Downgrade subscription Issue

  • Using PayPal Pro forms, when we downgrade a subscription, I notice in paypal it cancels the higher membership first and then re-charges the initial charge to the lower package. This seems to be an error?

    Should it not charge the member again, since the member already paid for the higher package and only save the downgrade changes for recurring charge for when the actual higher subscription (EOT) that they were subscribed to actually ends/expires.

    Is this because our Paypal account is standard and not upgraded to pro yet? Any help is appreciated.

  • No. When you use a Billing Modification Form canceling the first subscription/recurring payment profile and creating a new one is the way s2Member handles upgrades and downgrades.

    Is there a way around this? It just does not seem normal when you are downgrading from a higher package that has not expired yet. Example://

    Package A – 15 a month
    Package B – 30 a month

    User registers for Package B. 14 Days in, they decide to downgrade for next month to package A. It should not click in right away but wait until the end of the Package B before going to Package A (on recurring). So the user gets the benefits of package B and what they paid for.

    I don’t know why this is left out. The way the Billing modification works right now makes no sense when it comes to downgrading.

    The standard Paypal buttons works as expected but because of the 20 percent limitation on upgrades/downgrades, we are left with Paypal pro forms.
