I was wondering if this module gives an ability to have recurring payments

My payment plan for my site I build is supposed to be

 

xx dollars for one month (30 days)  non recurring

xx dollars for 30 days , and autorenewed till cancelled

 

It seems I can only creates plans that  either does not expire or  expires at a certain period of time

Ximiank, The functionality

Ximiank,
The functionality you are describing is in Membership Suite, but you are using Pay to Publish. They are meant for two different purposes.

  Membership Suite has recurring payments which is good. However, there is a point what ximiank is saying, also a node publishing plan can be recurring... for example, real estate agents may be willing to publish advertisements until something is sold etc. Actually, all recurring type payment plans are good for business. I like this idea.

Recurring Payments

I agree that Recurring Payments would allow the ad keeps running until the advertiser decides to remove it or until the credit card expires at which time the customer could get a reminder to update their card information.

The customer can now get a reminder email telling them to renew.  The difference is, that requires them to take an action to keep paying rather than an action to stop paying.  It would be better if the renewal happened automatically which would mean recurring payments.  I can see value in adding this feature to Pay to Publish.

Looking forward to the next update.

Thanks,
Jamie B

Jamie,
I agree that this is a valid feature. I will work on adding this to the next major release (Pay to Publish 4) which I hope to be publishing early March.
