Was this information Helpful?

I keep reading that it's possible to setup paypal recurring payments with drupal/ubercart, but I can't find the settings to do so. Right now my products are all configure to use PayPal Website Payments Standard and I don't see any options to add recurring payments to select products. Please advise.

Re: Setting up paypal recurring payments

jp, by default the paypal module does not come with that option.

You may want to try the paypal buttons module for this functionality.

Re: or uc_recurring

jp's request was specifically for a subscription solution based on paypal web payments standard.

I recommend uc_paypal_buttons over uc_recurring for the following reasons:

1. uc_recurring is in a beta development phase while uc_paypal_buttons is stable
2. uc_paypal_buttons does exactly what he requires out of the box where as uc_recurring requires further manipulation to get it working with paypal.
3. uc_paypal_buttons is easier to use both from a user perspective and a developer perspective. (uc_paypal_buttons has a simple rest api to help with module integration)

I have nothing to do with either project that would bias me. I've tried both and currently uc_paypal_buttons is easier to use, and stable. If you're looking to use Authorize.net for processing then you'd look to uc_recurring payments.
