Does Hika do Membership or Recurring Billing?

Hi Xavier,

Is Hikashop compatible with PHP 5.3.0 ?

I had recently updated my server to PHP 5.3, could this create conflicts with the Akeeba Subs- Hickashop integration?

Thanks, P

Parker,

Do you have assign the subscription level on you product ?
Could you post a screenshot of one recurring product configuration ?
(I think that with that one I will have all the possible screenshots for the recurring )

Yes HikaShop is compatible with PHP 5.3.

Recurring Product Configuration:

Hi,

In the file: "administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/cart.php" can you replace the code:

			if(!isset($product->subscription_level_id) || $product->subscription_level_id == '0'){
				$noRecurring++;
			}else{
				//check the subscription duration in the subscription plugin
				$subLevel[$i] = $product->product_subscription_id;
				$recurring++;
			}

			if(!isset($product->product_subscription_id) || $product->product_subscription_id == '0'){
				$noRecurring++;
			}else{
				//check the subscription duration in the subscription plugin
				$subLevel[$i] = $product->product_subscription_id;
				$recurring++;
			}

YES! Success! Thank You! Tested on live Paypal account. Working with PayPal recurring payments.

Thanks for this Xavier. Recurring payments are working with paypal which is a big deal!

However, just to follow up, the order is initially set to "created", but after the order is completed and the user has paid it should be updated to "confirmed". Is that right?

Also, the link "show your subscriptions" under "Account Info" is not responding.

Thanks again,

Parker

Hi,

The status should change to Confirmed, sometimes it takes few minutes to validate the order.
Can you check again the status of your order ?

Else thanks to see the payment log file in HikaShop > Configuration > Files to see if there is any error.

There is no pro-rating. The subscription period begins the moment that the order has been confirmed and is extended the moment the recurring notification is received, one cycle later.
So if you have a $100/a month for a subscription plan and you subscribe to it on the 10th of the month, you will be charged $100 each 10th and the subscription will be extended at that time.

That's however an option which could be added in the code of the plugins without too much difficulty if you're a developer.

Hi,

You will have to edit the plugin "paypal recurring", in this plugin you will be able to change the subscription parameters.
For the 1st period you can set a "a1" "p1" "t1" values to set a trial period, corresponding to the time of the days left in the month, and then the common values will be used with a month recurring period.

Here is the PayPal documentation:

Also could I configure a page like this with your product: www.mechaniconduty.com/signup/

Hi Xavier, just wanted to update this thread with news from Akeeba Subs. Apparently, they are scaling down Akeeba Subscriptions and eventually ending development all together. Any thoughts on this?

Hi,

Yes we heard about that. We had in mind to have our own subscription system in HikaShop.
We will talk about that with the team and see what we do before June 2014

Thanks to have shared that.

Xavier, I would love to see this feature added, until you do i will be using Akeeba, once that stops working hopefully you will have something up and running.

What would be really handy is linking it to other features also like domain sales, but that is a big ask and not something i expect you to be able to do in the short term.

Hi Xavier,

I just updated Joomla Joomla! 3.2.1 and latest version of Hikashop and Akebasubs. New installation. Started testing and got this error:

Invalid Regular period. You must specify valid values for the A3, P3, and T3 parameters for a subscription

In the file: "administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/cart.php" can you replace the code:
			if(!isset($product->subscription_level_id) || $product->subscription_level_id == '0'){
				$noRecurring++;
			}else{
				//check the subscription duration in the subscription plugin
				$subLevel[$i] = $product->product_subscription_id;
				$recurring++;
			}
By:
			if(!isset($product->product_subscription_id) || $product->product_subscription_id == '0'){
				$noRecurring++;
			}else{
				//check the subscription duration in the subscription plugin
				$subLevel[$i] = $product->product_subscription_id;
				$recurring++;
			}

Hi,

Thanks to download again the latest version of the paypal recurring plugin and install it over the current plugin by using the joomla extension manager.

And yes, thanks to apply the previous patch if you don't already have it in your code.

Do we know when Hikashop is going to be able to do this without Akeeba Subs?

Hi,

Currently we don't have decided if we will develop this, so we can't give a date.
But even if akeeba subscription is no more supported, it will be working fine as it is a stable version.

Has there been any decision yet on this topic. Now that akeebasubs support has officially ended a while ago there is afaik no membership extension that integrates with hikashop. It would be very usefull to see this functionality added. There are seperate membership extensions but that's like having 2 seperate shops on the site requiring 2 seperate accounts. That's not only redundant but it slows down the site and bloat's the code/site functions.

Judging by the fact they did not reply to my bump 2 months ago, they must still be developing it, i mentioned it at the Joomla Day in Sydney 2013 and they said it was being worked on...

Would love to hear if there is any progress or milestone of recurring payments in Hika.
We are currently investigating how to deal with this and will need to drop Hika if there is no solution soon.
ASUBS is clearly no longer an option.
