Recurring Payments and Subscriptions

Nope, not yet. : )

fwiw, this will have to be a contributed module, and my advice is to operate through a third party service to manage it all.

Ryan,

Just a quick follow-up on this comment... when you say 'operate through a third party service to manage it all', do you have any recommended services at this point? Are there companies you believe are ready (or close to ready) to handle this responsibility? Thanks.

Ahh, in fact, I'm glad you brought it up! I've actually been talking with Recurly about officially supporting them as my preferred service. They're pretty incredible. : )

I've created the project and scoped it some, will get code up ASAP: http://drupal.org/project/recurly

Hello Ryan,

Interesting. Do you have any rough indicator when you will be working on this new Commerce module integration? Or at least some bullet points of what you are planning on doing? Thanks.

Cheers,

David

As soon as I deal with these. ^_^

Hello Ryan,

Just checked that link and there are 3 left! Wow, you are good. I will review them and add any help I can. Then hopefully you will have time to work on the recurly stuff.

Cheers,

David

There's 10 now :P

Anyway, subbing.

wowsa-- the cheapest recurly would be per month is $69 (max 119) PLUS the payment gateway fees. That's an absolute non-starter for small and most non-profit sites.

Maybe I'm not understanding when you would need recurring billing-- I'm thinking of a small site that just needs regular subscription renewals yearly or monthly-- is there no other way to do this other than recurly? with rules maybe?

There are already contribs that handle subscriptions specifically through PayPal WPS and/or Rules. Not sure if we really need to leave this issue open at this point... however it works out, there's nothing that core needs to do to further support these modules.

If you are using authorize.net as a payment gateway, they have Recurring Payments called 'ARB' and you can use my project to
integrate authorize.net ARB with a commerce module.

I am creating a site for sellers. I have following requirements.
1. the account of a seller who has paid subscription for a period should get promoted for that period.
2. The total amount of money made by the seller should be visible on his profile and the profile those sellers (free or paid) who have made most money should get promoted on every page site and this should change dynamically according to the amount of money they make. i.e. If a seller makes more total money in his store than another seller whose profile(store) is currently promoted then that seller replaces him.

Thanks and Regards

Commerce now has two recurring solutions:
- Commerce Recurring a generic framework focused on the prepaid, asynchronous billing. It basically reorders a product on a set interval.

- Commerce License Billing a license-specific (digital ecommerce) framework that supports advanced SaaS billing workflows (prepaid/postpaid, sync/async, metered, plan based) for subscriptions (handled via Commerce License; subscribe to a role, set of files, etc).

Commerce Guys is sponsoring Commerce License Billing and a beta release should happen soon.
