Is there a limit for the number of PayPal subscriptions?

Question

I am developing an application in Ruby on Rails in which it is important for customers to create a custom subscription plan according to their needs. With some simple math I calculated over 500 possible outcome prices for subscription plans. (Shipping, products, product quantity, etc).

I've searched in paypal's documentation but found nothing about a subscription quantity limit.

Is there any? Are there any other issues I might encounter by this approach of potentially having over 500 subscription plans?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

There is no limit in the official paypal documentation but 500 products in one session is too much - this is my opinion.

If you want to create multiple recurring profiles in a single Express Checkout session must implement PayPal Express Checkout API. Follow this steps ( with two recurring payments with example ):

• First you must Pass all Profiles in SetExpressCheckout method , for example:

L_BILLINGTYPE0=RecurringPayments

L_BILLINGAGREEMENTDESCRIPTION0=Tier 1

and second product

L_BILLINGTYPE1=RecurringPayments

L_BILLINGAGREEMENTDESCRIPTION1=Management Services

• And then, after buyer has approved both in PayPal, you need to call CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile twice :

One sending "DESC" with the value "Tier 1" and another one sending "DESC" with the value "Management Services"
