Paid Link Subscriptions

[tyankee]

I can't find where to update for paid link monthly subscriptions. It seems like the only thing available is a one time payment but i know that can't be true. Can someone please point me to how to update for monthly subscriptions.

I'm not sure what you mean by "where to update for paid link monthly subscriptions".

To enable/disable payment types including some subscription payment types go to the admin panel - Invoices - Configure

yes i know that - i enabled paypal subscription on that page. but my question is how do i set up my directory so that when someone want to buy a premium link or sponsored link, they have to pay via paypal by a monthly subscription.. the only think i can see is that when a customer wants to upgrade, they only have to pay a one time fee.. and we both know that directory listings are 99% of the time monthly subscriptions, not a one time fee. I'm sure i'm just missing how to change that from the one time fee to a monthly fee..

No, we both don't know that, you're assuming that's how everyone thinks. Almost all of my directories are one time payments only, typically for six or 12 months.

If you have paypal subscriptions enabled then you're done. When someone goes to upgrade.php they are given payment choices, and if you have subscriptions enabled then you will see a button for Paypal subscriptions.

The text does not indicate recurring payments, but you can change that if you would like.

i think we just had a communications problem.. what i did was to disable all of my payments types except for paypal subscriptions. now when someone goes to upgrade, the only option they get is a subscription.. so that is exactly what i wanted. you may want o document that somewhere as i couldn't find that anywhere.. thanks.
