I understand that you can have one time coupons as well as coupons that affect the reoccurring billing. I have a membership that is $97 first month and $47 each month after that. So I get coupon situations like the following OK... $47 first month / $47 reoccurring - OK, 1 time $50 coupon. $77 first month / $27 reoccurring - OK, reoccurring $20 coupon Now, how do I handle the following coupon scenarios? $47 / $0 - Set as $50 Off reoccurring ? Does that $0 out reoccurring? $47 / $7 - $50 first and then $40 off reoccurring. Can it be done? $27 / $7 - $70 $40??? $17 / $0 - Again do I use $80 off reoccurring ? I guess there are two questions... If the coupon is greater than the reoccurring amount, is it set to $0? Is there a way to split the coupon at different rates? OK, while writing this I realized that I would see the reoccurring amount during signup (just kinda went blank thinking I would have to wait for the reoccurring period.)... So I am posting this for now in case anyone has any feedback and I will try to get back soon to give an update in case it is helpful for someone else. =)
OK.. answering my own questions (what a novel idea) =P 1. The monthly charge is set to 0.00. However, PayPal cannot handle a 0.00 transaction and therefore fails. 2. No way to "split" a coupon on the standard code to have different rates. You can get a little bit creative with percentages, but that really isn't split code. The PayPal plug in would have to be re-written to see when the monthly parameter is $0.00 and convert it from a transaction that has a monthly subscription to a one time 'purchase.' For that matter, the PayPal plug in should probably see when the main transaction is $0 as well and if FREE is enabled, let it be used to process the transaction. (If you try to use a 100% coupon with PayPal as your payment processor, it also fails.)
