Can single price and recurring pmt products be handled in one checkout?

[einfohound]

I have an website design/SEO service company. I have several products, some of which are a one-time price, and some of which are recurring payments. If some of each of these products are purchased at the same time and paid for in one checkout (via PayPal), does the plugin handle this correctly? (An example would be they purchase website design and website hosting from me. The design would be one-time. The hosting would be a monthly recurring payment. Can they buy and pay for these in one transaction checkout?)

To go along with this, if I use the affiliate plugin with the e-store plugin in the above example, will the affiliate get proper credit for all products (including the recurring payments)?

Hi,

Processing a normal product together with a subscription product is not possible because the PayPal API used for subscription is different to the API used in normal product purchases.

You could create a single subscription product which might include your website design + website hosting under the same product. All you’d need to do is explain this in your product details page. Then if someone is interested they’d click the “Subscribe” button.

As an example, say you want to charge for hosting at the rate $5/month and let’s say your design cost is a one-off $200 payment.

Then all you’d have to do is configure the “Subscription/Recurring Payment Specific Settings” in your WP eStore product configuration as follows:

Trial Billing Amount = $200

Trial Billing Period = 1 month

Recurring Billing Amount = $5

Recurring Billing Cycle = 1 month

Recurring Billing Count = <leave this field empty for ongoing subscription until cancelled>
