Hika Market and Coupon Option

-- HikaShop version -- : 4.2.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.9.12
-- PHP version -- : 7.1

Hi,
From previous discussions we've had, I believe I need to add HikaMarket for one half of what I'm looking to do.

First, I have a monthly product that uses Hika Serial for renewals. I want to create a coupon code that will only be good for the initial sign-up and will give the customer the service free for the first twelve months. After that, the product will renew automatically and bill monthly. The only part of this I don't know how to do is the code needed to give the customer the first 12 months for free.

Second, I want to use HikaMarket to send 80% of the payment to the site owner and 20% of the payment to a second party both using PayPal.

Please advise as I will need to purchase HikaMarket if this cannot be done w/o that product.

Thank you.

As I'm working on this I realize I should clarify something…

The main goal here is to have a user sign-up for free, capture their payment method through PayPal and get them into a recurring payment plan without them paying for the first 12 months. What I've noticed while testing is that if the product is entirely free through a discount or such, HikaShop doesn't ask for any payment info. So I'm thinking the cost may have to be 1¢ or $1 in order to capture their payment info.

The trick is that the renewal price needs to be for 1 month whereas the discount needs to be for 1 year or 1 year minus 1¢, However that will work.

I apologize… I've been working long hours and just realized that we previously established recurring payments through HikaSerial and multi-vendors through HikaMarket are not compatible.

So after struggling with this problem for the past day, I've come up with a partial solution. I can't get create a monthly subscription that gives twelve months free and then renews normally at full price. Instead, I created an annual subscription (the client still prefers monthly though) for $1. I created a second product for .99¢. When the visitor places both items into their cart, they have to pay 1¢ for their initial purchase and are alerted that the subscription will renew at full price. That's all perfect.

Understanding that HikaMarket is not an option with recurring payments, is it possible to split the payment between the site owner and one other single account for all transactions or will the site owner simply need to pay the second party?

Please advise as I'm in need of making this happen one way or another.

Best Regards.

Thank you. And with regard to a monthly subscription. Have I missed anything? Is there a way to create a monthly subscription that (A) takes the users' Payment information at the time of sign-up (if the cart is $0 it seems to skip that step) and ( renews with no cost for 12 months and then full price after that?

best Regards,

John

Hi, I'm getting ready to implement some coupons and I want to confirm that this will work correctly…

I've created a coupon code that discounts the product by $10.98. So the first payment of a monthly recurring product goes from $10.99 down to 1¢ after the coupon is added.

I've confirmed that this all works through the cart. I select the service, enter the code, receive the discount, see the 1¢ total due along with the message "Recurring payment each 1 month(s)", and can place the order.

When the order renews in one month and every month after that, it should renew for the full amount of $10.99.

Is this what I can expect? My fear is that it will renew for 1¢.

Thank you.
