Description

Currently the PayPal enrollment option is a one-off payment for the cost of the course.
When students enrol in a course, paying via PayPal, it would be great if we had the option to use PayPal's subscription payment service.
So that a student's credit card could be billed every X weeks/months/years, for the amount set in the Course Settings.

Many web based information services use subscriptions as the payment model of choice and it's an effective method for the learner too?pay for the service for as long as you need it. This would be a great feature in Moodle.

To keep it simple, unrenrollment for expired/cancelled subscriptions could be done manually by the Moodle Admin (PayPal emails the admin regarding the cancellation).
