  • Subscription length
  • Sign-up fee - will be used once for the InitRecurring Transaction
  • Free trial - define the period, which the consumer will not pay the subscription price in.
• In tab Inventory check Sold individually if you don't want the subscription's quantity to be increased in the shopping cart.

Manage Subscriptions:

• Navigate to WooCommerce -> Subscriptions and choose your Subscription
• You can Suspend or Cancel a Subscription by using the links next to the Subscription's status label or change manually the Status
• When you enter into a Subscription, you can preview also the Related Orders and modify the Billing Schedule
• If you wish to perform a manual re-billing, choose Process renewal from the Subscriptions Actions dropdown list on the Right and click the button next to the dropdown.

Refund a Subscription:

You are only allowed to refund the Sign-Up Fee for a Subscription

• Navigate to WooCommerce -> Subscriptions and choose your Subscription
• Scroll down to the Related Orders and click on the Parent Order
• Scroll down to the Order Items and click the Refund button.
• Define your amount for refund. Have in mind that the refundable amount may be lower than the total order amount, because the Parent Order might be related to Init Recurring & Recurring Sale Transactions. You are only allowed to refund the amount of the Init Recurring Transaction.

After a Refund is processed, the related Subscription should be marked as Canceled and a Note should be added to the Subscription

Processing Recurring Transactions

• Recurring payments are scheduled and executed by the WooCommerce Subscription Plugin and information email should be sent.

Configuring WordPress Cron

• If your WordPress Site is on a Hosting, login to your C-Panel and add a Cron Job for executing the WP Cron

cd /path/to/wordpress/root; php -q wp-cron.php

• If your Site is hosted at your Server, connect to the machine using SSH and type the following command in the terminal to edit your Cron Jobs Do not forget to replace www-data with your WebServer User

sudo crontab -u www-data -e

and add the following line to execute the WordPress Cron once per 10 Minutes

*/10 * * * * cd /path/to/wordpress/root && php -q wp-cron.php

Refunds

There are two ways of doing Refunds.

• Using integrated WooCommerce Refund functionality

  In that way, you can create a partial or full refund with restocking the desired items. This will create a WooCommerce Refund event. Partial or Full refund e-mail will be sent to the customer. You should choose the "Refund via emerchantpay Checkout/Direct" button if you want to send that refund to the Genesis Gateway.

• Using the emerchantpay Transaction List Table

  In that way, you will send a Refund to the Genesis Gateway without affecting the Order, unless the refund is not a full one. If the full amount is refunded then the Order will become with status Refunded.

• Ensure that you have installed WooCommerce version 6.9 or newer, or download and install the WooCommerce Blocks plugin.
• Ensure that the current theme supports Blocks.
• Go to the Pages and then locate and edit the Checkout page.
• Remove the existing [woocommerce_checkout] Shortcode block.
