Add support for recurring PayPal payments.
I use Discover for almost everything, which you all do not accept. Using PayPal to support recurring payments would allow me to use this method of payment without having to place a deposit down every couple months.

I would appreciate this feature as well!
I already had to explain your support that recurring payments with PayPal are possible. They did not believe me at first...
So please implement that.

Please vote down. Higher costs are passed to the consumer. Use Visa or MC rather than the "fake reward" cards. There is probably a reason that they choose not to accept Discover. Discover is a higher cost card and wether Digital Ocean chooses not to or they are using a bucketed merchant provider, it is not there for a reason. The only reason it works with PayPal pricing is the dupes that use debit cards and Visa's under the high cost service.

Matt, paypal has fairly normal prices for credit, just like visa or MC
Essentially the same

+3! :) Some of us get small revenue streams to paypal (ads, small freelance contracts, license sales). It is very convinient to spend them to digital ocean hosting automagically.

Almost a year later, and still no option for recurring paypal payment?

Sorry to revive an old topic, any update on this?

I'm a brand new DO user and discover, if I'm correct, that recurring PayPal payments marked "planned" here since one year are not available yet.
How come?
Please note: using PayPal vs. credit cards from Europe - like me - is usually a must-have (no bank currency exchange charges/fees...).

+1 - You can use Recurring Payments or Reference Transactions

I don't like when I have to change credit card numbers but when it happens, this is a good solution because I know my bill will get taken care of by paypal even if I didn't update the credit card with paypal. My secondary payment option on paypal reoccurring payments is my bank account. so digitialocean would be guaranteed to get paid.

It's very easy to implement recurring PayPal transactions, it's a minimal change from how you do it today: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/ht_ec-refTrans-SetEC-DoRefTrans-curl-etc/

Because you don't get an invoice for the one-time payments it's a nightmare for book keeping!
