Accept Subscriptions/Recurring payments with PayPal in ASP.NET & C#

With the PayPal Catalog Products API and PayPal Subscriptions API, you can create and manage subscriptions/recurring payments.

You can now model your business and product offerings in one place. Products define what you sell and Prices track how much and how often to charge.

Once you sign up and confirm your account, PayPal provides you with a set of API keys. Basically you get a “Client Id” key and a “Client Secret” key.

Logging into the Developer Dashboard to get credentials and create sandbox accounts requires a developer, personal, or business account. Each account provides different levels of access to PayPal functionality. Developer Account: access sandbox, Personal Account: access sandbox+send and receive money, Business Account: access sandbox+send and receive money+go live
