Paypal Subscription + Recurring Payment

I have some doubts about subscribing to Paypal. We have a website and we would like to provide our subscribers with a subscription function. We implemented this using the sandbox subscription feature. It is working fine. We would like to add one discount feature to our customers. In accordance with this, customers with a discount can use the site for a certain period at a discount. After the discount period, the amount will be changed to the usual amount. This requires updating the regular amount after a certain period. The user only registers a subscription for the first time. After that, the subscription should be changed to the usual amount without user intervention. How can we renew / change the subscription in order to change the usual amount after a period of discounts without violating the user. Please help me with this.

Thank..

The CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API (available for both Express Checkout and Payments Pro website users), as well as a regular subscription button ( https://www.paypal.com/buttonfactory/ ) both support trial periods in their design. This way you will not need to change / renew your subscription.

For CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile, simply follow the INITAMT that you want to withdraw immediately and set STARTDATE to a date in the future when you want to start the actual re-payment.

For the subscription button, use the button generator or pass parameters a1, t1 and p1, respectively, to add a trial period.
