Billing Agreements (1)

Deprecation notice: The /v1/payments/billing-agreements endpoints are deprecated. Use the /v1/billing/subscriptions endpoints instead. For details, see Subscriptions Integration.
Use billing plans and billing agreements to create an agreement for a recurring PayPal or debit card payment for goods or services. To create an agreement, you reference an active billing plan from which the agreement inherits information. You also supply customer and payment information and, optionally, can override the referenced plan's merchant preferences and shipping fee and tax information. For more information, see Billing Plans and Agreements.
Important: The use of the PayPal REST /payments APIs to accept credit card payments is restricted. Instead, you can accept credit card payments with Braintree Direct.
Note: The Billing Agreements API does not support the payee object.

Create agreement

post/v1/payments/billing-agreements

Creates a billing agreement. In the JSON request body, include an agreement object with the name, description, start date, ID of the plan on which to base the agreement, and customer and shipping address information.

SecurityOauth2
Request
Request Body schema:
name
required
string <= 128 characters

The agreement name.

description
required
string <= 128 characters

The agreement description.

start_date
required
string <date-time>

The date and time when this agreement begins, in Internet date and time format. The start date must be no less than 24 hours after the current date as the agreement can take up to 24 hours to activate.

The start date and time in the create agreement request might not match the start date and time that the API returns in the execute agreement response. When you execute an agreement, the API internally converts the start date and time to the start of the day in the time zone of the merchant account. For example, the API converts a 2017-01-02T14:36:21Z start date and time for an account in the Berlin time zone (UTC + 1) to 2017-01-02T00:00:00. When the API returns this date and time in the execute agreement response, it shows the converted date and time in the UTC time zone. So, the internal 2017-01-02T00:00:00 start date and time becomes 2017-01-01T23:00:00 externally.

object (Agreement Details)

The agreement details.

required
object (Payer)

The details for the customer who funds the payment. The API gathers this information from execution of the approval URL.

object (Merchant Preferences)

The merchant preferences that override the default information in the plan. If you omit this parameter, the agreement uses the default merchant preferences from the plan. The merchant preferences include how much it costs to set up the agreement, the URLs where the customer can approve or cancel the agreement, the maximum number of allowed failed payment attempts, whether PayPal automatically bills the outstanding balance in the next billing cycle, and the action if the customer's initial payment fails.

Array of objects (Override Charge Model)

An array of charge models to override the charge models in the plan. A charge model defines shipping fee and tax information. If you omit this parameter, the agreement uses the default shipping fee and tax information from the plan.

required
object (Plan)

The ID of the plan on which this agreement is based.

object (Shipping Address)

The shipping address for a payment. Must be provided if it differs from the default address.

Responses
201

A successful request returns the HTTP 201 Created status code and a JSON response body that shows billing agreement details including a billing agreement id and redirect links to get the buyer's approval.

Update agreement
patch/v1/payments/billing-agreements/{agreement_id}
Updates details of a billing agreement, by ID. The details include the description, shipping address, start date, and so on.
Note: For the PayPal payment method, you cannot update the start_date after the agreement is created.


SecurityOauth2 
Request 
path Parameters
agreement_id
required
string
The ID of the agreement to update.


 
Request Body schema: application/json
 Array 
op
required
string
The operation.


 Enum Value Description
add
Depending on the target location reference, completes one of these functions:
  • The target location is an array index. Inserts a new value into the array at the specified index.
  • The target location is an object parameter that does not already exist. Adds a new parameter to the object.
  • The target location is an object parameter that does exist. Replaces that parameter's value.
The value parameter defines the value to add. For more information, see 4.1. add.


remove
Removes the value at the target location. For the operation to succeed, the target location must exist. For more information, see 4.2. remove.


replace
Replaces the value at the target location with a new value. The operation object must contain a value parameter that defines the replacement value. For the operation to succeed, the target location must exist. For more information, see 4.3. replace.


move
Removes the value at a specified location and adds it to the target location. The operation object must contain a from parameter, which is a string that contains a JSON pointer value that references the location in the target document from which to move the value. For the operation to succeed, the from location must exist. For more information, see 4.4. move.


copy
Copies the value at a specified location to the target location. The operation object must contain a from parameter, which is a string that contains a JSON pointer value that references the location in the target document from which to copy the value. For the operation to succeed, the from location must exist. For more information, see 4.5. copy.


test
Tests that a value at the target location is equal to a specified value. The operation object must contain a value parameter that defines the value to compare to the target location's value. For the operation to succeed, the target location must be equal to the value value. For test, equal indicates that the value at the target location and the value that value defines are of the same JSON type. The data type of the value determines how equality is defined:
TypeConsidered equal if both values
stringsContain the same number of Unicode characters and their code points are byte-by-byte equal.
numbersAre numerically equal.
arraysContain the same number of values, and each value is equal to the value at the corresponding position in the other array, by using these type-specific rules.
objectsContain the same number of parameters, and each parameter is equal to a parameter in the other object, by comparing their keys (as strings) and their values (by using these type-specific rules).
literals (false, true, and null)Are the same. The comparison is a logical comparison. For example, whitespace between the parameter values of an array is not significant. Also, ordering of the serialization of object parameters is not significant.
For more information, see 4.6. test.


 
path
string
The JSON Pointer to the target document location at which to complete the operation.


 
value
object (Patch Value) 
The value to apply. The remove operation does not require a value.


 
from
string
The JSON Pointer to the target document location from which to move the value. Required for the move operation.

