[#7166] PostAfPro CBsubs

Hello

I have a question regarding recurring commissions for PAP integration.

Up to now we had set New Commission both for subscription upgrade and subscription renewal in our plans and that was working fine.

We would like to differentiate upgrade and renewal in PAP and then tried to set New Commission for subscription upgrade and Recurring Commission for subscription renewal in our plans.

The affiliate id is correctly set in the basket integrations area but the transaction for a renewing subscription is not registered in PAP

Both recurring and new commissions are correctly set in PAP. We have set the recurring duration as "various" in PAP recurring commissions setting.

Do we need to set something else somewhere ?
Do we need to set the duration as "none" in PAP ? we have CBsubs plans with different durations but the same percentage of commissions for these.

Thanks for the help
Best regards
Jean

Honestly have no clue. Last time I used PAP was 2 years ago. We're simply using the below API passing the the Order ID created for the original commission.

support.qualityunit.com/197572-Pap_Api_RecurringCommission

If no original commission exists then the recurring commission probably won't work and since you're changing parameters mid-usage that is likely what's happening and will only work for new subscriptions and their subsequent renewals. The default behavior is as follows.

Subscription Upgrade: New Commission
Subscription Renewal: Recurring Commission

Thanks for the explanation, butI have also tried on the dev website with a new subscription and tried to manually renew it.

It seems that the first subscription to a plan correctly sets the recurring commission as it is correctly recorded in PAP in the recurring commission panel.

As we use the same campaign for all our plans, we have set our recurring commissions models as "varied", which means that the time for the recurring commission should be triggered by CBsubs and not by PAP

So on the dev website, I noticed that when renewing CBsubs plans, PAP does not compute any new or recurring commissions.

Would setTotalCost($value); be useful somewhere to trigger the recurring commission from CBsubs as detailed in the page you referred to ?

The point is that we need to separate new and recurring commission in PAP for computing bonus reward.

Thanks for your ideas

Aha, I think I see the issue. For renewals it's checking the wrong parameter. Try the below quickfix and see if that resolves your issue.

Yes that was it

However there is now a protection in PAP recurring commission plugin for requiring authentication when recurring commissions are triggered by API . Could you take this into account ?

Also I have noticed that if the first payment was different from the other ones, the recurring commission does not adapt, so maybe that would be better to write : by adding setTotalCost($price) as it is now supported ?

Yup, that's what the setTotalCost function is for. Have added a feature ticket to implement in a future release. Am only pausing Bootstrap 4 progress for necessary bug fixes so it won't be for awhile, but you should be able to make the change your self if you like.
