Question about Subscriptions
Kimmie:
Is it possible to set up a subscription that is more than "monthly"? what I would like to do is set up "30 days, 90 days, etc), but I need to make sure that this can be done so that if someone sets this up their sub knows not to expire for that long since they will be recurring.
Arantor:
Sure you can, when you set up the subscription you can set the number and the type, type being days, weeks, months or years.
Kimmie:
Awesome! I have another question :)
I have someone who does not like the idea of having their card charged every month automatically. I know that with the host I use, I have it set up as a sub so that I do not have to worry about it, but they still automatically send me an invoice every month.
Will this service do that as well? It would make it much easier on those so that they can simply pay the invoice when it comes due instead of having to purchase a sub, cancel it before their next due date, purchase another one, cancel it, etc.
And if they cancel it before their next due date, they still have the access for that period right? like if they purchased a 30 day sub and cancelled it 15 days in, they would still have that other 15 days before it booted them out of that membergroup right?
I also have some who can not always pay the same amount every month. Not sure what I can do for them other than tell them to purchase a sub, cancel it some time before the due date, and then when it runs out, they can purchase a different one, cancel it, etc.
Arantor:
Paid subs can also be used in a non-recurring way, so people can sign up as and when and not necessarily have it automatically renew at the end of the subscription. There aren't very many good ways to handle this with PayPal so ultimately some of this is going to be down to the user to be a little proactive.
IIRC if they do cancel the auto renewal, yes it should continue to be in force for the remainder of the period they bought it for.
Liv42dayOK:
Is there an option to NOT auto-renew? I didn't see any but, maybe I'm missing it.
