The following table lists all the ways you can customize the Subscriptions API.
| Capabilities | What you get |
|---|---|
| Pricing plans | Set up a fixed price or quantity-based (user or seat) plan. You can also configure enhanced pricing models by setting up volume based and tiered-based plans. |
| Billing cycles | Set the frequency that the user is charged. Choose the frequency of the billing cycle and if the billing continues for a fixed time period or until the user cancels the subscription. |
| Pause or resume a subscription | Pause or soft-cancel a customer’s subscription, and easily resume or reactivate it at any time. |

| Change subscription quantity | Give your customers the flexibility to change the number of units for seat-based or quantity-based subscriptions. |
| Start a subscription on a future date | Allow customers to start their subscription on a future date. |
| Offer a trial period | Offer a trial period to let subscribers try your product at a free or discounted price before regular billing cycles start. |
| Charge a setup fee | Charge the subscriber a one-time setup fee before the subscription begins, typically for items that aren't part of the regular subscription billing like setup or onboarding. |
| Payment failures and recovering balances | PayPal attempts to capture failed payments automatically, and you can also set failure thresholds that suspend unpaid subscriptions. |
| Multiple subscription buttons | Offer more than one type of subscription on a single page of your website. |
| Update plan pricing | Modify subscription pricing for all subscribers at once. |
| Sell on social media | Accept subscriptions on social media platforms. |
