Hi,

I was wondering how folks handle renewals using Smith Shopping Cart. If a user wants to extend the length of the reoccuring billing near to the completion date, how is this handled?

Thanks

How are you products setup, what is the recurring billing interval and term?

My products are subscriptions that are ongoing for a 3 month term. They are billed once a month for three months and then it expiries. I'm using Smith's to allow me to do pay-per-ad with Ventrians property agent. I run a stored procedure to create an ad after payment with an expiry date set 3 months out. I'm not sure how to go about renewing as I can't pass the Ventrian PropertyID to Smith Shopping Cart so I'm wondering how I might come up with some way of making it work. Just looking for ideas of how it might be accomplished.

Thanks again.

In order to renew a subscription you need to send an update request to the authorize.net arb subscription record which is not currently built into the cart. Here are 3 possible options to update your subscriptions:

  1. Have the customer go thru the cart checkout and purchase another subscription similar to how they signed up the first time
  2. Manually update the arb record using the authorize.net virtual terminal
  3. In you stored proc you are kicking off from ventrian call a custom function that you write to update the arb record at auth.net
