Setup an Automatic Payment PayPal Subscription

You must only have one PayPal subscription per service.
Before creating a PayPal subscription, make sure you do not already have an active PayPal subscription for the same Ultra.cc service. If you already have one, cancel the old subscription in PayPal before creating a new one.

If more than one PayPal subscription is active for the same service, duplicate payments or overpayments may occur. Ultra.cc cannot manage PayPal subscriptions on your behalf. Any duplicate payment, overpayment, or forgotten recurring payment will be handled according to the Ultra.cc Terms of Service.

We recommend creating the PayPal subscription at least 5 days before your service’s next due date.
If the unpaid invoice for your service is already overdue, the PayPal Subscribe button will not be available.

This guide shows you how to set up an automatic PayPal subscription for your Ultra.cc service.
This is intended for clients who previously used another payment method and now want to use PayPal for automatic recurring payments.
A PayPal subscription is a pre-approved payment agreement between you and PayPal. After it is created, future invoices for the related service can be paid automatically through PayPal.

Before you begin

Make sure you are logged in to your Client Area.
Make sure your service has an unpaid invoice that is not overdue.
Make sure you do not already have an active PayPal subscription for the same service.
If you recently changed, upgraded, downgraded, cancelled, or replaced a service, review your PayPal automatic payments and cancel any subscription you no longer need.
If you are unsure whether you already have an active PayPal subscription, check your PayPal automatic payments before continuing.
You can manage or cancel automatic payments in PayPal using PayPal’s official guide here.

Set up the PayPal subscription

Log in to your Client Area.
Click on View All next to Unpaid Invoices.
On the next screen, click on the red Unpaid button.
Then click on the PayPal Subscribe button at the top right of the page.

On the next screen, you will get Subscribe and PayPal Checkout buttons.

Subscribe - Set up a pre-approved payment subscription to automatically pay your invoices.
PayPal Checkout - A one-time payment of the invoice in question.

If you selected PayPal Checkout, you will be greeted with the PayPal login screen.

Enter your credentials there and make the payment as usual.
This pays the current invoice only. It does not create a PayPal subscription.

If you selected Subscribe, you will be prompted to enter your payment details.

Fill in the form with your card and other details. Then, proceed to make payment as usual, and your subscription has been added.
Future invoices for that service should then be paid automatically through the PayPal subscription, as long as the subscription remains active and valid.

Duplicate payments and overpayments

If more than one PayPal subscription is active for the same service, PayPal may send more than one payment. This can cause duplicate payments or overpayments.
Duplicate payments, overpayments, and forgotten recurring payments are handled according to the Ultra.cc Terms of Service.
If you believe a duplicate payment or overpayment occurred, open a support ticket from your Client Area and include as much payment information as possible, such as:

Invoice number
PayPal transaction ID
PayPal email address
Payment amount
Payment date and time
