# PayPal Billing Agreement

Consumers can use their PayPal accounts to make recurring subscription payments. Consumers have the option to choose to auto-renew or manually renew.  

## How to configure 

Configuring the PayPal Billing Agreement depends on whether you use [DigitalRiver.js with Elements](https://docs.digitalriver.com/commerce-api/payments/payments-solutions/digitalriver.js) or[ Drop-in payments](https://docs.digitalriver.com/commerce-api/payments/payments-solutions/drop-in).
