** NOTE **
If you wish to change the Pricing or Duration of a Recurring Payment. You need to go into pay pal and find that users Profile (Name) click On Details and then Visit the Recurring payment Screen. You need to Cancel The Profile of that User. What it really means is you cancelling there Recurring Payments Only. Your Not Cancelling there Group Membership. A Member with a Cancelled Profile Via Pay Pal does NOT get a Private message about any changes.
They DO Get a E-mail from Pay Pal saying that the Recurring Profile has been Cancelled.
When a User signs up to a Group with Trials and Recurring payments they are entering an Agreement with you.
So if you have an Annual Membership, and you increase the price the following year your going to have to Cancel those users Profiles Manually via Pay Pal. (You may be able to do this via the Subscriptions Edit in the control panel but ive not found a way yet). So when that users subscription ends they have to manually subscribe again with the new pricing etc. . . . Or leave all well alone and they continue to re register to your group Automatically at the Original Price. I guess you could say its a loyalty thing.
It can be confusing with the wording pay pal uses and what the forums use. I hope the above helps others.
As i change Trial Period to Special Offer via the Language files and that should sit better with me and my users based in the UK.
Phew. . . . .
And all of the above is with Version 7.5.6 p2
Thats all for now, and that cost me £5 in Testing lol
