42 for
36 months with an initial fee of $129.
You enroll separately for the Payflow Pro Recurring Billing Service. Using Payflow Pro to
define and manage recurring transactions programmatically is described in Payflow Pro –
Recurring Billing Service User’s Guide. You can manage Recurring Billing tasks in PayPal
Manager. See the online help for details.
About Security
It is your responsibility to protect your passwords and other confidential data and to
implement security safeguards on your website and in your organization, or to ensure that your
hosting company or internal web operations team is implementing them on your behalf.
IMPORTANT:To enable testing of Payflow Pro, PayPal provides sample transaction scripts
that you customize with your Payflow Pro account information and
password. Because the password is initially stored in the text of the program,
it is vulnerable.
Do not use the test scripts in your production environment. To minimize
fraud, machine passwords should always be encrypted. You must write a
program that encrypts and decrypts your Payflow Pro account password.
