Subscriptions in shopping cart - hikashop

We have CB Subs for our membership, and hikashop for our store. We want add to our shopping cart, because we have more people buying products. We would like to offer the subscription as an option to add to their cart along with their order.

How can we make that happen?

I can set up a product and have them pay, and then just add the membership to their account, but if they are checking out as a guest can't see how to make that work?

Any ideas?

How can we make that happen?

If Hikashop has Joomla events for when a specific product is purchased I suppose you could use CB Auto Actions to give them a subscription. You'd need to check with Hikashop regarding such events.

CBSubs requires registration as the subscription is tied to the user. If it creates a user after purchase process then answer would be same as the above where you need Joomla events in Hikashop for CB Auto Actions to act on. If it doesn't create a user then you won't be able to do this.

thank you i am checking with them!

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for the info. I received this from the Hikashop developer:

I suppose they'll want to implement the events onAfterOrderCreate(&$order) and onAfterOrderUpdate(&$order) so that they can check the status of the order in $order->order_status (and for the update, compare it to the previous order_status in $order->old->order_status) so that when the order status is equal to "confirmed" they would create / extend the subscription in CB Subs.

Is there any way you can give me a little guidance on how to make it work with the Auto Actions?

Thanks!
Cheryl

Probably will just need to use onAfterOrderUpdate. My best guess is the following.

Global
Triggers: onAfterOrderUpdate
Type: CB Paid Subscriptions
User: Specific
Specific User: [var1_order_user_id]
Access: Everybody
Conditions
Condition 1
Field: Custom > Value
Custom Value: [var1_old_order_status]
Operator: Not Equal To
Value: [var1_order_status]
Condition 2
Field: Custom > Value
Custom Value: [var1_order_status]
Operator: Equal To
Value: confirmed
Action
Mode: Subscribe
Plans: SELECT_PLAN_HERE

A lot of this depends on what's available from the $order object. I've based the above example off their documentation for an order object as found below.

I can't guarantee the above will work. You may need to remove Condition 1 as well if CB Auto Actions is unable to parse out whatever "old" is. As for figuring out what is being purchased that'll have to be pulled from the "cart" of the $order object. You will likely have to use a Code condition for that since it's too deep for CB Auto Actions to convert into substitutions. The below for example might work.

Field: Code
Code: Operator: Does Contain
Value: PRODUCT_ID_HERE

I put a substantial amount of IF checks in it that may not be necessary, but since I don't know the data I don't know what to expect. The code will return an array of product IDs that you can condition against.
