    Hello, I am working on a shopping cart which can be used to set up a recurring payment, if user opt for. A user can purchase multiple items having varying prices. He can choose recurring payment option for each item. According to the functionality requirements, some type of items can be set only for monthly recurring payment, on the other side some of them can only be set for yearly recurring payment. For example, if user wants to set recurring payment for item 'A', he can go for 2,3,4,....12 months. But when he choose item 'B', he is only allowed to choose recurring payment for 2,3,4,.....10 years. Currently, I am sending an independent recurring payment request to paypal for each item selected by user so that the varying needs for recurrent payment can be handled. Sending individual recurring payment requests for each item selected is obviously not a good idea. User has to wait for a long time to complete all the transactions. I have gone through the API's provided by PayPal & authorize.net and also googled for the same, but did not come up with any idea to setup recurring payment for multiple items with varying amount of time in a single request. Is is possible to achieve the above functionality? We are bound to use Authorize.net & PayPal. Thanks.

        Yeah I have this problem - but I read it's because you need PayPal pro not standard - then you can use Payflow Pro features. It looks to be easier to code it on your site and send the individual items using pro but obviously it costs £20 / month. I decided to stick with getting users to pay for things one at a time. Not my favourite option, but it works. I've made up for it a bit by pre-filling as much of the forms on the PayPal site as possible. So they only have to type the majority of the data once. <-- Done using the pdt variables
