Coupons for Recurring Billing

We're running version 3.0.8.

When we create a coupon it only applies the coupon on the first month's subscription fee. From month 2 on the customer is billed the full price.

We want the coupon discount on all monthly subscription fees. Is this option available in the most recent version?

Thanks, Stefan

Yep, the new version allows you to set it to either the 1st payment, or all payments (1st and recurring). It wont let you do only recurring (2nd on).

David,

Is it possible to just replace specific files in our current installation to activate the new coupon functionality? If yes, which files to replace?

Or do we need to do a full upgrade? With a smooth running amember application including affiliate program, we're just a bit worried we may run into problems after upgrade with the many active PayPal subscriptions we have now and our JROX affiliate program integration (Version 1.6.2.58).

So upgrading from version 3.0.8 does it affect a lot of functionality? Are there any upgrade instructions available?

Thanks, Stefan

I think there were some major file changes between 3.08 and 314. You can see for yourself by downloading the update zip, and seeing the files being replaced.

Here's an ugly hack to 3.0.9.... prices hard-coded into file:

In paypal_r.inc.php in function build_subscription_params:

Code:

        if ($disc = $GLOBALS['COUPON_DISCOUNT']){
            if ($a[1]){ // first trial used, make second
                fatal_error(_PLUG_PAY_PAYPALR_ERROR12);
            } else {   // we have a coupon, apply hard-coded discount to recurring price
            	// RD hack
            	// hard-code price vals
            	$a[1] = 0.00;  	// trial price
            	$p[1] = 7;	// trial period
            	$t[1] = "D";	// trial time unit (D=days)
            	$a[3] = 60.30;  // subsciption price (67-6.70)
            	$p[3] = 1;	// subsciption period
            	$t[3] = "M";	// subsciption time unit (M=month)
            	// orig code below
                // $a[1] = $a[3] - $disc;
                // $p[1] = $p[3];
                // $t[1] = $t[3];
            }
        }

Also in product.inc.php we need to set $GLOBALS['COUPON_DISCOUNT'] to a non-zero number:

Code:

      if (count($to_discount) ) {
          $GLOBALS['COUPON_CODE'] = $coupon['code'];
          // RD hack
          // $GLOBALS['COUPON_DISCOUNT'] must be nonzero
          // $GLOBALS['COUPON_DISCOUNT'] = round($orig_amount - array_sum($prices), 2);
          $GLOBALS['COUPON_DISCOUNT'] = 6.70;
       }
