Hello,
When you open a forum thread, please provide details regarding your HikaShop, HikaSerial and Joomla version.
It helps the support team understanding your context and provide a more efficient support.
1 - The "Paypal Recurring" plugin does have a setting called "handle no recurring" ; which allows him to accept non recurring orders.
2 - You have a HikaSerial setting to indicate if you authorize non recurring payment plugin for subscription paiements.
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...uration.html#sub_adv
Depending that setting, your customers can pay a subscription without a recurring plugin and would have to renew manually.
3 - The "plan group" is something you can create via the "plan listing" in the backend ; you will find a "group" button in the toolbar.
You do not need groups for your plans except if you're using custom plugins and you want to display plans from the same groups to your customers.
The configuration of the "people get assigned to that user group" is in the tab "Plan Actions" when you edit your plan.
You'll find the "Group Subscriber" settings for that.
4 - The workflow is describe in the tutorial page :
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/2...derstanding_workflow
Creation then Renewal implies recurring payments. But if the customer use a "non recurring" plugin, he will have to renew manually via the front-end interface.
By creating two products, one "creation" and another "renewal" ; you can set-up different prices (like we do for HikaShop licences).
