PayPal billing agreements REST API - how to start immediately

Question

How can I start charging a user the user immediately for a PayPal billing agreement?

Here\'s what I\'ve got so far.

1. Create a Billing Plan (POST .../payment

Answer 1

I've talked to a PayPal rep and found that start_date must be tomorrow or later. They are going to add this to the docs.

If you want to start monthly billing immediately you might be able to do it by setting the start date to be in one months time and charging a setup fee to cover the first month. I haven't tested this as it's not what I want.
