Subscriptions and Recurring Payments

The Subscription Manager allows you to easily and efficiently manage recurring orders. With this extension you can create recurring products for magazines, memberships and consumables of any kind. The module automatically takes care of the debiting of the customer's registered payment method.

Creating Subscription Products

With this module you can create recurring products for virtually all of Magento's product types. The following types are currently supported:

NEW: Subscription Shopping Carts

In several cases the customer always orders the same cart. The multitude of product combinations makes it impossible to register them all in your shop. It is for this reason that we have created the cart-subscription.

Besides the products created by you, the customer can put together any kind of cart combination as a subscription. While doing so, the customer also can specify the regular intervals at which he or she wants the cart to be sent. You as a merchant can also specifically exclude certain products from the subscription feature.

Management of Expiry Dates / Payment Information

In addition to recurring payments, the module takes care of the payment. In case a credit card has expired, the module automatically sends an e-mail reminding the customer to update his or her credit card information. This e-mail can be edited according to your preferences.

The module also allows you to offer payment by invoice. An invoicing module is included per default.

Configuration of the Subscriptions

You define the subscription and termination periods. Furthermore, it is up to you to define the number of days before the actual deadline on which a first payment attempt and the triggering of the order should be carried out. Concerning the costs for shipping you can specifiy if you wish to have a fixed rate for recurring orders or if the shipping costs should correspond to the shipping costs of the original order.

Subscription Management by the Customer

Your customers can easily manage their subscriptions within their customer account. Subscriptions can be cancelled and restarted.

Payment Modules

The Subscription Manager is compatible with all of sellXed's payment modules without having to carry out any adjustments:

The biggest innvovation is that you can process every payment method. This also applies to payment methods which usually can't be used for subscriptions as no payment information can be saved. In the case of these payment methods, the extension simply sends out a payment through which the customer can pay for the next period. .
