Paypal CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile billing for firstmonth automatically

I need to know how to pay for the first month while calling the CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile, current situation is that I am able to make a initial payment at the time of creation of the profile, but I want to make the first month payment of the recurring payment.

My current request parameters are below

METHOD=CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile&VERSION=61.0&PWD=XXXXXX&USER=ramjio_1265317521_biz_api1.gmail.com&SIGNATURE=A1ztEX-EPedHf6p5.GxbRz1NXQj9A0lzO7zyE.0s4BzXkJhRpTZhCjxz&TOKEN=EC-0KM07981VB102461N&AMT=100&INITAMT=100&CURRENCYCODE=USD&PROFILESTARTDATE=2010-02-13T02%3A47%3A38&BILLINGPERIOD=Month&BILLINGFREQUENCY=1&TOTALBILLINGCYCLES=12&L_BILLINGTYPE0=RecurringPayments&L_BILLINGAGREEMENTDESCRIPTION0=1+Month+Free&DESC=1+Month+Free&MAXFAILEDPAYMENTS=5&AUTOBILLOUTAMT=AddToNextBilling

so the current profile shows like below

Payment cycle Monthly

Total cycles 12

Cycles remaining 12

Amount due per cycle $100.00 USD

Amount received $0.00 USD

But开发者_Go百科 I need something like the below Payment cycle Monthly

Total cycles 12

Cycles remaining 11

Amount due per cycle $100.00 USD

Amount received $100.00 USD

I'm not sure what your requirements are, but you might be able to set the profile start date to the date of the notional second recurring payment, and the "initial amount" to the amount to cover the amount of the first month's payment. It would show 11 cycles remaining (out of 11) though.

You could do something like this:

1. Take the initial payment of $100 for the initial transaction.
2. Add a trial period for a user for a Month.
3. Then bill the user accordingly as per your defined schedule of 11 cycles.
