Please can anyone brainstorm this scenario with me? Need to look outside my own ideas incase Im missing the obvious solution!
Need to find best solution for customers to make a payment for business listings on a site, after a trial free period.
Would like to be able to be able to setup customers payments over phone as well as allow them to enter payment details online themselves.
So far, setup using Dolphin (of course) - Modzzz premium business listing module
M'boi's recurring payments module is possible for - recurring payments...
Using these 2 modules there are several main combinations available.
1 - anyone can register on site for free, but then have to select a payment package within the Listings module in order make a listing. This just uses Premium Listings, but does not allow automatic recurring payments.
Users do get an email to notify when listing term is about to expire so they can renew it.
2 - setup 'allow create listing' as a membership option, use Mbois module for Business Listings - this way you have to upgrade membership to make a listing. Payments are recurring automatically.
Free trial period available via trial membership. Problem is, if trial membership expires and user does not pay to upgrade, I think the listing and membership is deleted??? or does it just go inactive and save content...? (have to test)
Either of these options, I guess can be updated on phone, by using Deano's Tools module, then logging in as that user and adding their paypal info, plus making the payment action while on phone.
Not as clean as taking a card payment but same thing I guess....
Is there another method?
Out of these which would you think is best as admin, plus as a user?
Any thoughts appreciated :-)
Thanks
