Quarterly billing option for Paypal dropdown menu?

[ivolux]

Hello Paypal gurus 🙂

I have generated paypal button with a dropdown menu for billing cycles. 

But by default there is only option for monthly or yearly billing.

Is there any what I can change this to quarterly billing option?

Thanks in advance

You have to select a number of months, so select 3 for quarterly.  So in the button generator form, under Billing cycle, there is a number drop down menu next to the month(s) dropdown menu.

Thanks sharpiemarker, But this option is only available when i generate single payment option. I'm looking for a drop down menu with mutiple payments cycles and single paypal button like this - https://www.evestinforex.com/sign-up-30-days-free-trial-pro

After some examination, your best bet is to make separate single buttons each for the yearly and quarterly billing cycle.

Would save you a lot of time and trouble, one of which is when I select the quarterly option on the example site and clicked the blue PayPal button and went to the checkout page, the terms still say "Free for the first 30 days Then $297.00 USD for each month".  Not quarterly. While the payment options under Description say, "30-Day FREE TRIAL - Quarterly billing after the trial". This'll look confusing to customers. So, no.  There is no proper way to do quarterly billing cycle with drop down menu options.

Thanks man,

Yes, this was by backup solution - use two button option.

However, I do think dropdown is more professional looking.

Can this be done using Paypal button manager API? 

Or it would be too complex endeavour just to get the 3month billing cycle?

According to this:

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/button-manager/integration-guide/#id093VD0JE0Y4

You can generally create the buttons via the API and these buttons will work the same way as the ones created by the button generator.  

Now, if you are familiar with generating the button via API, maybe it's possible to specify 90 days (see variable p3 and t3) according to the "Subscribe Button HTML Variables" found here.

Good luck!
