The CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile response contains a Profile ID, which is an
encoded string that uniquely identifies the recurring payments profile.
For more options when creating a recurring payments profile, see “Options for Creating a

after the purchase. PayPal does not send an email receipt to the buyer, nor will the buyer’s
credit card statement indicate that PayPal processed the payment.

payments with other purchases.
