next bill date

hi,

after someone signs up for a recurring paypal subscription.

is there a way to display when is the next bill date on the site?
and when did the last bill take place too?

or is that information only available within paypal?

Hello Aaron,

I believe that info is stored in PayPal I’m afraid. s2Member doesn’t store any info regarding EOT when it comes to subscriptions I believe.

hi jason thanks for the response.
that would be helpful with estimating the next bill date by looking at the previous date. thanks.
i’m processing recurring payments with paypal and configured to have options for:
yearly, quarterly, monthly.

how would i create a php function to match the exact configuration for how paypal will set those dates?
monthly = +1 month
quarterly = +3 months
yearly = +12 months
or does paypal look at 1 month as 30 days or something?

is there a similar function to : get_user_field(‘s2member_paid_registration_times’)
to be able to get the recurring duration? e.g monthly / quarterly / yearly?

Thanks for the follow-up :-)

Nothing in s2Member® that is stored locally and accessible through an API Function, no. In order to retrieve those details you will need to make a call to your payment gateway and retrieve the details I describe here. Using the TERM and PAYPERIOD values you can get the exact information that you need.

Please see this PHP routine:

Are you running a Payflow Edition account? In other words, do you have these details filled in?
Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› PayFlow™ Account Details

that all worked.
i’m using paypal pro to charge users paypal or credit card.
fantastic. thank you so much.
