 * Hello, I need a subscription plugin with trial option for our Woocommerce webshop.
   In the past we tried another subscription plugin, and we needed to enable ‘reference
   transactions’ on our PayPal account. Despite we have a trustable business account
   for several years and a very big payment history they did not enable this option
   for us without giving any proper reason or argument.
 * So my question is; do we need reference transactions for your plugin to work?
   We are very stressed out, because we received a message from PayPal saying they
   were going to enable within 24h, because of that we already have some customers
   and we don’t like that we are working hard for them knowing we will never get
   the next payment. 🙁
 * Hope you can answer my question and share me your thoughts, thank you very much.

 * Hi [@leeuwtje](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leeuwtje/), A reference transaction
   is a financial transaction from which subsequent transactions can be derived.
   If that is not enabled in your account, subscription ( recurring ) billing cannot
   be done.
