# PayPal RatenZahlung (Installment Payment)

PayPal RatenZahlung appears within the PayPal wallet in a "Pay Later" category. Note that PayPal RatenZahlung does not support recurring subscriptions. Presenting this payment method in the PayPal Express Checkout Wallet requires no additional setup. If the shopper's purchase history and the items in the checkout qualify, PayPal RatenZahlung will be available as a payment method.

## How to configure

How you configure PayPal Pay RatenZahlung depends on whether you use [DigitalRiver.js with Elements](https://docs.digitalriver.com/digital-river-api/payments/payment-integrations-1/digitalriver.js) or [Drop-in payments](https://docs.digitalriver.com/digital-river-api/payments/payment-integrations-1/drop-in).
