By 30th June 2026, all PayPal subscriptions will be replaced with a PayPal Billing Agreement or cancelled.
PayPal Billing Agreements were introduced in June 2025. A single agreement covers all your services, and you can manage or cancel it easily. It’s the simplest and most flexible way we’ve supported PayPal.
As of March 2026, two thirds of clients are now using PayPal Billing Agreements. Any remaining subscriptions will be replaced with a Billing Agreement or cancelled by 30th June 2026.
We are sending regular emails to clients when there is an opportunity to replace a PayPal subscription with a Billing Agreement. We are also cancelling any PayPal subscriptions when a payment is failing or when we see that a client has paid by card instead.
This is a complex process due to varying billing cycles, multi-year renewals, and the fact that we do not have full control over the timing of existing PayPal subscriptions. We appreciate clients taking the time to set up a PayPal Billing Agreement and we appreciate your understanding.
⚙️ How do I set up a Billing Agreement?
You can create a Billing Agreement:
-
During checkout, when placing a new order
-
When paying an invoice
Once it’s active, your PayPal account will appear under Billing -> Payment Methods in your Maxer dashboard.
When a Billing Agreement is created, it will replace any previous PayPal subscriptions, so you may receive an email from PayPal confirming that one or more subscriptions have been cancelled.
🔁 What happened to PayPal Subscriptions?
Previously, we used PayPal Subscriptions to support recurring payments. These worked, but they had some limitations:
-
Each service required a separate subscription
-
Lacked control over the timing of a subscription
-
Managing many different subscriptions was unnecessary extra work
PayPal Billing Agreements solve these issues and provide a simpler, more flexible way to manage payments.
