recurring payment - on D7

Recurring payment -  it does not work on D7 - it works on D6

I search the forum - the only thing I found
http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/?action=goto&search=1#topic/Reoccuring-Payments-with-PAYPAL-.htm

I look - Roadmap - Tickets - 7.0.1 and 7.1 - I have not seen a ticket - for this problem

Running a pay site without this basic function !?

we need to do - only - free site - with D7  !?

It is not considered a problem that is why there is not ticket.

we can not put the pay site  -  like D6

- you find that this is not a problem !!!!?

That is not what I said, I said the issue of recurring payments is not considered a general problem (by boonex).  Since boonex doe not consider the issue a problem they do not ticket it.  We had to do custom programming for recurring memberships to work on our site.

I no longer understand BoonEx

is the most important function in managing pay site

custom programming for recurring membership - you know make this change

I read this tonight and I think it is applicable with what happened and went wrong with D7 design features:

The ultimate symbol of an organization’s approach to website management is the committee. A committee is often formed to tackle the website because internal politics demand that everybody has a say and all considerations be taken into account. To say that all committees are a bad idea is naive. However, when it comes to design, committees are often the kiss of death.

Design by committee leads to design on the fly.

Design is subjective. The way we respond to a design can be influenced by culture, gender, age, childhood experience and even physical conditions (such as color blindness). What one person considers great design could be hated by another. This is why it is so important that design decisions be informed by user testing rather than personal experience. Unfortunately, this approach is rarely taken when a committee is involved in design decisions.

Instead, designing by committee becomes about compromise. Because committee members have different opinions about the design, they look for ways to find common ground. One person hates the blue color scheme, while another loves it. This leads to designing on the fly, with the committee instructing the designer to “try a different blue” in the hopes of finding middle ground. Unfortunately, this leads only to bland design that neither appeals to nor excites anyone.

I was not aware that D7 no longer supported recurring payments.  This is HORRIBLE!  Will you make your reprogramming available to the community, say as a mod or set of instructions?  Thanks.

the question is not whether - if you like the blue - or whether I like the blue

I have a site with D6 - it has been two years -that's a lot of work (day and night ) -  and money - and - recurring payments - works well

Now I want to do the upgrade to D7 - but - recurring payments - is not available on D7

it's not like McDonald 'removes the pickles 

recurring payments - is not pickles - is a basic function

it's a big disappointment for me

I cannot share it.  We used a very customized script to achieve our purposes for a different payment processor which was not supported by boonex.  We bypassed the payment module completely as we do not use store.  This change would only be good for someone using the same revenue model and processor as we are.

I do not use the shop store -

on my site I wanted to use the payment system - allopass.com - payment by phone and credit card

What revenue model and processor - you use

If you like - I can pay

Sorry if I understand everything - but I use the translator google

I agree that recurring payments should be a basic function.  It is a disappointment to me too.  Surprised more people aren't replying to this post and making a fuss.  Maybe they did earlier in development and gave up in light of Boonex's position.  Perhaps you should let your agent know how you feel about this.

I totally agree with you - I totally agree with you - I do not understand - no reaction -

Ditto . . . recurring payments in a payment system that works is a very important factor in keeping a business running.

Of course, it is very important - how to make a pay site without this system - it is not possible - or just make a free website

Payment for members -- not working - dolphin7

i dont unterstand boonex !!

Dolphin does not support recurring payments - for subscriptions of members - Do you find this normal

Maybe have a look at Houston blog: http://www.boonex.com/unity/blog/entry/Dolphin_7_Payment_Processors

bonnex - please - help us

No one can hear you scream.

Magnusoft - must add an option for sound

I figured some that works.

Check out my post at:  http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/#topic/Reoccurring-Payments-with-Dolphin-7-.htm

Hope this helps you guys.

I saw your message - possible that it works - for subscriptions to month - 30 days - with paypal

did you try - if the status - Membership - change - in the second subscription - or if you need to do this by hand

Since this is a change to BxPmtPayPal.php, wouldn't this prevent you from using PayPal for anything but recurring memberships?  For instance, supposed you also wanted to use PayPal to sell merchandise?

is really a problem - recurring memberships - on D7 - really need professionals who take care of this problem - or bonnex

That was also my question.  I would not want store products to be recurring.

