Will the plugin have 2 payment modes, ie a choice between "One-time payment" mode and a "Monthly recurring subscription" mode available to the users?
Actually, the recurring subscriptions work already, with all renewals, but the user needs to pay the renewals each time.
Not a problem for yearly sites, but for weekly or monthly, it is.
Am implementing it right now for a customer needing it with a given payment processor.
Right now, processors are implemented for:
- paypal non-recurring (individual payments for renewals)
- swissPost yellowPay non-recurring (they don't support recurring)
- offline payments by check or so
Before release, following will be implemented:
- authorize.net (recurring payments, and maybe non-recurring)
If you have other requirements, we can do them soon after first release (payment processor interfaces are plugins to this plugin).

This also means that for the past year I have to send email reminders for their annual renewals and disable accounts (almost weekly) for those who choose not to renew. I'm looking forward to having some of these tasks managed by the plugin one day (soon? 
)
But I will, of course, need to set different expiration dates for each and every user. I do track that all in an excel file - would be awesome if there was a way to import that data somehow to enable the plugin to work for all members (not just those who join or renew after it is installed). Does that make any sense?
Right now, import option is optimized for calendar-end renewals (used it on this site), not for fixed-time type imports. But should be able to be added easily. Please contact me after release if it's not included in initial release.
