I was wondering how your shopping cart handles subscriptions? I have been trying to set up a subscription for a product and the instructions seem unclear.

1. How do you set up subscriptions?

2. Can subscriptions be done if you are not using the gateways like Authorize? I am presently using Innovative.

Thanks!

Presently I am using V 4.52.0 but will be updating to the latest soon. I am using Innovative Gateway. I understand I cannot do recurring payments for subscriptions with this gateway and you have quoted me on adding this feature - for Innovative to be able to do recurring subscriptions.

I see where it gets set up in the Product Admin but I have a few questions:

1. Can it be set that the customer can choose whether they want recurring payments? So they can have the option?

2. The day and month of the recurring payment can be set, but can it operate and recurr on the date they subscribe on instead of the day I set?

3. When the cart updates the Role, I will have 2 payments which I have set - monthly and annual - they both update the same Role but for a different length of time. Since they update the same Role, how is the best way to set it up?

4. Based on the prior question, Can that Role (Subscription) be purchased more than once? So if they purchase a monthly, can they then purchase a second one for an annual subscription and then have a duplicate Role? My customer will receive special bonuses based on their Role and if the Role is duplicated then they will receive double credit.

Thanks!

1. I will likely be going ahead with the Innovative interface for recurring payments soon.

2. Do you forsee allowing "Product Variants" being able to update "Roles"? My issue is that if I set a variant it will update the role with no problem, but if I offer "Annual Role = 365 days" and "Monthly Roles = 30 days" the variant will only update and update the one role set in the product and not the Variant. Future Plans??

Thanks!
