BluBilling supports two of the PayPal products, Website Payments Pro and Payflow Pro. The other products offered by Paypal are not suited for recurring billing services.

PAYPAL WEBSITE PAYMENTS PRO

The PayPal WebSite Payment Pro offering combines a merchant account as well as a payment gateway. Only the basic account is needed; add on features (including the highly limited "Recurring Payments" feature) are not needed.

Supported features list for this processor:

Country Availability	USA, Canada, and UK
Credit cards and Debit cards	Yes
Bank Draft via ACH	Not available from Paypal
Refunds	Must reference a payment less than 60 days old
Notes	Your Paypal a/c must not be flagged to require the CVV*

* As part of its underwriting process PayPal may require your business account to provide the Card Verification Value (CVV, also known as CSC or CCV) which is the 3 digit security number on the back of a credit card. PCI regulations mandate that the CVV can never be stored, hence you must contact Paypal customer service to have this restriction removed if you wish to use BluSynergy's BluBilling recurring billing service.
