Error

PayPal itself doesn’t allow to change the terms of an existing subscription, so to “change” it it needs to be replaced with a new one. Since s2Member doesn’t know the EOT of the existing subscription, it can’t figure out the paid time left.

For this kind of change, you’d have to use a bit of PHP to estimate the time the user has left (similar to the need to have EOT notifications) and add it to the shortcode’s initial term without charge, so the next regular payment of the new subscription happens after the already paid time. Knowledge Base » Using Variables In A Shortcode

I understand that I need to add the remaining days of the current subscription to the beginning of the new subscription.

But if your plugin simply gave the following data:
1. The number of days (or date) of the next payment for the current level.
2. EOT for Buy Now.
3. EOT (if the user cancel your subscription) for the current level.
(2 and 3 – should be in different variables. It is very bad that one value removes other.)

It would be much simpler.

—————

Of course, I can make a request directly to Paypal, but modify subscription form is opened with a delay (5-10 seconds, while there is a call to Paypal).
Plus, if Paypal will change settings, my script will work correctly (I will have all the time to control it myself).
Plus, I’m not sure that my script will work correctly in all cases (and you does not want to give correct the script).

All these issues say that your plugin does not do functions that expects.

Is this also works for Payflow, or do I need a different code for a Payflow?

I don’t understand the question.

2. PayPal Pro (PayFlow Edition) (aka: PayPal® Payments Pro) – this is what s2Member supports with respect to PayFlow. This type of account offers both of the API flavors. You can integrate with the PayPal Pro API, or with the PayFlow API.

If I sign up for PayPal Pro (PayFlow Edition) , is this API request will work without any modifications?

Or do I need to use PayFlow API? Why use two different API? Paypal is going to transfer its service to PayFlow API?

If I’m not mistaken, it could notify a hack that uses the wp-loaded hook and then check the EOT time with get_user_field.

I can see only $s2member_auto_eot_time = get_user_field (“s2member_auto_eot_time”);
But how can I know is this EOT for current lavel ot it is EOT for Buy Now?
How do I know EOT for the current level to which you have access, not Buy Now EOT?

boudewijn lutgerink, you carefully read my questions?

I bought a plugin. In advertising has been written that it supports the ability to unsubscribe and modify subscriptions. But in fact, these functions do not work. Plugin developers offer me finish myself these basic features.

I do not want to become an expert in how your plugin work. I just do not want any trouble that you plugin can deliver to me. I want to install it and forget it.

Please do not make me repeat the same question over and over again. Just give me a clear answer, which I have to do to get everything working as it should.

Hi!

If the user cancels his subscription and EOT has value set the end of the year, then made a Buy Now for two years, how will I know EOT of subscription that has been canceled?

What if I have only Lavels and subscription time may depending on various promotions held on the site (1year, 2 year…), how can I get the length of the terms that a user has a subscription?

If the EOT time is set, you can get it with get_user_field. http://www.s2member.com/codex/stable/s2member/api_functions/package-functions/#src_doc_get_user_field%28%29

But if the EOT is not set, how can I get it?

Thanks for the reply!

Please tell me, how can I get the time that remains until the end of the user’s account in case he makes modification and in case he had previously made cancellation?
