Body: <p>I want to know if it's possible to use Payflow Link's recurring billing option with CiviCRM.</p>
  
  <p>There is some information in the forum about how it needs to be implemented yet.. but it's unclear to me whether it's about using Recurring with Paypal Pro or with Payflow Pro. It looks like it's talking about using Payflow recurring with Website Payments Pro, which I didn't know was an option. Could someone please clarify? Thanks. <a href="https://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=29346.0" rel="nofollow">https://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=29346.0</a></p>
