    Hi everyone,

    I apologize for making my first post one requesting help, but i hope to be able to help other people in the future :)

    Now to the problems/concerns i'm having:

    1) I am setting up a membership site with three different payment gateways - paypal, paydotcom and clickbank.

    I am currently in the process of working out the unsubscribe system for each of these gateways, starting with clickbank.

    I have requested off clickbank a dev API key, which I have input into the correct place in amember admin, as well as my clerk key (which is read only for some reason - This could be the reason for the problem but I can't see where to get a read/write one).

    I perform a test transaction using a test credit card number from clickbank, and everything works smoothly. When I try and unsubscribe however I get a generic amember "an error has occured", im guessing because the clickbank API returned 404 for improper credentials due to my read only clerk key?

    My other theory is that because it is a test transaction the data it is trying to modify is not actually in the clickbank database, hense the error.

    If anyone has any insight into this either way or with alternative theories it would be much appreciated.

    2) Manually deleting customer accounts.

    If I have had a customer sign up, using paypal_r for a recurring service, and I manually delete the user in amember admin (for what ever reason), will this also kill the automatic payment profile set up in paypal, or will the payment simply never be asked for again by amember so it is not an issue for the end user?

    Similarly what will happen if I manually delete an account signed up through paydotcom, who as of yet I don't see have an API for managing cancellations.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Steve

    1. aMember should store API requests log in payment record (amember CP -> Payments -> Edit payment) what you have in log for that cancellation?
    2 . If you will not delete an account from aMember this will not affect recurring payments set in payment system. So users will be billed still.

    Hi Alex,

    1) There is nothing in the log regarding a cancellation, just the payment itself - I believe this is probably an issue with not having a read/write clerk key at clickbank, I just can't work out how to get anything other than a read only key.

    2) Ok, that clears that up, and saves me from having to process cancellations myself.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    I have now worked out how to get a read/write key (signed up for a clickbank master account), however I am getting the same error returned. Here is what is shown in my debug info even after attempting several times to cancel:

    I'm been having the same problem for months. Has this clicbank cancellation issue been fixed?
