Recurring Payments and
Reference Transactions API
Operations
The PayPal API includes the following API operations supporting recurring payments and
reference transactions:
CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API Operation
The CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API operation creates a recurring payments
profile.
You must invoke the CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API operation for each profile
you want to create. The API operation creates a profile and an associated billing agreement.
NOTE: There is a one-to-one correspondence between billing agreements and recurring
payments profiles. To associate a recurring payments profile with its billing
agreement, you must ensure that the description in the recurring payments profile
matches the description of a billing agreement. For version 54.0 and later, use
SetExpressCheckout to initiate creation of a billing agreement.