What I would really want is a mod (or having it built into the platform which would be ideal but since it isn't then a mod) that would allow me to create recurring payment options for memberships of different lengths (for instance, while my gold level membership has one monthly price which I would like to see recurring, I'd also like to give them the option of opting into a yearly recurring membership that is cheaper in the long run).  I would also like to make sure that folks are still automatically upgrading to the next level so that someone who opts to upgrade to a platinum membership does so efficiently.

This would be without screwing up store settings if I opt to allow it.

I am sure that if someone were to set up a mod that allows for multiple recurring memberships alongside one-shot pay memberships of multiple levels that plenty of folks would indeed jump at the chance to use it.  Well, I know I would and have the impression most of the folks on this and other threads would also want it.

This is exatly what most everyone wants, but it seems we have to settle for not quite so perfect system, Its a real bummer when you have so many visions and just cant seem to get them all to work as planned.

Has anyone tried this mod from the market for paypal recurring payments? http://www.boonex.com/unity/extensions/entry/PAYPAL_ON_JOIN_for_D7

I was hoping to find something along these lines within the forum itself but haven't seen it . . . with membership levels supported at the get-go with recurring payments.

Wondering if anyone's already given it a go.

for anyone interested, i contacted the amember people about their dolphin plugin and this was their response.

"We have plugin for dolphin and it was tested with Dolphin 7
Plugin costs $40 and can be purchased through this link:
http://www.cgi-central.net/cw.php?sum=40&for=Dolphin+plugin+BUU-29464-738"

hope this helps.

They just dont accept adult content! But seem to be a fair company, cheap rates too.

I would like someone to confirm that this is working for them, I would be happy to pay for amember pro and the plugin but need confirmation that it works.

same here. i might give it a go soon, if i can get all my other dolphin problems resolved.

the good news is that they offer a free trial. i talked to them a bit more about the dolphin

plugin, and they said nobody has had any problems with it yet.

Well, I paid the money. Now lets see if it works. If not I am going to have to get another community site online soon with a different script so as not to be out $220 for amember plus the plugin.

please let us know how it goes. i will be purchasing next, as soon as i get my site configured how i need it.

good luck!

I will keep you guys updated.

So far I am not impressed, First I bought the plugin then I signed up to the website then ordered and paid for the software, but my membership does not reflect any purchases, and I have received confirmations but no download links for both purchases. Maybe some of that should have been done is a different order not sure. All this was on Saturday (yesterday)

Today I made a ticket in their support system telling them I was waiting for news about my free installation and why doesnt my membership show that I bought the software. Also yesterday I sent a ticket to SWREG telling them I didnt see my download link. I dont expect them to get back to me on a Sunday but still the suspense is killing me.

that doesn't sound good. for i had been emailing a couple of people from amember last week asking lots of pre-purchase questions, and for some reason, one of them just emailed me the dolphin plugin for free. i guess they got tired of answering questions. when i started reading the readme file, i was even more confused.

i have not purchsed the software yet and i'm not sure that i will at this point. i think i'm just going to bite the bullet and have a developer build a customized script for my specific needs, using ccbill and their affiliate system.

I'm not giving up yet, it turns out my purchase from Saturday did not go through and my paypal was not charged.

So I bought it again this morning but when I filled out the installation form I gave some wrong FTP credentials. I filled it out the second time correctly with a note to disregard the first but I m not going to blame them if some confusion ensues. After all, I screwed up.

Hopefully I will have the script installed shortly on my server and be able to see how it works. I also received the plugin via email this morning and in the readme file I see that it does say "tested with Dolphin 7".

I believe the way this works is that it doesnt interact with Dolphins funçtionality so much as it just gets the member and payment info from the customer on its own and then when the payment is confirmed injects the user directly into the Dolphin database, leaving the now paid member to build their profile at their leisure. I am sure thats a noobish oversimplification and it wouldnt surprise me if I'm wrong in a few technical details. But that is exactly what i want, get the affiliate credited and get the customers money and let them play around on the site later. Then within Dolphin, let the customers who find the site naturally go the other route of doing a trial membership and then paying for advanced features as they choose to.

Í just posted a long detailed update and when I went to submit this forum decided I wasnt logged in, I am not going to do all that typing again so here goes the short version:

amember works real well for payment processing and is not too hard to install by yourself. Currently having issues with affiliate sales tracking but I did not mess with the P3P settings in Dolphin nor do I have any idea how to and I think that most browsers are rejecting my tracking cookies.

Working on it with amembers tech support.
