Before and After Payment Triggers/Plugins

Before and After Payment Triggers/Plugins was created by royce
Hi there, my use case is as follows:

1. A user subscribes with a monthly fee.
2. The user can also choose to purchase 'usage credits' that will be used and managed on a 3rd party system. CBSubs publishes this purchase information (and the initial subscription amount) so that a custom plugin can initialize the 3rd party system.
3. The user uses the 3rd party system, and uses up all or most of their credits.
4. The 3rd party system notifies CBSubs to alert the user that they need to purchase more credits. (This can also be done outside of CBSubs where a simple module shows the user the status of their credits)
5. The user purchases more credits and CBSubs again publishes that information so the custom plugin can refresh the 3rd party system

Any ideas on if this is logical and/or if CBSubs has a plugin architecture to support this type of processing?

Once the API has been fully documented and released it is very likely something "close" to what you're wanting can be developed. There are certainly trigger usages throughout CBSubs, but are not yet made public. At this time you can attempt to create something to meet your needs with CBSubs URL to execute a Code file to perform whatever integration you're needing.

Can you explain the CBSubs URL process and how it relates to my use case?

Also, is there a date for the API being available?

regards,
Royce

Instead of the 3rd party system alerting CBSubs, you could have CBSubs alert the 3rd party system and add "credits" to their account upon subscription activation. CBSubs URL will allow you to execute a code file such as www.invalid.com/my_code.php?user=[user_id] which will execute my_code.php passing the users CB User ID variable to it. Very useful for external integrations.

Also, is there a date for the API being available?

No, sorry we don't provide release dates. Is expected to be in CBSubs 1.1 however (again, no release date).
