Paid subscriptions 2CheckOut API problems...

[RobFerrari]

I populated the fields properly on the vB side with number and secret word. The subscription is being sent to 2CO fine and I get a receipt. However, vB isn't activating the subscription like it does for the Paypal API.

What else do I need to do?

Thanks,
rob

Has 2CO recently changed? I wasn't aware that it sent any confirmation back to the server.

It may not. It isn't listed under the test communications. I can live with that then if at least the descriptions sent through were identifiable. See my thread started here...

My solution before is probably better than this API, I had a link for 2CO on the subscriptions page that just went to a form handling the payment at 2CO. At least this way I would have a good description to know which subscription to add when I got the email receipt. I really think the following changes/enhancements need to be made for next release...

1) Name of subscription is put into transaction (Paypal and 2CO at least, I don't use others), not the 234SDOFOSJDFOJSD... stuff.

2) Name of user is put into transaction. Even before I would get a 2CO recepit and if email didn't match I would have to ask each user what their username was.

3) Other bug I reported before, but vB may choose to leave as is with the default time period. As I reported, when I have to manually add these 2CO subscriptions it is now defaulting to 1 minute. 90% of subscriptions will be one year and NEVER 1 minute. I realize 10% of the time I will have to edit the period, but that's better than 100%.

Thanks,

Rob, I've figured it out (finally!)

It's not a perfect solution, but it works... just go into your "subscription_payment_2checkout" template and change the line that says

<input type="hidden" name="cart_order_id" value="$cart" />

(at least that's what I think it says, as far as I can remember... if not, just look for a line with that "cart_order_id" in it)

into something like

<input type="hidden" name="cart_order_id" value="$bbuserinfo[userid]" />

That should include the userid in all 2checkout confirmation emails (it should look something like "Cart XXX" where XXX is the user id.)

You can also use any of the other user details, like $bbuserinfo[username] or whatever... it sure clears up all the confusion.

[Crazy Serb]

also, another thing to take in consideration (for the developers of vbulletin):

https://www.2checkout.com/documentation/newparameters.html

that's a notice about new parameters that are required for 2Checkout items, and I don't think you have those set up in the current 3.5.0 release yet, or in the templates anywhere...

Thank you! That helps a bunch. Now do you know a way to put which subscription the user got in the return email from 2CO?

well, I've made that easy by making all the subscriptions different amount... don't know how your subscriptions are set up.

yes, my 5 year Silver is same price as 1 year Rossa.

I guess we need to wait for VB team to incorporate these:

https://www.2checkout.com/documentation/newparameters.html

(c_prod product id, and id_type)

so we can actually set up static products in our 2co admin menu and then maybe link them through vb 2co subscription menu...
