📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis pull request fixes billing period switching validation in the checkout cart. Previously, switching from longer to shorter billing cycles was blocked entirely. The changes replace this rigid check with nuanced logic that classifies such switches as downgrades, and improve null-safety when accessing membership data during billing calculations. Changes

Use the real old/new cycle rates for the shorter-period override.
$old_price_per_day and $new_price_per_day may already have been rewritten by search_for_same_period_plans() to compare same-duration variants, so this flag can miss genuine yearly→monthly downgrades across different products. A yearly membership on Plan A switching to a monthly Plan B with the same monthly sticker price is one example: the normalized rates become equal, cart_type stays 'upgrade', and the scheduled-renewal flow in inc/gateways/class-stripe-checkout-gateway.php:340-360 is skipped.

This regression test never exercises the null-guarded branch.
The cart stays 'new', so get_billing_next_charge_date() skips the downgrade path entirely and falls through to the product-based calculation. If the null check were removed, this test would still pass. Force cart_type to 'downgrade' while keeping membership null before making the assertion.
Proposed fix
public function test_get_billing_next_charge_date_null_membership_guard() {
$plan = $this->create_plan(['amount' => 30.00]);
$cart = new Cart([
'products' => [$plan->get_id()],
'duration' => 1,
'duration_unit' => 'month',
]);
+ $this->assertNull($cart->get_membership());
+
+ $cart_type = new \ReflectionProperty(Cart::class, 'cart_type');
+ $cart_type->setAccessible(true);
+ $cart_type->setValue($cart, 'downgrade');
+
$this->assertIsInt($cart->get_billing_next_charge_date());

Previously switching from a longer billing cycle (yearly) to a shorter one (monthly) was blocked with 'You already have an active yearly agreement.' regardless of whether the customer had the same plan or a different one. This prevented legitimate billing-period changes. Root cause: class-cart.php lines 1347-1362 detected 'old_price_per_day < new_price_per_day && old_cycle_days > new_cycle_days' and hard-blocked with a WP_Error instead of scheduling the change. Fix: - Remove the hard-block. Add $is_period_switch_to_shorter flag that covers the same condition and merges it into the existing downgrade branch (lines 1370+). The change is now scheduled for the next renewal date exactly like any other downgrade — no payment collected, cart total $0. - Fix defensive null guard at get_billing_next_charge_date() line 2752: add null check on $membership before calling ->is_active(), matching the guard already present in get_billing_start_date() line 2709. Tests: 4 new tests in Cart_Test covering monthly→yearly upgrade, yearly→monthly downgrade (same plan), yearly→monthly downgrade (different plan), and null-membership guard on get_billing_next_charge_date(). All 121 Cart_Test tests pass. Fixes #888

Resume check — all systems greenSession reconnected to verify state after connection drop. Summary: All CI checks now passing:
Housekeeping done:
Remaining before merge:
The fix itself is complete: billing-period switches (monthly↔yearly) are now routed as scheduled downgrades rather than hard-blocked with an error. Four regression tests added, all passing. aidevops.sh v3.8.59 plugin for OpenCode v1.4.6 with claude-sonnet-4-6 spent 2m and 7,074 tokens on this as a headless worker. |
Reverts the changes from PR #889 (GH#888) and follow-up PR #893 that routed billing-period switches (monthly<->yearly) through the scheduled downgrade path. The swap system only updates the local membership record - it does not modify or cancel the Stripe/PayPal subscription. A period change would leave the gateway subscription on the old interval while the local membership thinks it changed, causing payment mismatches at renewal. Restores the original guard that blocks cross-period changes, with an improved error message suggesting plan variations instead of the previous unhelpful 'You already have an active X agreement' text.

Problem
Customers were unable to switch their membership billing period (e.g. monthly ↔ yearly) — they received the error "You already have an active yearly agreement."
Root cause:
inc/checkout/class-cart.phplines 1347-1362 detected the pattern "old plan is cheaper-per-day AND has a longer billing cycle" (the standard yearly-vs-monthly signature) and hard-blocked with aWP_Errorinstead of scheduling the change. Both directions were affected:A secondary defensive bug:
get_billing_next_charge_date()called$membership->is_active()without a null guard (unlike the identical code block inget_billing_start_date()), creating a potential fatal if$this->membershipwere null on a downgrade cart.Fix
File modified:
inc/checkout/class-cart.phpChange 1 — Remove hard-block, route to scheduled downgrade (lines 1347-1372)
Replaced the block that cleared products/line-items and added a
no_changeserror with a new$is_period_switch_to_shorterboolean:This flag is then OR'd into the existing downgrade condition at line 1370 so the period switch is scheduled for the next renewal date — exactly like every other downgrade. Cart total becomes $0 (scheduled-swap credit cancels the new period price); no payment is collected until renewal.
Change 2 — Null guard in
get_billing_next_charge_date()(line 2752)Matches the guard already present in
get_billing_start_date().Testing
