tekguru Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I've not yet uplifted to 4.1.6, but ref 'Introduces support for PayPal Billing Agreement' are we going to get any information from IPS as to how we set these up, or are we going to get no help with configuring such an important and much requested feature? A mini FAQ or tutorial is needed! IMHO of course! @Lindy any comment back at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADMAN32395 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 its referring to the new API. the new paypal setup works with recurring payments now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian K. Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 So does this negate the need for REST API key + forcing users to input their credit card? We saw a 20% decline in revenue and new subscriptions after switching from VB to IPS because of this REST API nonsense so hopefully this alleviates that.

Brian K. Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Ok so will they still need the CC for recurring subs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADMAN32395 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Just now, Brian K. said: Ok so will they still need the CC for recurring subs? If using paypal direct, it will process though paypal (through balance, cc, or any way they have setup on their paypal account) if using paypal credit card, it will process using the tokened credit card information. (if saved) , if not saved, it will invoice and they have to manually enter it in each billing cycle. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0mBb9QuGv84UjZ3blFlS2Iya3M/view?usp=drivesdk But as for saving credit card information, that is done though paypal anyway, basically all it does it checks if you have the same random token number as they do, then process that way. so to answer your question. it depends on your setup.

Thanks, updated to 4.1.6 and saw what you mean with the REST API key still being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Here is a screen shot of the same paypal gateway that now supports this, you can edit your gateway and adjust as needed. This has nothing to do with paypal credit cards, this is for paypal account payments only, and replaces the old/outdated "subscriptions" in paypal, which the old ones will still work, but new ones wouldn't until now using this new "Billing Agreements" feature in the new REST API/Paypal Gateway.

tekguru Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Okay...... @Rhett I now have Commerce set as: PayPal is showing: and So does that all look okay for my users to create purchases on a monthly automatic renewal using PayPal?

Danny Smith_526629 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi, Is there a tutorial anywhere for how to set this up? We currently have it set to invoice our customers, and we imagine that after the initial month's paid membership a very small fraction of people will renew, with the majority forgetting to or not bothering to.... Would really appreciate some help setting it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 There isn't anything to setup really other than ensuring you have renewals on your product, and enabling billing agreements as above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekguru Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Will do, might be a while as a lot of users have moved on to paying support via direct bank transfer to myself while waiting for this all to be 'fixed'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
