Aurimas,
I’m still trying to solve my problem… In the meantime, can you do that customized Are PayPal for me? Naturally, tell me before the price for this work. Eventually, I only need the changed code lines.
Excuse me for my request but your plugin is unequalled. It is very simple and practical for my project, it only needs of that change.

Thanks anyway,
Salvatore

Hi Spitt,
I have tested that any form of recurryng payment discourages the inexperienced buyers. Yes, I could provide instructions on how to cancel the subscription from PayPal account but it can be only a problem for me and for buyers. Indeed Are PayPal plugin, with a simple BuyNow button, could work without further problematic future interaction with PayPal.
When the selected period elapse then the plugin simply hides again the content and shows the BuyNow button.
Aurimas gave me the right start way… I only must resolve how to hide again the content after my selected period. Maybe it is sufficient to change some code lines of Are PayPal…
Thanks anyway for your suggestions, it can work at the moment.

You know, you could simply provide instructions on how to cancel the subscription, right on your site. Or make it on the return page, from PayPal.

Here’s one of my about pages, regarding content, cancellations, and how to remove a PayPal subscription. Perhaps it will help give you some ideas. – http://rpg-exploiters.com/about/paid-post-content-subscriptions/

It is possible for the plugin to not have recurring payments, after X amount of recurring payments, but it would have to be programmed into the plugin itself.

Hi,

I have no idea how to do that refresh, but for sure it is possible

The thing is that paypal is responsible to ping your blog ipn handler in order to mark content as purchased. If this communication is slow user has to refresh one or more times. In order to have auto refresh/check I thik ajax retrieval of hidden content is the best way to go.

OK, I have changed subscribe button template to be the same as buy now button template and it seems work.
I am waiting expiration time of 1 day for a complete test…
Now, another small problem that happens also in “subscribe” mode.
After purchasing operation, the buyer is sent back to merchant site but his purchased product is still hidden. It is necessary to refresh the page to show the purchased text.
Is it possible to add a line code for auto refresh?

Thanks for your great patience!
Salvatore.

OK. Try the following. Change subscribe button template to be the same as boy now button template. And in that case buy now button will be generated all the time. Since plugin will expire the content after period will elapse. This is not proven by me and not tested this is just an idea. try it and you will see. Ihope this will help you. Sorry for inacurate information, but I’ve developed this plugin a while ago and do not remember all the small things.

I think its possible to achieve but at the moment I do not have time. There must be an new option developed to control this. If that option says yes in any case instead of subscribe button buy now should be generated.
