Paypal Overage Pricing

Question

I'm using Paypal website payment subscription. I want to charge overage price from my customers when it's needed. Is that possible? I don't want to use express checkout or double modify existing subscription.

For example, I'm charging $20 each month. For only current month, I want to be able to charge $22. Still my regular payment is $20. Do I need any permission or do I need to take my customers' credit card info and use payflow sdk?

Any solution?

Answer 1

You would just need to modify the amounts you are currently setting in your subscription button. You could set it up so that it has a 1 month trial at $20, then after that it starts its regular recurring amount of $22.

Answer 2

I recently had the same question and had a call with PayPal tech support about this issue and they said there is no way to do this. I too have a normal monthly subscription that I want to be able to charge usage overages when applicable.
