stazome Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 We want to give first year free hosting and then start monthly billing. So I create promotion code with following values. Type= Percentage Recurring= Enable - Recur For 11 Times (0 = Unlimited) Value = 100 Products/Services = Monthly Now issue is when client checkout system creates order without going to Paypal (merchant account) and If change value to 99 percentage then system start changing 0.xx amount monthly. We definitely need to subscribe client on Paypal for next year billing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 the quick way might be to charge a nominal setup fee, e.g 0.01 - that should ensure the client pays via paypal. alternatively, there is a Paypal addon, On-Demand Billing Agreement, that can be used for 0.00 transactions - such as this... https://marketplace.whmcs.com/product/330 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stazome Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 As per WHMCS this will be 12 As advised by my colleague, you would set this to 12. To clarify the 'Recur For' option defines the number of invoices the discount is applied to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 http://docs.whmcs.com/Promotions To have the discount only apply to the first invoice leave the Recurring checkbox unticked. When ticked the discount will apply to renewal invoices. Set the Recur For field to 0 for all future renewals to be discounted or enter a different number to specify how many cycles the discount lasts for. Please note, this is in addition to the initial invoice for the product. So if you wish to provide a discount 6 times, enter 5 in the recurring box. http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?97563-Complicated-Promotion&p=407502#post407502 http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?91855-How-to-offer-2-Months-Free-Hosting&p=386583#post386583 I still think the correct answer is 11 - but go with 12 if you wish! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
