    We have a client using the subscription plugin. Everything was working fine, however a customer had paused their weekly subscription for a few weeks.

    When they clicked continue on their subscriptions, it started to create a new order and charged the customer every two hours (until the manager paused it)

    I have checked the subscription and the product and everything is set to weekly

    Hello,

    Could you, please, tell me the order number of that subscription to check the activity log?

    If you go into subscriptions or even the logs you can clearly see the orders which are hourly, all subscriptions are weekly, so it’s obvious which ones

    Any update, we need to start the orders again, but fear this will start charging orders again every two hours

    Hello,

    Subscription is bundled plugin but it’s a third-party pluginhttps://codecanyon.net/item/subscriptio-woocommerce-subscriptions/8754068 . We need to contact the plugin author to ask them to take a closer look at the mentioned issue. Could you, please, provide us with FTP access to your site? Do you allow me to share your details with the plugin author if they ask?

    Hello,

    We got the answer from the plugin support https://prnt.sc/1nx0e94

    Please check in which state customer has the option Account for days subscription was paused
    Such thing happens because of this option – any missed payments during the pause is then “catched up” after resuming.

    Ok albeit that doesn’t make sense, why would someone want to pause other than to stop the subscription from occurring, so looking at the settings it doesn’t make any sense, what am I ticking etc

    https://nimb.ws/us9LM5

    If a customer wants to stop their subscription for a few weeks, then pausing won’t seem to work will it? or do i tick the count days section above, the English on these options don’t’ make sense to me

    Hello,

    You need to enable that option https://prnt.sc/1nyjuou

    “As you can see there is an explanation:
    “Choose whether to extend the prepaid subscription term by the amount of days subscription was paused or suspended.”

    So if this is checked, then the subscription will be extended on the paused interval, as if no payments were needed.
    If not, then all missed payments should still be collected – it works just as pausing from regular payments, but doesn’t remove the need for user to pay the agreed amount later.”

    Thank you, one other issue we are having, the Email Customizer is not applying the template to the subscription email, for when new subscription etc is being created, it only sends the default woocommerce version

    It also happens on every email relating to subscriptions

    Odd reply! Please read the ticket, the email templates we have created are not being used on any of the subscription emails, it only uses the woocommerce standard templates

    Hello,

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. We checked the Subscriptio plugin code and found that plugin prevents using of custom templates. We contacted the plugin authors and asked them to improve the plugin code to allow using of the customized templates. Waiting for the plugin author reply.

    Its been over a week, if you bundle this in within your themes, then you have to also take a certain level of speedy response to this, we can’t just blame third parties, they didn’t sell it to me, you did

    Your support us getting worse by the day, why have I waited a week to get a response to a prior issue, this has nothing to do with missed payments and to do with why the email templates isn’t being applied, do you actually read tickets?

    Hello,

    Sorry, that was my mistake, but currently, we did not have another answer from the plugin team. Please be a bit more patient. I can’t say for sure how much time the solution will take, but we do our best to help you.

    it would be quicker if you dealt with the ticket and the correct information, rather than waste time chasing an issue which is resolved

    As I say, you should supply third party plugins where the support isn’t adequate, being a third party plugin isn’t an excuse to a delay, either get them to fix it immediately or fix it yourself, stop just sitting around waiting

    Hello,

    Thanks for your patience.
    XStore comes with an email builder that allows users to redesign email templates of WooCommerce and third-party plugins. We found that Subscription call the template HTML using own function instead of using wc_get_template(). It means that the plugin does not allows overwriting templates. Authors of the plugin answered “We’ll be expanding the template functionality in the future – adding this in our to-do-list. We’ll get back to you as soon as this is implemented.” It means once it will be done, we will be able to reply you that the request is solved.”
    Meanwhile, you can disable our Email Builder and use default WooCommerce templates/re-write them via WooCommerce > Settings > Emails.
    We can’t rewrite the code of bundled plugins, so we offer you one of 2 ways:
    – wait for the fix from the plugin
    – use default WC templates for Subscription email. They can be re-written via child theme, like – https://prnt.sc/1qyk3gf

    This isn’t acceptable

    You have supplied something which isn’t compatible with each other.

    I understand the reasons to why you may bundles items into your theme, but in turn you than have to accept a level of responsibility to how compatible it is or don’t supply it, falling back on third parties is not acceptable, if you have paid a license to supply this item, then you also have a right to demand it gets sorted or fix it yourself

    Turning it off, because it doesn’t work, isn’t really an answer is it, I have around 10 licenses with you, how long will it be until the other clients spot things don’t work

    You can re-write the code as you know you can, but it’s easier to pretend it’s not your problem when it very much is

    I suggest you get someone a bit more senior to look at this and if you are bundling plugins together, make sure they are compatible with each other, thats what we pay for this theme for

    Hello,

    We can’t rewrite code of the third-party author because we don’t have permission from the plugin author to do this. It’s not allowed by the license policy. So, we could just suggest the fix to author but we can’t edit plugin code by ourselves.
    In this case we can just wait for the plugin update.
