HikaSubscription - which payment gateways are supported?

Hi guys,

Which Payment Gateways are supported for HikaSubscription ?
Quelles passerelles de paiement sont supportées par HikaSubscription ?

I saw PayPal Recurring... but what about other payment gateways like Stripe or others are supported for recurring payment?
J'ai vu PayPal Recurring... mais qu'en est-il des autres passerelles de paiement, comme Stripe ou d'autres, qui sont prises en charge pour les paiements récurrents ?

PayPal is not very merchant friendly and very consumer friendly.
PayPal n'est pas très pro-commerçants mais beaucoup plus/trop pro-consommateurs.

Merci, Sincèrement,
Thank you, Sincerely,

M.

Hello,

You can post your message in English or in French, our support team will be able to answer.

The HikaShop team recently added a new payment plugin which is compatible with HIkaSubscription recurring system :
www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/145-payment-bambora.html

It can store the customer card "token" and re-use it later. Instead of Paypal recurring which is handle fully by Paypal and notify your website, plugins such as Bambora will be handle by your store and the subscription can be "pause/cancel" directly by your customer.
Other platforms have "reusage token" system, like Authorize (but it would require some development).

Hi Jerome,

Thank you for that...

I'm in talks with them (Bambara), they are not initially very competitive with their rates but might still go with them.

So that we have ALL of the information, what companies/plugins work in conjunction with Hikashop/HikaSerial + HikaSubscription for yearly subscriptions of a digital product / access to Joomla content etc?

1. Bambora
2. PayPal Business
3. _________
4. _________

Possibly Stripe ?

Thank you!
Sincerely,

Hello,

Every HikaShop payment plugins are compatible with HikaSubscription ; only some does have the "recurring" feature for automatic renewals.

Regarding Stripe, we have several forum threads talking about the subject.
www.hikashop.com/forum/hikasubscription/...ipe-integration.html

Using Stripe for recurring paiements would be counter-productive and very difficult to manage (for both plugin and users).
We choose to not perform the development due to the complexity ; but if someone is really interested in that feature and want it, it could be done via custom development.

Hello Jérome,

Thank you for this reply but it is not very concrete...

I looked here:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation.html#hk5
and clicked on Payment Plugins and there is no classification or way to tell which ones do "recurring" feature for automatic renewals... and going through the 70-100 of them manually - to find this out is not very easy / efficient.

Since you guys are the experts, which aside from Stripe which you do not recommend or Bambora does support "recurring" feature for automatic renewals?

Thank you for enlightening us,
Sincerely,

M.

Hi,

Besides Bambora and PayPal recurring, no other payment plugin supports recurring payments.

Hi,

For anyone reading this, note that we've just released a new version of our Stripe Checkout payment plugin which adds recurring payments support for Stripe:
www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/296-stripe-checkout.html

We'll also be adding recurring payments support to PayPal Checkout in HikaShop 6.4.1.
