Hi Everyone, Quick ccap option question

#1

When building a payment form can I make it where it will remove a ccap. I am using a date form 102016 as the ccaps for a series of products. The example would be a complete year 112015 - 102016 for 12 items. At the end of that year I need a way to trigger a popup that tells the customer they need to renew. I have used the ccaps 102016,102016r where the “r” with the code will trigger a time to renew option. Can I have Stripe and PayPal remove the ccap 102016r on its own some how when they purchase the next following year.

Thanks for any help on this, I am hoping it’s just a -102016r to do the trick but I am not sure as I haven’t found any info on removing a ccap with a ccap purchase.

@rosswaters, yes, you can do this.

The details are explained in Billing Modification Forms if you click the ? next to Custom Capabilities (comma-delimited)

Hi Tim,

I see where -all is acceptable but when I try to just minus out the “102016r” the form reports an error. I only plan to reveal this form to those that have 102016r as a custom code. If -all is the only support then I will have to figure out some other method for keeping track of who has subscribed to us and who needs a renewal. We have users that have some custom codes that they have purchased and I do not see where -all would ever work for random custom purchases.

Is there something I am missing cause the way I seeing this, it is no different than using member levels at that point.

This is the message I get when -102016r is applied.

Invalid form configuration. Invalid “ccaps” attribute. Custom Capabilities. When provided, must be all lowercase [a-z_0-9,]. A preceding -all, directive is also acceptable.

Ross,

I must admit that I’ve never used this feature, but have you tried using -all and then including all the ccaps that you actually want the member to have, or is the range of ccaps different for each member?

#5

It is different for each and every member. We have a monthly magazine and depending on year they started, months they bought here and there, -all would destroy the account and is not an option. We use the date code because everything is by month and year. on their last month we would have 102016,102016r. It can also tell them what month they need to renew and allowing the renew early if they want to. Having more than one r in the system would show them multiple renewals and would get confusing.

We may have to look into other system at this point to keep track of the renewal process. I was just hoping when I read you could remove a ccap it meant the ccap of your choice.

It is possible to remove a single ccap with “-102016r”, for example.

Do I need to place it under quotes like you have?

Thanks for the help on this.

Looks like the quotes within the main ccaps works, I will now test it, thank you so much Tim.
