CCBILL auto-recurring payment methodology

"Sorry, still don't understand. All the information you need to trigger a payment is already available in the provided functions. You don't send subscription id to a payment processor as the payment processor isn't paying a subscription it's paying a basket. The only ID relevant to a processor is the basket id. Your token should be stored as part of the basket or using cbpaidConfig class if it's reusable (see Stripe for usage of cbpaidConfig)."

i'll use the basket id, so all is good. i didnt realize this was the identifier generated before the payment is taking place.


"When it's scheduled should be entirely based off the duration set within the plan. Don't think CCBill allows for 5 minute duration so the gateway maybe forcing it to no less than 1 day duration. Based off your previous reply though it went into retry state. This causes it to retry the next day if the payment failed. It'll do that I think 5 times before giving up."

got it.
thanks

Hi
i set up the "automatic renew payment" plan with a Regular Validity duration of 24 hours (for testing purposes.)
i process the first payment successfuly, but after 24 hours all is silent....the subscription expires and is not renewed.
no indication of a basket to be payed, nothing in the history....nothing sent to the gateway
where should i start looking for the problem ?
thanks

Whatever gateway you're using you need to use their recurring API to ensure you're creating a subscription. Typically when it's time for renewal they send an IPN for you to act on to renew the subscription. If they don't send IPNs for renewals you have to use the scheduler in CBSubs to schedule for CBSubs to make an API call to trigger the renewal. For CCBill the recurring payments are scheduled with scheduleAutoRecurringPayments and paid in processScheduledAutoRecurringPayment. In addition to this you need to setup CRON to trigger the scheduler regularly; the URL for this is in CBSubs > Settings > Global under "Automation settings".

got it, i just had to activate the cron job.
