PayPal is a payment processor that supports monthly donations. It can also be used to process installment payments. If you use PayPal Express Checkout you must have a business account.

📌 Note: When using PayPal Express Checkout, the donor will complete the transaction on the PayPal website. Donors will have to log into their own PayPal account or create a new PayPal account to complete the transaction.

After you connect PayPal to your donation page and enable installment payments or monthly payments, you will be able to manage all recurring payments in your PayPal account. To keep track of real-time recurring donations processed in PayPal, configure your account to accept instant payment notifications (IPN).
