<input type="hidden" name="sra" value="1">

src

Recurring payments. Subscription payments recur unless subscribers cancel their subscriptions before the end of the current billing cycle or you limit the number of times that payments recur with the value that you specify for srt.
Allowable values are:

• 0 – subscription payments do not recur
  
• 1 – subscription payments recur
  

The default is 0.

srt
Optional
Recurring times. Number of times that subscription payments recur. Specify an integer with a minimum value of 1 and a maximum value of 52. Valid only if you specify src="1".

sra

The default is 1.
