DeanClinton Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi, I cant seem to find it, but where can I completely disable paypal subscriptions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Configuration -> Payment Gateways. Find the grey text that says "Deactivate" next to the "Save Changes button on the "Paypal Subscription" payment gateway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanClinton Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 I still want to use PayPal, I just don't want to enable Subscriptions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yes. There should be two Paypal payment types, Paypal invoices and subscriptions. Enable the invoice method, and disable subscriptions as explained. If you're running 3.4.0 or better you should have both types... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted December 13, 2007 WHMCS CEO Share Posted December 13, 2007 It is in fact not possible to just disable the subscriptions button. Would have to be done as a custom modification to the PayPal module. Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Seems I'm mistaken...I thought that was possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted December 13, 2007 WHMCS CEO Share Posted December 13, 2007 As of V3.4 the seperate PayPal Invoices and PayPal Subscriptions modules were combined into one single module. If you still have the two seperate ones that just means they are left over from the previous versions but shouldn't really be in the modules folder any longer.

DeanClinton Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Ack! Bummer. I'd strip the code myself just not to show the button.. but it's encoded! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asgard Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Why was paypal invoices removed? I've had nothing but trouble in the past with clients using PayPal subscriptions and forgetting about it and being clueless about paypal. I ended up cancelling all my paypal subscriptions and having all my clients invoiced with a link to paypal to pay. It seems this is was possible in the old WHMCS but is not possible now? (ps I'm trialling WHMCS) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPH Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I believe you can just use an old paypal module. Not sure if you can disable subscriptions in the new one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I was looking into that today too. I just found out that the emailed invoice shows two PayPal buttons: one for subscription and the other for the normal check out. I don't want the subscription button to show. Matt, wouldn't be better to have the two PayPal gateways separated as before instead of combining them both? We should be able to choose not to use subscription without having to call on you for a custom modification. Less work for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asgard Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I believe you can just use an old paypal module. Not sure if you can disable subscriptions in the new one. I'm on a new installation. Is there a way to install the old module? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPH Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 If you don't have a copy, put in a support ticket and ask for it and info on if it will work properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsonwebhosting Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Same with everyone else - I'm not a fan of the paypal subscriptions. Much prefer MANUAL payments with paypal than on the subscription method - too many "oh, i forgot to cancel that" and then get a chageback 6 months later for ALL 6 months! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yabado Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I agree, plus late charges are not added to the subscription fee. Customers have no idea how to get the late fee paid. Can we have the invoice only (no subscriptions) back please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yabado Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Is there a way to hide the subscribe button on the invoice template? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbenoit Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I think the best solution would be to have a setting within WHMCS (preferably on a per product basis, but we may be one of the very few companies that would disable PayPal Subscriptions at a product level) to disable PayPal Subscriptions. This way people that want to offer it can, and people that don't want to offer it don't have to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Entrance Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Does it even hide if the product has no recurring price ? IE one time payment ? I call for the 2 classic separated modules as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yabado Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 A little bird told me this will be addressed in 3.6 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonO Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Cool, good to hear it is in 3.6. I would think you can simply delete the button in the template for now though? I don't really like the subscription system much either. I get a lot of stick from customers for all sorts of reasons for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
