Subscription payments

  1. Hello, I am using the paypal add-on for my clients site in regards to a subscription based membership. The client wants to offer two price points. one as a monthly and the other as a qtrly. However in the paypal area I don't see a way to distinguish between the two. Since the recurring condition can only be set by the individual item or by the total only. I appear to be unable to set it so that if option 1.) monthly is selected there is a charge monthly. If option 2 is selected then its qtrly. Can I set the form to do an either or scenario like in the conditional logic of the standard forms?
    Any feedback you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  2. You should be able to do this with conditions on the PayPal feed. You would create two feeds, each with their own subscription details, tied to the same form that each have their own condition that should be met to determine which of the feeds gets fired off.

    So you should be able to simply keep the form total on each of the feeds, but if they select "monthly" then the feed with the "monthly" condition fires, if they select "quarterly" then the feed with the "quarterly" condition fires.

  3. Ok thx Rob I will try it that way. I thought it would be something like that but couldn't quite visualize it. Making two Paypal feeds connected to the same does make a bit of sense. I understand about the condition options so I will let you know how it turns out.

  4. I never got around to trying this. The client changed their mind about doing it by subscription so I haven't implemented it. I will post a response if I am able to try it with another project. Thanks.
