Good business practices are often about establishing lasting relationships, and this often means multiple or recurring purchases, each of which requires billing and collecting. If you are <strong>selling a service or a regular supply of goods<\/strong> which requires you to bill your buyers with any frequency (say, a monthly subscription), you will find that, as your business grows and you take on more and more customers, billing takes up more and more time which could be put to better use. Setting up WordPress recurring payments is a way to automate invoicing your buyers and <strong>saving you a lot of time and effort<\/strong>.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In this article, we will show you how to use a free plugin to set up recurring payments for whatever goods or services you are using your WordPress website to sell.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Here\u2019s what we\u2019ll cover:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#what-are-the-benefits-of-recurring-payments\">What Are the Benefits of Recurring Payments?<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#how-to-set-up-recurring-payments-using-free-plugin\">How to Set Up Recurring Payments Using a Free Plugin?<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#other-recurring-payment-tools-for-wordpress\">Other Recurring Payment Tools for WordPress<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=&#8221;new-top-picks-banner&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"what-are-the-benefits-of-recurring-payments\"><\/a>What Are the Benefits of Recurring Payments?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The main benefit of setting up your account to receive recurring payments is saving time. Instead of sending each of your buyers, users or subscribers invoices for each interval, for instance, you can automate this process and invoice them monthly. They can in turn set up their accounts to pay you automatically, instead of addressing each invoice in person as it arrives. This way, <strong>a recurring payment setup saves time on both ends<\/strong>.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]The online services which recurring payments would most benefit are subscription services, such as news websites and online magazines. Similarly, maintenance services, such as building and garden maintenance businesses, may opt to charge a monthly rate instead of a per-job price. But even new media, such as podcasts and individual creators, can benefit from a subscription model.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]The more you automate, the more you <strong>reduce the slog of simply doing business<\/strong> \u2013 your customers will appreciate it.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]There are any number of premium options for you to set up recurring payments. We have elected to show you a free way to do it \u2013 all you need is a PayPal account and a free plugin. A word of warning: a PayPal account itself is free, but it does apply a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/tc\/webapps\/mpp\/paypal-fees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transaction fee<\/a> in case you are receiving money for goods and services.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;68px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"how-to-set-up-recurring-payments-using-free-plugin\"><\/a>How to Set Up Recurring Payments Using a Free Plugin?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The plugin we have chosen is <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-paypal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress PayPal<\/a>.

If you are looking to set up a recurring payment, you want the subscription button shortcode.

To configure this button, you need to change its shortcode. As is, a sale using this button means a recurring subscription for the price of 1.00 of your set currency, recurring, for one month.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]The a3 parameter defines the price.

To do that, you need to change the shortcode\u2019s <strong>name<\/strong> parameter. Simply replace My product with whatever you want to call your subscription. You can generate multiple types of subscriptions this way, as each shortcode you use generates a different button. That way, you can, for instance, offer discounts to subscribers who subscribe for longer periods of time by offering them a better deal, or create subscriptions for multiple products or services on the same page, using a single plugin.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]If you want the PayPal checkout to open in a new tab, you can do it using the <strong>target<\/strong> parameter, by adding <em>target=_blank<\/em> to your shortcode.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]And if you want to change the look of the button itself to better suit your website\u2018s design or style, you can do that by adding the <strong>button_image<\/strong> parameter to the shortcode. Simply paste <em>button_image=\u201dXXXXXX\u201d<\/em> within the shorcode\u2019s brackets, taking care not to disturb any of the other parameters, where you will of course swap the XXXXXX for the URL of your custom button image.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]There are more parameters you could add to this shortcode which might be useful to you, but they go beyond the scope of this demonstration. The developers of the plugin have outlined them on the plugin\u2019s WordPress.org page, and you can test them in PayPal\u2018s simulated environment to make sure that they function to your satisfaction.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;68px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"other-recurring-payment-tools-for-wordpress\"><\/a>Other Recurring Payment Tools for WordPress<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The plugin we used for this tutorial will serve you just fine.
