eStore/eMember – Updating Available Quantity of Subscriptions

[devastator]

Hello!

I’m creating a subscription club where there will be a limited number of members (50).

When someone buys a subscription from my page, the available quantity goes down by 1. That’s perfect. Eventually, it will reach 0 and we’ll be sold out.

However, when someone cancels their subscription in Paypal, I’d like the available quantity to go up by 1, because a new slot is open. In my tests, available quantity does not update. I’d hate to have to adjust the available quantity manually whenever someone cancels. That’d be a pain.

Is there a solution already built in? A setting I’m unaware of? Or would this require custom coding?

That functionality does not currently exist. However, it might be possible to use the same mechanism eMember already uses to cancel memberships, when someone cancels their subscriptions. There are 3 possible “go forward” options:

1. Look for a suitable hook in the code yourself.
2. Use our custom coding service:

3. Add your request to the eStore feature wishlist:

Thanks for your help, wzp. I’ll add it to the wishlist for now.
