Marketplace > PayPal Subscription API Integration
I'm also interested in automating paid membership/subscriptions. I would very much appreciate any insight/service on this. Thanks so much!

I'm SO interested in this, If anyone manages this I'd be delighted to pay. (I need successful payment to change the audience that a member belongs to) Thanks in advance....

I'm also extremely interested in this. It's one of the few shortcomings with Squarespace that there isn't any readily available option to integrate paid subscription content. I've got a great Medical Spasite with thousands of members and no great way to sell a subscription portion of the site.
So how does everybody manage this right now?
Do you keep a database of account names and change the password if yearly is not renewed. What are the specifics that are needed to get this done?
Hi! I am garg. I done subscription for every month on paypal. it is recurring payment. for first time I get all details of transaction and sucessfully update customer data. Now I have problem for second time to get the payment details.
So if anybody have solution then contact me. Thanks....
I totally agree with Jeff Barson in that there should be paid subscription ability. SquareSpace has a very good audience and member system, including email templates and database ability for members.
The main thing missing is paid subscription ability for premium content/members. PayPal would be great since it is so popular and already has a subscription format.

I need a little more information ... is this what you would like to do?
1. Customer signs up and makes a payment via PayPal.
2. Upon payment clearance, login information is sent to the new customer.
3. Customer now has access to specific site pages that are not available to unregistered visitors. These pages contain data, files for download ... etc.
4. Yearly membership renewal invoice is sent to customer or account is terminated.
Am I interpreting the above posts correctly?
Best, Michele

I would use this feature too!
Has anyone figured this out? This feature would be wonderful.
also looking for member subscription service...
Michele Baer: I didn't post originally, but what you wrote is what I need to do. Except my paid membership site would be monthly and I'd like to use more than just paypal to accept payments. (One must always have a back up.) Is this possible as far as you know?
Yes, you can use Google Checkout as well as PayPal, any self contained Checkout should be fine. You're just not able to transact on the SS server, at lease not yet.
What I described above will require some steps/work on your part but it should not be a problem on the user/customer end. Transacting on the Internet, no matter how well programmed takes vigilance and work! This I've learned by experience. It can be wonderfully profitable but don't think it will run by itself ... no matter what application you use there are always issues when selling online.
Let me know if I can help :)
Best, Michele
Hi all,
I need to make parts of my website subscription based, so users could sign up to my fanclub with their email adresss, pay 5 bucks and get a years access to all my songs on a download page, special offers etc. Whats the best way to do this? i luuurve squarespace, but i need to find the easiest, most automated way of doing this.. any suggestions? Michelle - can you explain how a paypal password could be used on squarespace site, for example? Sorry, I'm not the greatest with this stuff!

Need this feature too... massively interested.
very interested in this feature also. this would be great for artists that want to offer a premium section of their site.
This must be towards the TOP of the Squarespace development list. Vital to take this brilliant system to next stage.
yup. membership subscriptions using an integrated api like paypal pro with recurring, terminations, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, just wanted to drop in since it looks like the comments on this post have gone awry.
This is a marketplace post asking for help with integrating the Paypal API, not a thread that the Squarespace development team is likely to read. ;)



Can anyone set up a recurring payment so that I can sell account subscriptions? I would like a potential member to be able to use the existing member account set up option and also be able to enter their payment information as well using PayPal. Please contact me if you can help with this, I would prefer to work with a developer who has already done this successfully and can link me to the site that they did it on.
Thanks!
