Tech Question Regarding subscription plan switching
My design firm has been looking over your site and they have come up with a question. We are currently selling a single subscription plan for $17.95 per month. However one of main reasons for wanting to switch to a system like yours is so that we can offer discounts to our current customers if they refer somebody.
For example.
If I had two separate subscription plans setup on your site.
1) Red Point Normal = $17.95 (bill period 1 month, ongoing)
2) Red Point Discount = $12.95 (bill period 1 month, ongoing)
If you had signed up for our site on Jan 2, 2010 and were paying $17.95 per month for our subscription and today (Jan, 14) your friend signed up for our site and put you down your user name (from our site) as the reason could I have your program (automatically) switch your user plan to "subscription plan 2" starting on Feb 2, 2010 (the date of your next scheduled bill) and then at a later date bring it back to "subscription plan 1"
I obviously don't expect your software to do this automatically for me, I just want to make sure that with custom programing I can interact with your API / Software in this way.
Is that possible?
Thanks
Saxon

As an alternate option to the post that I just made would it be possible to setup (on my end) for a discount to be applied on a future months transaction VIA the API? For example, if I wanted to give a customer 10% off of their subscription, next month only, then have it at regular pricing, or further modify it based on
on other parameters can I do that? Obviously I will handle all of the logic on my server, I just need to know if I can interact with your API that way.
Thanks

You certainly can. Just use the /xml/customers/add-charge API call. When providing the 'eachAmount' parameter, make it negative. This will produce a credit on the customer's next invoice. Bam!
