Paypal subscription button customization

Question

I am trying to setup a paypal BuyNow/Subscribe button for my website, but cant seem to figure out if I can customize it the way I want.

The user will select one of my products on the website, and buy the hardware. The hardware includes 3 months of free service. After the three months, I would like the user to be automatically subscribed and be billed the monthly rate.

For example. I am selling a cell phone, that costs 100$. The user purchases a green cell phone, they will receive 3 months of service. After the three months, the user will be billed 20$ per month for the service fee.

Has anyone been able to get this scenario to work? If not, does anyone know of a service that would support my requirements?

You can use PayPal Subscription button. Bascially you will need to offer 3 months trial(free) peroid and charge for the remaning months accordingly.

Just login to www.paypal.com->My selling Tools->Click "Update" beside PayPal buttons. Create a Subscription button as per the below screenshot. Note: Offer 3 months trial period with amount set to 0
