Publisher review:MultisitesSubscription - User arrives at Main Joomla/Mambo Site, where a list of sub sites, you can buy access to, are shown. The list is generated from a Site List in the MultisiteSubsciption component installed on the Main Site. When the user clicks the info button for each listed site, he can see an overview of, what the site contains (f.ex. Danish grammar, English for beginners and so on). This info (Heading some text price access period) is generated from the component, where you write some info when adding a site.It is possible to have listed free sites, so you will be registered on those after sending the order.
In the back end in the component each of the sites are listed by the admin including price and define periods by:1. a start date of access2. an end date
- being a certain date to be defined
- NO end date (i.e. lifetime access)
- flexibility in setting the access period for a set no of days ...e.g. 1,7,14,30,60,90,365 etc ...
- where this setting would be used to calculate the end date
- upon being added by the administrator
The user checks the sites, he want to buy access to -> clicks the Buy button -> a overview of the chosen sites with price and period of each and a total price is shown .Go to Check Out -> Register or Back to Buying.If user is logged in -> take the users info incl. name email address country and so on…If user is not registered -> make new user incl. all info.If the user only has checked the free sites the registration is done. If the user has checked both free and not free sites, he is registered on the free sites and then taken to the shop.When you sell subscriptions it must be possible to add tax depending on, where the buyer lives. So in the backend in the component you list:
- the countries to add tax to when selling
- the tax percentage to add (I.e. when selling from Denmark to EU (22 countries) you must add 25% tax, when selling outside no tax.)
- one click for EU countries (time saving!!)
- if for US use: states with different taxes can be selected
Also in the backend the payment processors available can be enabled. It is possible set the component to Test Mode while setting up the payment processor(s) and testing the connection.If user lives in a country, where you must pay tax, the total price is added tax and a new total price is shown.The user accepts the listed Terms of Delivery by clicking a checkboxThe buyer is taken to Paypal to pay the amount ->the payment processor returns the data to the seller’s server, when the payment is okay, and the user gets an email with a login and the invoice for the sites, he just paid for. Also the administrator or/and the editor of the Main Site gets this e-mail as cc.The sites paid for are updated with the user when payment is cleared.The payment with details are listed in the backend and updated from Pending to Cleared when payment has occurred (can also be changed by the admin).It is possible to list the sales: 1. filtered by date, user, site, pending and cleared 2. total sale for all selected site with selected day, month and year
We only include Paypal for now. If needed from many customers additional payment processors can be made.When the subscription time period runs out: a week/x weeks before an e-mail is sent to the user warning him and asking him to renew the access rights. The text and the time limit for sending the e-mail is set in the back end including info from the subscription (site name, period and so on…).When the period runs out, the user is deleted at the subscribed site.In the Main Site front end after being logged in, you can look at all your subscriptions in a Joomla module showing sites, periods start-end. When clicking on a site in this module, you are taken to this site for login, if you dont have the SingleSignOn component installed. If so, the user is still logged in.
