Ted,
I am sorry for the confusion and half information. May be I was too
quick in replying. Regarding example in OFBiz, there are an example but
it is more about the subscription of newsletters. That could be a good
starting point and that is the place I have started.
I think key to the implementation is putting together your data
properly. SubscriptionResource is the most important entity and it has
most of what you need. Your product type should be digital goods to make
the subscription work.
You may need to write a fulfillment service to fulfill the orders
depending upon your fulfillment process. For recurring billing, there
are two ways to handle it. Auto and manual. For auto billing, your
payment processor must support it and if this flat in your subscription
entity is set to true and auto renewal service is schedule, it will
create an order which will be auto approve the order and charge the
credit card etc. For manual, you will need to write your own code and
action is user initiated (e.g. a renew subscription link on profile page).
Thanks,
Raj

Ted,
By the way why should contens of a web site has to be related to Ofbiz?
Contents of a web site are to be related to a business and not the OFBiz.
No, of course not. But just showing the url for a businesses website,
with out some explanation, leaves open the question as to the purpose.
I would have expected either a statement that the site is deployed
using OFBiz, and a pointer to those parts that deal with the original
request about support for recurrent billing and subscriptions, or
information on it about OFBiz related to the original question.
The site in question is 100% OFBiz. Only addition is URL rewriting and we
use Apache HTTPd and mod rewrite to do that.
OK. But you should have said so. If you had, I would have said
nothing. Or rather, I probably would have just asked you what you did
to support the subscription business model and the matter of rebilling
customers.
There is no real conflict here. But now that matter has been
clarified, can you tell us what you did specifically to support
subscriptions and rebilling? Everything I have found to date is
dated, and seems to be from before support for commercial
subscriptions was added to OFBiz.
Cheers
Ted

You can have a look at http://www.webovs.com/
What does this site have to do with the question of subscriptions and
recurring billing?
If you're claiming that site uses OFBiz and has deployed code that
supports subscription and rebilling, then it would be useful to
provide an URL that lets us examine the code.
The content of that site does not appear even to be related to OFBiz,
let alone support subscription and rebills.
Cheers

Hello everyone,
I have a small application in grails that I would like to port to ofbiz
to
take advantages of things like billing, payment and other things. But
before
I set out to do it, I was wondering if there was an example in ofbiz of
an
application where users can subscribe to different plans like "basic",
"professional", "enterprise" with recurring billing, so I can see
whether
the switch is worth it.
Thanks for your help.
