Hi

With Paypal 4, can we set up a discount where the subscription is extended (by 2 or 3 months for instance) instead of a money discount?

Best regards
Hello Weeblr

Yes, You can setup a discount to extent the subscription period of a plan for that you have to create a discount of Subscription Extention Usage type.
You can find the setting for this discount here:Backend>>Discounts>>Discounts>>Create new>>Usage type>>Subscription Extention

Read this documentation to know more:https://stackideas.com/docs/payplans/administrators/discounts-and-referrals/discounts
Please see the attatched screenshot to understand more:

Hi

Hmm, that's not very clear. The documentation says:

"Subscription Extension - Discount is autmatically applied when subscription is being extended. No coupon code required."

That's not what I want. I want to have a coupon code and when that coupon code is applied by user, they get an extra, say, 2 months on the subscription they purchase (and the price does not change).

When creating the discount, it looks like it's doing what I want but the tooltip is not there so I'm not entirely sure:


I cannot just try at this point as we're in the middle of making the upgrade plans and checklists.

Thanks for clarifying either your response or fixing the documentation.

Best regards

Hello Weeblr,

Thanks for reporting this i will report this to our team and we will make changes to it.

Yes, To use this discount you will need a coupon the discount will not be automatically applied you have to provide a coupon code to the user in order to use this discount.

Let me know if you have any other query.

I did not say anything like that.

I asked you to confirm if the documentation is correct or not. The documentation does not say the same as you.

So is the documentation correct or are you correct?

Regards
