PayPal Subscription Code for a Single Product

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment
,

Topic summary

Applying a PayPal subscription setup to a single Shopify product (Dawn theme). The store owner has PayPal-generated code for a recurring payment plan and asks where to paste it so it applies only to one product.

Key clarifications requested:

  • Whether the link/button should send customers directly to PayPal for a recurring payment checkout.
  • Whether the standard Add to cart/Checkout buttons on that product should be removed and replaced with the PayPal subscription link/button.

Alternative approach suggested:

  • If using Stripe in the EU, UK, or Switzerland, subscriptions can be offered with PayPal via Stripe for specific products. A YouTube tutorial link is provided (video is central to this option).

Current status:

  • No concrete instructions were provided on where in the Dawn theme to insert the PayPal code.
  • Implementation details depend on the intended customer flow (redirect-only vs. replacing default buttons).
  • The discussion remains open pending the original poster’s clarification and specific integration guidance.

Hi All

I have set up a subscription payment plan in PayPal which I want to apply to one specific product - not all products. Paypal has generated the code I need to include in Shopify but can anyone please advise where I should paste the code. I have Dawn theme.

Thank you

Elle

Hey, @Bandicute

Just so I understand your request properly, is this link going to send the customer to paypal to checkout for a recurring payment? On the product you want this on, are you looking to remove the add to cart/checkout button and replace it with this link instead?

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

If you have a Stripe account in the EU, UK, and Switzerland you can offer subscriptions for your with PayPal via Stripe for the products you want.
