Creating Recurring Payments Profiles (ACTION=A)

TRIALAMT (Optional) Amount of the trial payment, not including shipping and tax.

N OTE: All amounts in the profile creation request must be in the same

currency.

If you create a trial payment period, TRIALAMT is required. Otherwise it

is optional.

Limitations: Nine numeric characers plus decimal (.) character. No

currency symbol. Specify the exact amount to the cent using a decimal

point—use 34.00, not 34. Do not include comma separators—use

1199.95 not 1,199.95.

TRIALFREIGHTAMT (Optional) Shipping amount for each trial payment.

Limitations: Nine numeric characers plus decimal (.) character. No

currency symbol. Specify the exact amount to the cent using a decimal

point—use 34.00, not 34. Do not include comma separators—use

1199.95 not 1,199.95.

TRIALTAXAMT (Optional) Tax amount for each trial payment.

Limitations: Nine numeric characers plus decimal (.) character. No

currency symbol. Specify the exact amount to the cent using a decimal

point—use 34.00, not 34. Do not include comma separators—use

1199.95 not 1,199.95.

FAILEDINITAMTACTION (Optional) By default, PayPal deactivates (suspends) the pending profile

in the event that the initial payment amount fails. You can override this

default behavior by setting this parameter to ContinueOnFailure,

which indicates that if the initial payment amount fails, PayPal should

add the failed payment amount to the outstanding balance for this

recurring payment profile.

When this parameter is set to ContinueOnFailure, PayPal returns a

successful recurring payments profile response and activates the

recurring payments profile for scheduled billing immediately. You

should check your PayPal account for updates to the profile’s payment

status.

If this parameter is not set or is set to CancelOnFailure, PayPal

creates the recurring payments profile but does not place it in pending

status until the initial payment is completed. If the initial payment

clears, PayPal deactivates the profile’s pending status. You should check

your account in PayPal to verify the profile status.

One of the following values:

z ContinueOnFailure

z CancelOnFailure
