Not having to sign up for subscription

Open keferboeck opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

If I make a variant subscribable, the subscription fields must be filled in ( I want x items, ever x day, week, month).

To 95% users will not subscribe. They will leave "I want x items" and "every x day" empty. They simply wish to make a one time purchase of the product.

If we leave number of items and frequency EMPTY, an exception is thrown

Validation failed: Quantity is not a number, Interval length is not a number

Or if we enter "0" for items and frequency we get -

Validation failed: Quantity must be greater than 0, Interval length must be greater than 0

How can we allow one-time purchases on subscribable products.

Much like Amazon where you can pick either between making a one-time purchase or subscribe.

Thank you!

@kennyadsl a solution would be to set default subscription values on backend. What do you think?

This can be solved by just using the normal add to cart endpoint without passing any subscription-related parameter to the request.

@kennyadsl @keferboeck In my opinion a way to go would be to create to variants, one subscribable one not, this allows you to emulate the Amazon behavior already right now entirely.

@kennyadsl my point was more regarding the provision of presets for subscriptions for precompilation of the subscription module like interval and quantity per interval.
