Customize Billing Start Date

Hi,

As a PayPal Developer I know that with Payments Pro you can customize the recurring billing start date. With the pro version (using Payments Pro) is this functionality also available. (I have a customer that might need this)

Thanks..

John..

Thank you for your inquiry.

I’m reviewing this thread now.

With s2Member, you can set the start date of your subscription using the Trial functionality provided at the top of every Shortcode Generator.

The trial amount and trial period are both saved into attribute of the Shortcode that you generate here. You will need to change this amount based on the current date, which means you need to use variables in your Shortcode.

See Knowledge Base » Using Variables In A Shortcode

Let us know if you have any further questions/concerns. :-)

Bruce,

Thanks for the reply.

I saw that as well, but I don’t think that will work. The reason is that this client would have wanted the “billing” to occur on the 5th of each month. Since users come in at different dates and “join” it would have to be a variable based on a calculation. Possible with some Javascript, and fairly easy to do in a static HTML page but this gets more complicated within WordPress.. The real solution is to use the start date found in Payments Pro.

So that brings me back to my original question (reworded for what I hope is clarity): “In the Pro version that supports Payments Pro, is the Start Date functionality found in Payments Pro surfaced?”

Thanks…

No, this unfortunately is not directly supported. The way mentioned in my original reply is the only way to accomplish this.

I’ll take this as a feature request for a future version of s2Member.
