PayPal Website Payments Pro arrives in the UK!
PayPal has given the UK a great Christmas present! 11 months ago I asked them when it would be available and they fobbed me off with a generic “don’t know” answer, but now Website Payments Pro is now available to UK users. This is a big deal because it allows Web sites to process payments without customers having to go via a PayPal page. You even get a ‘virtual terminal’ that lets you take credit card orders over the phone, via mail, or from ‘walk in’ customers.
Website Payments Pro costs £20 per month (after March 31, 2007) and transaction fees are 1.4-3.4% + 20p. They’ve also got a recurring billing system tied into this, which is excellent timing considering I want to switch Feed Digest to a monthly billing cycle rather than an annual one.

Website Payments Pro in the UK supports recurring subscriptions? To the best of my knowledge, the US version doesn’t, and I can’t find anywhere on the PayPal site confirming that the UK version does. Are you sure about that, Peter?
