Recurring contributions question
July 24, 2007, 09:20:41 am
Hello,

We are implementing recurring contributions in Civi 1.6.  We are using PayJunction as the online merchant (custom built payment processor).  We collect them fine, and all is well... except the client doesn't get accurate reporting because the recurring contribution record only goes into Civi once, as it is entered.  Couple things to note: I notice that the next_sched_contribution field is not being set properly in the recur table.  How is the that field supposed to be populated?  Is there a cron job that can scan the recur table and create additional contribution records as they are supposed to be occuring?  Has someone dealt with this before?  Am I missing a feature of Civi that I haven't configured properly?  Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.  The goal is to be able to see a contribution entry for all contributions that are part of a recurring transaction.

Thanks,
Mike

1. You might want to consider migrating the code to 1.8 since we've made some changes there. Might be easier going forward

2. Note that we currently follow the "paypal" model of recurring contributions. i.e. paypal does all the work and "calls back" when the next payment is processed, which in turn creates a contribution and this is linked to the recurring contribution. CiviCRM does not set/process the next_sched_contribution field (currently)

3. A few folks are implementing recurring for authorize.net which has a similar model to the above
