Was this information Helpful?

Hello - A feature Suggestion:

For people who have a physically mailed products on a subscription basis, having the option to have a new order created with each payment received, would be a HUGE help.

This way, for each month in which a payment is received there is a clear understanding of how many products need to be mailed, and the ability to associate a tracking number with each order would be doable as well.

I'm interested to hear if anyone has any input on this. Thanks!!

Re: Me too

Actually, does anyone know if this can be done with Conditional Actions? Maybe a way to duplicate an order with payment of zero dollars?

yes, I think

Yes, I think you can use conditional actions, but, you will need to write your own action module / code, I think, to "intercept" the payment trigger, find the appropriate order and "clone" it, so to speak.

But the short answer is yes, that is probably a good solution, short of convincing the recurring orders module creator to add new features. Sounds like an interesting little project.

The 2.x branch of uc_recurring works this way, on each renewal it generates a new order.

2.x generates a new order but does not include the shipping cost. And if you ordered a quantity of 3 items on your first order, the next recurring order will only bill for one item.
