About the Developer
This extension was developed by and is supported by aheadWorks
Subscriptions and Recurring Payments by aheadWorks 19 19aw gets a for efftort and f for vision/quality way too many bugs. as already mentioned in reviews. there are tons of oversights and omissions. yes, aw trys assuming you have paid support active. but the amount of effort spent by me as admin and as aw customer and hundreds of support emails is outrageous. serious quality control issues. a real burn out. May 29, 2013Overall Good Product This product was easy to install, and works well. There were a couple of bugs that we found after the install. However, support was responsive in working with us to resolve the issue. Getting the additional support is probably wise with this plugin. The only major downside is that you have to maintain your support subscription to get future plugin updates. Overall this is a good plugin with a lot of features and is proving useful to us. May 14, 2013Be aware of bugs and hope your not from Europe To me surprise I discovered that the subscription period cannot be translated. Having several store views, for each language a simple option would be to create translated subscription periods and assign them separate for each store view to the product. But, SARP does not save store view settings, so you choose it always on a product level. This is a serious bug which I reported. If I provide them all the necessary info they (AW) are willing to provide me a quote for the extra development. Having such high price tag and leaving a bug in the product, or taking a shortcut to save money, is unexceptable. Secondly, if you operate in Europe, in EURO no payment provider is supported at this moment. They should warn about this. Instead they mention Ogone in development and just change the expected delivery year. Well, good news, Authorize.net will support them in a few weeks but I had to find this out by myself. AW is nog focussed on customers and quality, what a pitty. March 16, 2013I created day to day subscription. But after first payment, the subscription becomes suspended automatically. Also the automatic transaction is not done for the next day through epay payment. Is it for suspend of the subscription? Please, reply fast. I wait for the answer. December 20, 2012The module have now been successfully integrated with Payex. Users that are interested in using this module with Payex payment gateway can contact 2web.no in Norway. October 26, 2012AheadWorks, Can you elaborate if you have addressed any of the issues people here have expressed. Can anyone else share their experience if these guys are a bad investment? Thank you. September 30, 2012I have a food product that I want customers to be able to set up an automatic order. For example, if the customer wants us to ship 4 units every 4 weeks (or once per month), I want the store to create the order and bill the customer credit card, or paypal account. Is this a good extension for this? September 24, 2012Great extension. But needs SagePay support. (But that is probably due to SagePay and payment processing in the UK, not aheadWorks.) June 7, 2012Today Subscriptions and Recurring Payments v.1.8 is out. The updated version supports eWay Token Payments and ‘Autorize Only’ payment action in Autorize.net. Besides, now there is the ability of reverse conversion from SARP product to standard one. June 7, 2012I purchased this module a couple of months back. The idea and concept is great, but the limitations kind of hinder the whole module. Being a merchant in the UK, the only way to automate payments from a customer is for the customer to have a PayPal account. There is no way of automatically billing a customers credit card directly which is what a lot of our customers would like. The only automatic credit card billing option available is to have an Authorize.net account. However, this is only available to US and Canada merchants :( So the only way to bill a customers credit card regularly is to take the card details off them using "saved credit card" option and then to manually set up a recurring profile with a payment gateway. If this could be automated for UK merchants, then this would be a great module! May 15, 2012- Q&A

Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_26705101I can use the Magento API to add products to a cart and the like. With this plugin, can I also add subscribable products to a cart and process the order normally? I assume it doesn't add functionality to manage subscriptions for a user via the API.bydanieldixon-3 months, 2 weeks agoAnswers
Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:Yes, you can add subscription products to cart and process your orders normally. The extension just offers a new kind of product which is defined as 'subscription' one.byaheadWorks-3 months, 2 weeks agoAvatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_205134Are there any plans to support Gift subscriptions?bymmckasty-1 month, 3 weeks agoAnswers
Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:If I understand you correctly, you are interested in subscriptions paid by someone other than the recipient. This can be achieved with the current version of the module by stating a required shipping address at the checkout. In case there is a misunderstanding and you are looking for a different functionality, please contact our support team either via phone, live chat or email, we would be glad to provide the required information.byaheadWorks-1 month, 3 weeks ago1 of 11 of 1 - Get Help
