Setting specific date and month to begin Recurring Billing

[Brownie]

I would like new members to be billed the day of purchase, but, start recurring billing on a specific date and month & charged every month/30days there after. Does that makes since?

For example, today is March 16 and someone subscribes and is charged today, however, they won’t begin recurring billing until Jun 25 (that’s 3 months and 9 days later) and then charged 30days/monthly after June 25 on a monthly basis.

I am currently using the “Trial Option” and it is set up as follows <—-“$xx.xx USD for the first 3 months, then $xx.xx USD for each month.”

Is it possible to have a specific date and month for recurring billing?

I hope that made since if it doesn’t please let me know and I’ll try again. Nevertheless is there an option to set a specific date and time to begin recurring billing, sorry that I’m repeating myself. It would be a handy feature for the near future if one does not exist, but if there is a work around I’ll try to apply it.

Thanks for a great Plugin and Customer Services.

Warm regards

Hi Brownie, I understand what you are trying to do. PayPal does not allow you to set a specific date for the recurring billing start date.

PayPal suggest to use the “Trial Period” option to tweak the value to meet your needs which you are already doing.

You could write a script that calculates the remaining number of days and from that dynamically calculates what the trial duration should be to start the recurring billing on a specific date.

If you are interested I could look into doing a custom solution maybe:
