Is zero amount transaction possible with paypal me

Question

Is it possible to do transaction with zero amount in paypal methods like express checkout or standard? I want to do auto payments in paypal express or standard methods. In which is it possible I call request and It will make auto transaction from customer paypal account like it did in Paypal recurring method. I do not want to use paypal recurring method because I am managing my own payment schedules and do not want to use its default recurring system.

I am using autorize.net CIM method also. which is working fine right now and I am calling payment request and its doing payment. I also want to do zero amount transaction in that case.

can any one help on this point?

Answer 1

It sounds like you want to be able to charge the buyer later down the road, instead of charging them immediately -- is that right?

If so, then you need to use Billing Agreements and Reference Transactions. See https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/express-checkout/integration-guide/ECReferenceTxns/ for more information.

Note that you will need to get approval from PayPal before you can start creating billing agreements.

Answer 2

NO,

You need to bypass to zero value.

Means Just do all thing proper except real payment. i.e. order entry, shipping etc. just in it your transaction id is not available.
