is there a way to provide a discount of a customer selects more then 1 subscription product. For example assume three plans (a, b,c). A costs $10 per month, B costs $15 per month and C costs $15 per month.
If users selects 2 plans they get 10% discount.
IF user selects 3 plans they get 50% discount.
I only use this configuration as an example. I am open to anyway to implement this concept with regard to limitations on the plugins
Thank You

August 3, 2012 at 12:45 pm #47986sarnorealroiMemberOkay, here is another solution in my mind please let me know its feasibility. Can i use discount coupon codes in this situation “in the background”. In a way that if user select 2 plans I put 10% discount coupon code using php/javascript coding, and if all three selected i use 50% discount coupon using coding.
But problem is how i can use coupon codes using php coding in the back-end?
thanks
August 3, 2012 at 10:45 pm #47987IvyMemberOnce a subscription payment is setup it can not be modified. It will charge the same amount each month. Applying a discount in the backend will not be able to change the amount PayPal will charge.
Payment gateways are strict on recurring subscription payments. You are not allowed to change the amount that the user agreed upon at the time of payment. Otherwise you can easily get someone to sign up for $1 and then charge him $100 out of the blue. Payment gateways don’t want to allow you to be able to do that. When the customer signs up you tell him exactly what he will be paying per month and that is what the customer is agreeing to pay.

Will this work now?
August 7, 2012 at 3:06 am #47989adminKeymasterSimply create another subscription product with the discounted amount and then offer that.
Lets say,
You have a subscription product “Plan A” that costs $10 per month
You have another subscription product “Plan B” that costs $15 per month
You can create another subscription product called “Plan A and Plan B that cots $20 per month.
Now you can put them all on your sales page and the customer can choose which one they want. If they choose Plan A and Plan B then they get a slightly discounted price.
