First Payment Amount / Recurring Amount

[erichill70]

Hi,

 

This may sound like a very dumb question, but I've had some problems with it when manually adding orders to client accounts.

 

Can someone help me understand the First Payment Amount, Recurring Amount, and Next Due Date?

 

The first payment amount gets invoiced at the next Cron run, and the recurring amount gets billed at the next due date and then sequencially after that? Is that correct?

 

Is there a way to eliminate the first payment amount? If I put $0.00, it generates a $0.00 invoice, which I do not want.

I posted something similar relating to zero-dollar invoices in the Bugs area, but I'm sort of wondering if anyone has suggestions or work-arounds to avoid the problem here. Sorry for the double posting!

Correct. First payment amount is used when the first invoice for the product is generated, this is when the invoice due date = creation date, after this the recurring amount is used.

No, just ensure it doesn't meet the above criteria and the Recurring Amount will be used instead.

Sorry, what criteria?

Invoice due date = creation date
