Recurring Charges - Subscription Total Number of Payments

Post by jake.pretot » Mon Mar 09, 2009 7:28 am

Hello-

We are used to scheduling recurring payments for monthly subscription to not have an end date. Customers are signing up for a subscription product that is only month to month, not for a 1 year subscription. Can the AC handle this situation?

Yes possible. When marking a product available as subscription provide payment frequency for 1 month and don't specify number of total payments.

Thanks for the reply Mazhar, but this does not work. Check the image I have attached. This option or the other for a recurring charge without initial payment, both require a total number of payments. Just to let you know, we have the updated dll that fixed the sort order problem, not sure if that behaves differently.

hmm, well in this case you can either specify a value of 999 it would almost have a quite similar effect because 999 months means a great time span or you can try by removing the validation. I think the first one would be a better.

Entering 999 is not a good solution because then it displays 999 for the number of months of payments on the customer receipt. That's actually what I had to do, but then had to find every place where it was displayed and alter the text to not display the number of payments, making it more generic. I don't know about the other option, will have to investigate.