Definitions
Agreement
The billing agreement information.


id
string  <= 128 characters 
The PayPal-generated ID for the resource.


 
state
string  <= 128 characters 
The state of the agreement. Value is:
  • Pending. The agreement awaits initial payment completion.
  • Active. The agreement is active and payments are scheduled.
  • Suspended. The agreement is suspended and payments are not scheduled until the agreement is reactivated.
  • Cancelled. The agreement is cancelled and payments are not scheduled.
  • Expired. The agreement is expired and no payments remain to be scheduled.


 Enum: "Pending" "Active" "Suspended" "Cancelled" "Expired"  
description
required
string  <= 128 characters 
The agreement description.


 
start_date
required
string <date-time> 
The date and time when this agreement begins, in Internet date and time format. The start date must be no less than 24 hours after the current date as the agreement can take up to 24 hours to activate.

The start date and time in the create agreement request might not match the start date and time that the API returns in the execute agreement response. When you execute an agreement, the API internally converts the start date and time to the start of the day in the time zone of the merchant account. For example, the API converts a 2017-01-02T14:36:21Z start date and time for an account in the Berlin time zone (UTC + 1) to 2017-01-02T00:00:00. When the API returns this date and time in the execute agreement response, it shows the converted date and time in the UTC time zone. So, the internal 2017-01-02T00:00:00 start date and time becomes 2017-01-01T23:00:00 externally.


 
object (Agreement Details) 
The agreement details.


 
required
object (Payer) 
The details for the customer who funds the payment. The API gathers this information from execution of the approval URL.


 
object (Merchant Preferences) 
The merchant preferences that override the default information in the plan. If you omit this parameter, the agreement uses the default merchant preferences from the plan. The merchant preferences include how much it costs to set up the agreement, the URLs where the customer can approve or cancel the agreement, the maximum number of allowed failed payment attempts, whether PayPal automatically bills the outstanding balance in the next billing cycle, and the action if the customer's initial payment fails.


 
Array of objects (Override Charge Model) 
An array of charge models to override the charge models in the plan. A charge model defines shipping fee and tax information. If you omit this parameter, the agreement uses the default shipping fee and tax information from the plan.


 
required
object (Plan) 
The plan that can be used to create an agreement.


 
Array of objects (Link Description) 
An array of request-related HATEOAS links.


 
object (Shipping Address) 
The shipping address for a payment. Must be provided if it differs from the default address.

start_date
required
string <date-time> 
The date and time when this agreement begins, in Internet date and time format. The start date must be no less than 24 hours after the current date as the agreement can take up to 24 hours to activate.

The start date and time in the create agreement request might not match the start date and time that the API returns in the execute agreement response. When you execute an agreement, the API internally converts the start date and time to the start of the day in the time zone of the merchant account. For example, the API converts a 2017-01-02T14:36:21Z start date and time for an account in the Berlin time zone (UTC + 1) to 2017-01-02T00:00:00. When the API returns this date and time in the execute agreement response, it shows the converted date and time in the UTC time zone. So, the internal 2017-01-02T00:00:00 start date and time becomes 2017-01-01T23:00:00 externally.


 
object (Agreement Details) 
The agreement details.


 
required
object (Payer)

The merchant preferences include how much it costs to set up the agreement, the URLs where the customer can approve or cancel the agreement, the maximum number of allowed failed payment attempts, whether PayPal automatically bills the outstanding balance in the next billing cycle, and the action if the customer's initial payment fails.


 
Array of objects (Override Charge Model) 
An array of charge models to override the charge models in the plan. A charge model defines shipping fee and tax information. If you omit this parameter, the agreement uses the default shipping fee and tax information from the plan.


 
required
object (Plan) 
The ID of the plan on which this agreement is based.


 
Array of objects (Link Description) 
An array of request-related HATEOAS links.

op
required
string
The operation.


 Enum Value Description
add
Depending on the target location reference, completes one of these functions:
  • The target location is an array index. Inserts a new value into the array at the specified index.
  • The target location is an object parameter that does not already exist. Adds a new parameter to the object.
  • The target location is an object parameter that does exist. Replaces that parameter's value.
The value parameter defines the value to add. For more information, see 4.1. add.


remove
Removes the value at the target location. For the operation to succeed, the target location must exist. For more information, see 4.2. remove.


replace
Replaces the value at the target location with a new value. The operation object must contain a value parameter that defines the replacement value. For the operation to succeed, the target location must exist. For more information, see 4.3. replace.


move
Removes the value at a specified location and adds it to the target location. The operation object must contain a from parameter, which is a string that contains a JSON pointer value that references the location in the target document from which to move the value. For the operation to succeed, the from location must exist. For more information, see 4.4. move.


copy
Copies the value at a specified location to the target location. The operation object must contain a from parameter, which is a string that contains a JSON pointer value that references the location in the target document from which to copy the value. For the operation to succeed, the from location must exist. For more information, see 4.5. copy.


test
Tests that a value at the target location is equal to a specified value. The operation object must contain a value parameter that defines the value to compare to the target location's value. For the operation to succeed, the target location must be equal to the value value. For test, equal indicates that the value at the target location and the value that value defines are of the same JSON type. The data type of the value determines how equality is defined:
TypeConsidered equal if both values
stringsContain the same number of Unicode characters and their code points are byte-by-byte equal.
numbersAre numerically equal.
arraysContain the same number of values, and each value is equal to the value at the corresponding position in the other array, by using these type-specific rules.
objectsContain the same number of parameters, and each parameter is equal to a parameter in the other object, by comparing their keys (as strings) and their values (by using these type-specific rules).
literals (false, true, and null)Are the same. The comparison is a logical comparison. For example, whitespace between the parameter values of an array is not significant. Also, ordering of the serialization of object parameters is not significant.
For more information, see 4.6. test.


 
path
string
