Account upgrades question

[Robby]

How do you guys deal with promotions.

For example: If i want to sell a premium membership with a discount. So i make an account upgrade in the acp but what if the date is expired?
Normal price for example is 20 dollar, for one month you can purchase premium for 10 dollars. Members who purchase this have the benefit of a discount price for always.
You have to remove the button after the discount period is over. Will the recurring payments still work?

I researched this once before:

I haven't actually tested it, but I did go through the code and upgrade records. XenForo records the price paid at the time of purchase and uses that information in validating subsequent recurring payments. It should be handled, though I haven't actually setup a test case.

But yeah... it's best to create a new upgrade for price changes just to keep things clean.

So changing the price on a recurring subscription should be OK, but I haven't tested it, and the ideal is to not change the price (setup a new upgrade instead).

Thanks but what Will happen if you make a new upgrade and then disable it. Will the people who bought it still pay with recurrente payements? For example if you have a promo for a certain period...

Same thread:

Yes. I have previously checked the code for this as well. The callbacks do not check the purchasable status of the upgrade so it should work. But again, I haven't setup an actual test.

Ok Thanks
