We have been asked to spec the re-development of a wordpress site that has a members only area that people pay to access. At the moment it looks like a subscription is purchased like a product on any ecommerce site, the order is manually verified and the person then given members access. Then when the subscription runs out, it is up to the user to remember and purchase a new subscription.
Reading around it sounds like Merchello can do proper subscriptions with recurring payments. Is this the case and if so how much of this is available out of the box and how much would need coded.
Also does anyone know where I could find some pointers on how to implement something like this.
The easiest subscriptions are actually done via Braintree (a provider we will soon be releasing in the Core). You can checkout the 2.0.0 code which is in the merchello-dev branch now.
For the reminders, this makes things very flexible as you can either send the notification directly from Braintree or use a webhook to do something more custom.

Hey Suzy,

Can subscriptions just be done with Braintree. The client already uses Sagepay and may not want to change.
I have not looked at Sagepay myself, but there is an active Sagepay payment provider out there. https://github.com/BarryFogarty/Merchello.Plugins.SagePay
I'm not sure if they have built in the recurring payments.
