Paypal api – Subscriptions in PayPal

I am working on integrating Recurring Payments functionality in Asp.Net based application where people can subscribe to a Service where they will be paying a monthly amount. I am trying to achieve the same using PayPal’s Subscription APIs. One another aspect is where people will be making payments using their Credit Card instead of PayPal’s account. I have tried to search for a sample code where I can see that Credit Card information is passed to the Subscription API but unable to find the same. Can anyone points me to a sample code where this is implemented or guide me on how I can do this?

    PayPal does provide a Subscription only API for PayPal payments or Guest Checkout where buyer’s prompt to create PayPal personal account. To achieve a Credit card subscription I’d reckon to refer to Braintree Vaulting functionality wherein you can have both Credit Card & PayPal.

    Braintree Vault Overview:
    Our Braintree Vault securely stores customer information – including payment method information – so you can safely keep customers on file.

    The Vault is used to process payments with our recurring billing feature, and can also be used for non-recurring transactions so your customers don’t need to re-enter their information each time they make a purchase from you.

    Thanks.

    You can use subscriptions in paypal. However for that you have to make sure you have Subscription plans available and also the product. Now, the things to note here is that if you create those for paypal UI , those will get created for production rather than sandbox environment. So for sandbox testing of subscription, You will need to create those also from api. You can checkout this tutorial How to create user subscriptions in paypal using asp.net.
    This tutorials focuses on creating Subscription Plan using Api and then using that plan for creating the subscription. you can always save the subscription plans.
