Comment to Subscription Update on both UNA and Payment Gateway side

  • The membership vouchers module is not designed to work with subscriptions. A voucher code will just give a specified memlevel for a fixed period of time (not a periodic subscription). And it will not do anything with existing active subscriptions if any.

      Thanks for your reply. What about if I manually upgrade an existing Premium member from a monthly subscription to a Yearly Premium subscription. Will it update the subscription on the Payment gateway side (e.g. Stripe) as well?

      It's like a Premium user on a monthly plan who decided to upgrade to a Yealy Premium plan paying with Credits or Points in a middle of his/her montly subscription term. What will happen to his/her subscription on the Stripe platform? How do payment Gateways handle such a scenaio?

      Thanks

      • As far as I remember - the answer is no. A user must explicitly subscribe to a payment subscription by himself. You can not subscribe him yourself. Otherwise that would be a security problem. So if a user wants to change his subscription the he'd better cancel the existing one and then explicitly subscribe to a different one himself.

        • Thanks @Alexander . I understand.

          What do you say about this scenario?

          A Premium user altready on a monthly plan with Stripe who decided to upgrade to a Yealy Premium plan paying with Credits or Points in a middle of his/her montly Stripe subscription term. What will happen to his/her subscription on the Stripe platform? How do payment Gateways handle such a scenaio? Will they cancel the user's subscription with them? Or Will they keep on charging the monthly subscription normally?

          Thanks
