No bug Exclude certain countries / redirect "Buy now" button

Hey Ruud,

Background: installing and configuring the component, I come across a "special case" I need to handle.
For tax-legal reasons, we decided NOT to sell directly to Switzerland and Great Britain (other countries may follow here). This would require us to setup a physical office (or pay a trustee) in either country for tax purposes. Our approach is, to use a different Payment Service Provider (namely digistore24.com) as they in fact will act as seller instead of us (submitting the customer invoice in their name). This reliefs us from any tax related issues with these countries.

in ochSubscriptions: this means we need to exclude certain countries (based on the customers address) and idealy "redirect them to our above named partner" instead of showing a "Buy now" button.
Is there something like a "webhook" environment in ochSubscriptions - or do you have any other idea how to achieve this (I am perfectly happy to develop any kind of individual extension for such a case).

Cheers,
Ruediger
 

looking through the dev documentation now...

Hi Rüdiger,
there are several 'event hooks' triggered. But trying to get an understanding of this myself:
Can digistore24 be seen as a payment provider? Just like stripe / mollie / paypal?
If so, a payment plugin could be created and in the checkout made available (based on geoip country code): so people from the selected country can then select the digistore24 payment provider and pay via them?

Thanks Ruud,

digistore24 is more like a reselling and affiliate marketing platform (based in Germany). However, we use them as an alternative payment provider (part of their services) for the named countries.
I certainly could develop a respective payment plugin (did that for other webshop systems already).
But we still would have to FORCE customers from the named countries to this path, not allowing them to use "Mollie" or any other ochSubscriptions payment plugins.
And our sales prices for these countries are different, as their processing fees are a lot higher than those from "competitors" (but then again, they provide a different service than the other payment service providers).
I found the "onRenderOchContentConstructor", which I belief could be used to "alternate the payment provider plugins", can you redirect me to any more detailed developer documentation, please
cheers
Ruediger

Hi,

the payment providers can be included or excluded for specific countries, sou you can exclude e.g. Mollie for UK and then the digistore24 for only uk. That way, a uk customer (based on Geoip) would only be able to select the digistore24 payment plugin.

in theory as geoip is not watertight.

The onRenderContentConstructor is triggered before email / pages are rendered, so e.g. in the email you can then add additional 'variables / values': this runs typically 'last' as the emails / pages are displayed as a result of the purchase.

and the difficulty here is that you can redirect to another site for purchasing, but then there should be a 'ping' back with the result of that website so ochSubscriptions knows what do do: enable subscription, enable user account, set correct rights to this user.
As well as when the subscriptions is about to expire, etc. how to renew etc.
