I have implemented paypal recurring payment without any trial period.
Now I need to be able have 1 month full free subscription, is that possible with trial period.
Can a trial amount for recurring payment be zero ?
Use the PROFILESTARTDATE to start the recurring payments after the trial period.

I have a problem with PayPal recurring payment because my recurring payment is set in MONTHLY but after registration, I encounter double payment. The date of my registration is July 27, 2020, but instead of the next payment will be due next month PayPal. They charge me on the next day of my registration.
Please see the below image for the email from PayPal of my transaction today.
If you set an "Every 1 month" cycle PayPal Subscription to bill immediately, the first payment will bill on the following day.
If you have a setup_fee, it will bill immediately at checkout time.
If both are happening, then you need to get rid of either the setup_fee, or the first cycle of billing.
The way you get rid of the first cycle of billing is to begin with a trial sequence of 1 month that is 1 cycle long (and has no charge)
Then, after the 1 month trial, the regular periods of billing every 1 month can begin.
i am creating paypal recurring payment i want to give addition one cycle free at the end of the month, like if you subscribe for 6 months you will get 1 month for free.
how to setup this in paypal express checkout recurring payment.
To do this, change your pricing structure. So if 1 month costs 9,99, give 6 months for 49,99. (Effective, 1 month free).
I am working on paypal API and the initial amount is less than recurring payment. But problem is at time of first payment both initial and recurring amount is deducted from buyer's account. Recurring amount must be deducted from next billing cycle.
The "initial amount" on a recurring payments profile will indeed be taken immediately. This is a separate, one-time payment that occurs when the profile is created. If the profile itself is scheduled to start on that same day, then yes, both payments would come out at the same time.
Sounds like maybe you're trying to setup a trial period..?? If that's the case there are specific fields for that in the CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile request.
Again, though, the initial amount is separate from the recurring payments. An example would be signing up for a cable service where you might pay a $100 setup fee (initial amount), $30/mo the first 6 months (trial amount/period), and then $50/mo there-after (regular amount/period).
The $100 setup fee and the first month's $30 would come out that first day.
I am using PayPal pro payments and I want to use recurring payment with this. How I can get this.
I have set Billing Period - Day and Billing Frequency - 2;
what does it mean?
Please help!
Billing Cycle for Paypal:
The billing frequency specifies the number of billing periods that make up the billing cycle.
if the billing period is Month and the billing frequency is 2, the billing cycle will be two months. If the billing period is Week and the billing frequency is 6, the payments will be scheduled every 6 weeks.
In your case,
billing period is Day and the billing frequency is 2, the billing cycle will be two day.
Is it possible to charge a one time fee (like a sign up fee) and then a recurring payment with PayPal?
I think that CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile using the Paypal API is what you are looking for. There is also more in depth in information on recurring payments.
