One click (1-click) subscription renewal

Overview

Avangate supports 1-click manual subscription renewals for returning customers who paid for their previous orders with Credit/Debit cards.

In this scenario, you can facilitate subscription renewals for subscribers who opted out of auto-renewal (recurring billing).

How does this work? 

  1. Identify returning customers. 
  2. Generate the manual renewal link.
  3. Create a tokenized manual subscription renewal link and serve it to the returning customer.
  4. Customers using the link land a hosted shopping cart, chose one of their credit cards they previously used for purchases from your account/store and place the order.

 

What do shoppers see in the cart?

Availability

Please contact Avangate to start using one click (1-click) subscription renewals.

Requirements 

  • Make sure that the subscription is eligible:
    • Status needs to be Active or Past Due
    • Subscription cannot be evergreen
  • Email address must match that from the initial order. If shoppers change the email they need to re-enter the payment details.

 

Flow comparison

  • Longer purchase funnel
  • Complex flow
  • Unused subscriber and payment on file info
  • High risk of churn
  • Shorter purchase funnel
  • Streamlined flow
  • Uses both customer and payment on file information
  • Lower risk of churn
  • Increase Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) and recurring revenue

 

Detailed 1-click subscription renewal flow

Identify returning customers

You particularly need either the Avangate customer reference or the external customer reference you control.

Use customer information

getCustomerSubscriptions 

 

If customers log into your system and you’ve mapped unique identifiers into the Avangate platform you can easily extract their subscription information.

 

Use subscription information

searchSubscriptions 

 

You can also use subscription information to extract customer references, based on a set of filters. Validate the status of the subscription (needs to be Active or Past Due).

  • Customer email
  • Delivered codes/activation keys
  • Avangate customer reference
  • External customer reference
  • Subscription status
  • Recurring billing status
  • Product code
  • Customer country
  • Purchased date
  • Expiration/Renewal deadline
  • Subscription type

 

Create the manual renewal link

getRenewalDetails 

Retrieve information regarding subscription renewals based on Avangate Subscription References:

  • Information on the automatic renewal (recurring billing) status (enabled or disabled).
  • The link that customers access to renew the subscription though a manual payment.

 

Attach the payment token to the manual renewal link

getSingleSignOnInCart

 

Avangate attaches a unique token to links, designed to identify the returning shoppers and support the automatic extraction of payment data and billing information from the Avangate system.

One click (1-click) subscription upgrade

Overview

Avangate supports 1-click manual subscription upgrades for returning customers who paid for their previous orders with Credit/Debit cards.

In this scenario, you can facilitate subscription upgrades for subscribers by enabling them to use card on file information to pay for the upgrade.

How does this work? 

  1. Identify returning customers. 
  2. Identify valid upgrade options and costs.
  3. Create a tokenized manual subscription upgrade link and serve it to the returning customer.
  4. Customers using the link land a hosted shopping cart, chose one of their credit cards they previously used for purchases from your account/store and place the order.

 

What do shoppers see in the cart?

Requirements 

  • Configure the upgrade product / subscription plan in your Control Panel. 
  • Email address must match that from the initial order. If shoppers change the email they need to re-enter the payment details.

getProductUpgradeOptions

 

 

getProductUpgradeOptionsPrice

Create the manual upgrade link

To build custom upgrade links you need the following two elements:

1. The main upgrade path: 

https://secure.avangate.com/order/upgrade.php? or https://YourStore.com/order/upgrade.php? if you use a custom domain with Avangate 

2. The unique subscription identifier from the Avangate system: LICENSE=1234567.

The simplest upgrade link you can build is 

https://secure.avangate.com/order/upgrade.php?LICENSE=1234567

Attach the payment token to the manual Upgrade link

getSingleSignOnInCart

 

Avangate attaches a unique token to links, designed to identify the returning shoppers and support the automatic extraction of payment data and billing information from the Avangate system.

Enable a subscription

Overview

Use the enableSubscription method to enable a subscription.

Parameters

Parameters Type/Description

sessionID

Required (string)

 

Session identifier, the output of the Login method. Include sessionID into all your requests. 2Checkout throws an exception if the values are incorrect.  The sessionID expires in 10 minutes.

subscriptionReference

Required (string)

 

Unique, system-generated subscription identifier.

Response

Parameters Type/Description

Boolean

true or false depending on whether the changes were successful or not.

Request

<?php

require ('PATH_TO_AUTH');

$subscriptionReference = 'YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_REFERENCE';

try {
    $enabledSubscription = $client->enableSubscription($sessionID, $SubscriptionReference);
}
catch (SoapFault $e) {
    echo "enabledSubscription: " . $e->getMessage();
    exit;
}
var_dump("enabledSubscription", $enabledSubscription);

 

Use PayPal

Overview

Place an order with dynamic product information, and collect the payment using PayPal.

Parameters

Parameters Type/Description

sessionID

Required (string)

 

Session identifier, the output of the Login method. Include sessionID into all your requests. 2Checkout throws an exception if the values are incorrect.  The sessionID expires in 10 minutes.

Order

Required (Object)

 

Object designed to collect all data necessary for an order, including billing, product/subscription plan and payment details.

To place an order with PayPal rather than PayPal Express, use PAYPAL as the type of the PaymentDetails object and send the shopper email and a return URL as part of the PaymentMethod object. See code sample. 

Workflow

  1. Create the order object. Use PAYPAL as the type of the PaymentDetails object and send the shopper email and a return URL as part of the PaymentMethod object. Place the order.
  2. Once you place the order, 2Checkout logs it into the system. At this point in time, the status of the order is PENDING. 2Checkout responds with the Order information object.
  3. Redirect shoppers to the RedirectURL from the Order information object you receive as response from 2Checkout.
  4. Once shoppers log into their PayPal account and complete the transaction, they're redirected to the ReturnURL you set in the order object. 2Checkout also authorizes the order and updates the status to AUTHRECEIVED. 

Response

Order information Type/Description
Order Object containing order information.
