Rocketz Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 It would be great if Blesta could support paypal billing agreements. This way, we can drop paypal subscriptions. If someone downgrades, upgrades, adds a service, etc, you need to cancel the subscription, and have the customer set it back up again. It's a very tedious process, especially when there's something simpler available with Paypal. The goal is the least amount of work a customer has to do, the better. Customers want things to just *work* and not have to perform billing's job. Can we get this feature put in place in the near-ish future please?

Michael Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Could be added to the task I think Blesta has to cancel subscriptions on cancellations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketz Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yup, cancelling the subscription is only one part of the problem. It's also the easiest one since we (talking about all of us providers) can do it. It's just an extra step. The problem comes from when a customer edits their service in some way. It means cancelling the subscription, and really coaching the customer on setting the subscription back up, an explaining why it needs to be done this way for recurring payments. Customers mostly understand, but they don't like hearing "well, it's just the way it is with our current software" As a big goal, we should never have to make the customer do anything when it comes to billing and payments. If they want to setup a recurring subscription, they should just be able to set it and forget it. No one likes the hassle of setting up subscriptions again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 +1 It would give Blesta quite the advantage over WHMCS, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blesta Addons Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 if well i understand the billing agreement , it mean recurring subscription with undefined amount ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 if well i understand the billing agreement , it mean recurring subscription with undefined amount ? When you start one up, the client goes to the paypal billing agreement, signs in, accepts, goes back to the site. Then when you place an order it then uses the billing agreement to make the payment and you cancel it cancels it, but you use the same agreement when they make more orders. GoDaddy do it which is how I know. https://uk.godaddy.com/help/adding-paypal-as-a-payment-method-3403 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blesta Addons Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 so if i well understand in client order page when he select paypal . - he will redirected to the agreement page . - after accept , he will redirected to the order payment page . - when he click in paypal button page , normally it will not redirect them the to paypal payment page , it will just send a request to the paypal to apply the payment with the agrement . something like a merchant gateway ?
