3.6 Recurring Orders

The Shopping Cart fully supports recurring orders, such as monthly payments for a service. When a new order is submitted, all recurring subscriptions will be created. Once every night a script will automatically run via Crontab, and process all needed recurring payments. If the customer is paying through a third party payment processor, such as PayPal or 2CheckOut, the payment will be added to the database as pending. However, every time the member is charged by the third party payment processor, the next payment date for the recurring subscription is automatically updated accordingly, so the script may never add the recurring payment as pending.
