I'm going to show you how you can use Paypal to create a subscription buttonThis button can be placed on your own personal website so that people can easily subscribe to your newsletter mailinglist or premium content to get started log into your Paypal account Once you've logged ingo to the profile tab and select my selling tools which will bring up this page that we'reon Now look for manage my payment buttons and then select update on this my saved buttons page Youwant to click on create new button Now we can start creating your button firstly Goto this Drop down menu and select subscriptions over here You want to insert the name ofthe item or in this case subscription which you're offering For example sake I'm going to type in wellnesstips This field is for you to create your own optional unique subscription I D This is useful ifyou have to manage several different subscriptions how you choose to word Your subscription IDis completely up to you down here You need to also select your preferred currencyfor building and payment This section here is for you to customize your button Youcan choose to add a drop down menu with prices and options It will look somethinglike this If you tick this box you then need to fill up the informationfor your dropdown menu First insert a description I'm just going to use the suggested payment options for options I'mgoing to offer options for one month subscriptions Three months and six months though these options arecompletely up to you Next set the frequency of how often your customers will be charged I'm going to leaveit at monthly for now Then insert the amount they will be charged So fornow I'm going to say that a one month subscription will cost $10 3 monthswill go at $9 monthly and maybe seven U S Dollars monthly for six monthsof subscription Once you're done with this click this button here and this is how your buttonwill look on your website You can even choose to have that same dropdown menu but without the price Sothe drop down menu would only show options You can even choose to add atext field which will look something like this one This isn't too important for subscriptionsso I would not recommend including this text field When you click on this blue drop downmenu you'll be given the option to customize the appearance of your Paypal button ifyou have your own button image which you'd like to use You can select this optiondown here or you can make edits to the default Paypal button You can also chooseto use a smaller button which will look like this Or you can use the default sizebutton and choose to either display the credit card logos or remove them It's up toyou down here select the country and language for your button I'll select United States EnglishYou can also choose to change the button text from subscribed to by now I'm going toleave it at subscribe depending on how your subscription works You may or may notwant to have Paypal create user names and passwords for your subscribers If your customersneed to access premium members only content on your website this could come in handy However ifyour customers are subscribing to a mailing list where you send them information via email then youdon't need to tick this box You can also specify after how many cycles you would likethe billing to stop seeing as you've given options You may want to leave this at the default never Youcan also let Paypal know if you allow subscriptions for a trial period If you tick this box youwill need to fill up this information here Specify how much the trial subscription costs and how long thetrial period lasts You can also offer a second trial period Once you've customized all this information scroll to thebottom and click on step two Something really important which you should take note of is this savebutton at Paypal option checking this box will make it much easier for you to createsimilar buttons in the future through Paypal So I heavily recommend that you check this box youcan also choose to track your inventory with Paypal to ensure that you don't oversell subscriptions However if your subscriptionis solely digital content then this option isn't necessary unless you want to limit the amount ofpeople who can subscribe to you You can also check this box here if you wantto enable the tracking of your profits and losses So if we take this box here you canchoose to track profits and losses by items or per the options you have previously listed inyour dropdown menu Just key in your item ID and price After you've completed step two clickon the step three bar at the bottom of the page This is where you can customize your checkoutpages The first thing you can customize is whether you need your customer shipping address again If your subscriptiondeals mainly with digital content and emails you do not need to check this box becausetheir shipping address is irrelevant And down here you can specify which page that your customers will be directed toin the event that they cancel their checkout You can also specify which page your customers willbe directed to once they have completed their checkout Maybe you want to send them to athank you page or a squeeze page Even just make sure you take these two boxes and insertthe relevant U R L S in both fields And once you're done with this go ahead andhit the create button and that's it Your button is now ready on this page you'll find your subscription buttonsunique Html code What you need to do is just hit select code right click thehighlighted text and select copy All you have to do now is go on to your ownpersonal web page and paste your button code into the html Once you publish the changes your button should workfine but be sure to test it anyway to ensure it links to the Paypal payment page
