Hi, I set up google for recurring payments because it's a simple way for members to sign-up with recurring payments. However, PayPal is now requiring members to sign-up with a full-blown PayPal account, because its set for recurring payments. How can I turn off re-curring payments for PayPal (so the user isn't required to sign-up with PayPal) but still leave it on for Google? I do not want to create two seperate products to handle both. Thanks for any provided advice.
You have to create two separate products. Also enable aMember CP -> Setup -> Advanced -> Assign paysystem to a product, then in amember CP -> manage Products -> Edit Product -> Paysystem set correct paysystems for your products.
Yikes, that won't fly. That would cause to many products to manage. Is there another credit card service out there that would at the very least give the option for re-curring payments? I prefer to keep CC info out of amember database, also no monthly fee.
With authorize.net you can use CIM integration method. CC info will be taken on your site but will not be stored in database.
Thanks for the feedback. Could Google Check out accomplish practically the same thing at less costs? Looks like Authroize has a monthly fee. Could the google check out be incorporated in the CC_core once I set up a site certficiate and configure it in the way to do Notification as HTML (name/value pairs) call backs? Appreciate it a lot!
I see, if I use CC_core the credit card information will be stored on the database + it would require a SSL certficiate. Or does Google require a SSL certficiate anyways? Also, Is there any documentation/scripts to explain and show how to pass one who makes a purchase through google on to amember? Thanks
Not all cc_core plugins will store CC info in aMember. For example paypal_pro, Authorize_cim and google_checkout will not do this. With above payment plugins CC info will be requested on your site then will be sent to payment system and will be stored there. SSL certificate will be required because CC info will be taken on your site. Also all cc_core based plugins require that user should start transaction on aMember side. So user will go to aMember signup page, then will be redirected to CC info page and then after successfull payment will be redirected to aMember's thanks page.
Thanks for the response. When I configured the Google account it goes to google check out page. 1) How do I set it up for the CC_core to appear after clicking continue when google check out is used? Using CC_core sounds great because right now google is requiring a google account(less of a problem) and it mentions stuff about shipping info/cost(more of a problem because we don't ship). Keeping in mind, recurring payments should be possible.
Just enable/configure google_checkout plugin in aMember, then create products and try to signup from /amember/signup.php
Maybe I am missing soemthing here.. I must be. I have the plugin enabled and have created a product for google recurring within a particular product group to show on the signup.php. The site is not yet https, since I would like to test it first before purchasing the certficiate. I'm running 3.1.9pro. Thanks for your provided assistance!
Sorry not sure I understood your last message. Did you tryed to signup from signup page and if so what was the result?
Hi, That is correct, I selected a test subscription (configured with recurring subscription. $3 every 3 days) On the original non modified signup.php/html 3.9.1 pro version, It took me straight to google to create an account n submit credit card info, by passing the CC_core plugin. hmmm..
Sorry that was my mistake. Yes you will be redirected to google for initial payment, and then all recurring payments will be handled by cc_core. CC info will be stored in Google database (it will not be stored and will not be taken by aMember )
OK, thanks for clarrfying. I see CGI Central uses SWREG. I like it, but to bad it couldn't wrap your site template around the areas of the order page. The main benefit I see for going with SWREG rather than PayPal and Google is it will prevent one less step, setting up or logging into an existing account to pay. However, the benefit of google and paypal is they are the least expensive for credit card transactions and or recurring payments. Does SWREG handle recurring payments well?
