Basically, in a custom component, already registered users (with a joomla account) would accumulate a number of debits totaling to an amount. This amount would be charged monthly. 2. We have in this custom component a table with the user_id ,the amount, the hikashop product_id. 3. we created one product in hikashop. (there will be only one product) 4.

You can find it with the "add to cart html link" button of the product edition page. You will see that you will get the product id and the product quantity in the URL. So a simple solution would be to have a product with a price of 1 cent and then enters the amount*100 as quantity of the product in the add to cart URL to redirect the users to the checkout with the product in the cart with the amount you want them to pay.
