Updating Recurring Payments

Profiles

You can update a recurring payments profile by sending a subset of the profile parameters in a

request to modify the profile.

N OTE: You can only update active or deactivated (suspended) profiles.

You can only update specific information about the profile, including the following:

z Subscriber name or address (see Updating Addresses)

z Additional billing cycles

z Billing amount, tax amount, or shipping amount (see Updating Addresses)

z Past due or outstanding amount

z Whether to bill the outstanding amount with the next billing cycle

z Maximum number of failed payments allowed

z Buyer’s credit card information (see Updating Addresses for a restriction)

z Profile description and reference

N OTE: You cannot modify the payment period (PAYPERIOD) of a profile.

N OTE: For recurring payments with Express Checkout, certain updates, such as billing

amount, are not allowed within 3 days of the scheduled billing date, and an error is

returned.

Updating Addresses

When you update the following addresses, you must enter all of address fields, not just those

that are changing:

z Subscriber shipping address

z Credit card billing address

If, for example, you want to update the street address for shipping, you must specify all of the

shipping address fields listed in Table 8.1 in Chapter 8, “Recurring Payments Reference,” not

just the SHIPTOSTREET parameter.
