Hello HikaShop team,

I have two questions regarding your subscription system (HikaSerial or HikaSubscription):

Do you have a Fixed Expiration Date feature (e.g. subscriptions expire on 31-10-YYYY regardless of start date?

Can this Fixed Expiration logic also be combined with recurring subscriptions (e.g. yearly billing, but still expiring on a fixed date)? Or are recurring plans always based strictly on subscription duration (e.g. 1 year from signup)?

Thanks in advance for clarifying this!

Best regards,


Kind regards,
Lumiga

Hello,

There is no built-in "fixed expiration date" feature in HikaSubscription.
But the logic can be added via a custom plugin ; HikaSubscription provides all needed triggers to allow a plugin to change the expiration date of a subscription.

The main issue I have with "fixed expiration date", is all the specific behavior which can be related.
Such as "does the product price can change depending the remaining time?" or "What happen or do we authorize to buy a product the day before the fixed expiration date?".
Because of these questions, we can't add the feature directly in HikaSubscription but we provide the needed elements to allow you add your custom rules.

Regarding the recurring, the Paypal recurring allows the usage of 2 periods and 3 prices; so it would be possible to have directly recurring with fixed expiration date. But it would need to update the Paypal recurring plugin to add new parameters for such kind of multiple periods.
It is clearly something that we can add in the plugin ; but it would also need to add a new marker to make the difference between recurring plugins with can handle multiple periods, and the other recurring plugins.
