Guest Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 One thing I haven't been able to do with osCommerce is recurring billing, where a customer buys a product/service and are billed according to the billing cycle. I wish to be able to sell services that are renewed monthly and yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy James Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 If you use paypal there is a contribution for that. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...curring+billing Wendy James Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.

Guest Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 best to use an accounting package which integrates with osCommerce, where you can setup the recurring and at the end of each month process the recurring entries, sending out the invoices. I use TurboCash for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 If you just want to notify your customers at a regular time, you could try AutoEmailer (see my signature). It comes with example scripts but you will need to edit one for your particular situation.

The paypal contrib above changes all paypal sales so theyre recurring from what I can see. I think this is the only area in which there isnt really a suitable contrib?

Guest Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 osCommerce does not do accounting, you need to do that yourself. all that is generated is the invoice from your products you sell. osCommerce doesnt give you your profit, loss, etc all that has to be programmed. which is why others use an accounting package to track all of that.

There are existing contributions that can be added to the stock osc code that does all the above. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
