Joomla! 4.3 ready!

New in version 3.0.0: upgrades and bundled products support

ochSubscriptions is a fork of the renowned (but abandoned) rd-subs extension that was and still is used to power the subscription business for a lot of (Joomla) extension developers.

Time to convert your Joomla website into a Subscription based and Community enabled business website!

ochSubscription is based on and fully integrated with Joomla, it gives you the following benefits:

  • Joomla ACL: all subscription assigned access rights are handled by Core Joomla ACL (Access View levels), you set which Joomla user groups are assigned to the customer when subscribing and can set a (different) set of user groups that the user will be removed from when the subscription expires: maximum flexibility.
  • Joomla Security: all access and authorisation is handled by Core Joomla
  • NEW in version 3.7.0: Privacy: ochSubscriptions is fully integrated into the Joomla Core Privacy Tool suite
  • EU VAT: Fully configurable to comply to your business / country EU VAT rules including validation of the VAT number of B2B Customers (integrated VIES check)
  • (EU) VAT Rates: Support for standard and reduced vat rates (per EU country configurable) and even support for products that are exempt of VAT. Updating of the VAT rates can be done manually or automatic as part of an active subscription.
  • Flexible Renewals: renewal discount can be set globally or per product giving you the perfect offering to entice your existing customer in keep doing business with you.
  • (Expiry) discounts: flexible discounts can be configured globally or per product where you can set an (unlimited) amount of rules specifying expiry time and discount percentage. Your customers will be emailed a coupon code to get the discount resulting in sustainable subscriptions and business!
  • Coupon Codes: create coupon codes with fixed amounts or as a percentage, on the complete order or for a specific product or user. All coupons can have an optional start and end date making it easy to run campaigns!
  • File distribution: Comes out of the box with file / download functionality
  • Extension distribution: fully integrated with Joomla One Click updater when using the ochSubscription provided download ID for the customer
  • Multilingual Template system: create templates for the emails that are send via the system and invoices created. Use a sophisticated Content Construction logic to customize the these templates to hold all relevant information for your customers
  • RD-Subscriptions import and RD-Subscriptions updater / download 'catcher': guaranteeing a smooth and hassle free transition for extension developers > old rd-subs updater URL keep working as they are replaced on the fly by ochSubscriptions!
  • Joomla One Click Updater: distribute your Joomla extensions to your customers via their website's One Click updater!
  • Joomla 4.x Change Log support: Show changelogs in Joomla 4 extension manager or in Joomla 4 extension updater!
  • Watchful Integration: ochSubscription can provide your customer with a Watchful download key allowing them to update your extension via Watchful
  • Customer pages: ochSubscriptions gives your customers direct insight into their active and inactive subscriptions, their invoices and their available downloads
  • Billing information: Billing information needed for invoicing is integrated with the default Joomla User Edit view, just like Joomla Custom Fields are!
  • Offline Payment: ochSubscription comes out-of -the-box with the PayLater payment plugin, this gives your customer the possibility to buy a subscription, get an invoice and once they paid the invoice you can process their order and activate their subscription.
  • Online Payment provider: The new PayPal checkout buttons and Mollie (dutch payment provider) payment plugins are available as separate downloads (require additional subscription).

Functionality
Exactly what is needed to sell digital products. The component is developing and new features appears.
Ease of use
It is pretty okay. We used RD-Subs before and this extension is its logical continuation, so the UI is clean, all settings are groped.
Support
It is surprisingly to meet a developer who is open for cooperation and has implemented various improvements. The support is just fantastic!
Documentation
There is nothing extra. Just that information which is needed. What was not yet clear or need clarification - I asked at the forum directly.
Value for money
E-commerce solutions cannot cost low price, for stable product it is worth to pay money and forget about possible issues.
I used this to: OchSubscriptions is used to sell extensions at our site. It's very important to have a stable solution like this. The component comes with flexible structure, various events to develop custom plugins, written code and is compatible with Joomla 4.
Functionality
If you are based in E.U. and you would like to sell B2B subscriptions, this extension is your absolute choice.
Ease of use
The extension has a lot of features. Given it's complexity is well structured.
Support
The support was outstanding. Ruud was there in every step, willing to provide solutions in a fast way.
Documentation
Unfortunately the documentation is quite poor. The extension has a lof of features which are not documented.
Value for money
Given the features, it provides, it worth the money...............................
I used this to: B2B subscriptions site..............................................
Owner's reply: Hi Sakis,
Thanks for your positive review! Was good to work together on your(Joomla 4) project with ochSubscriptions.
As you know ochSubscriptions started out as a fork of rd-subs. I did a complete rewrite of the code and also of the logic / security of the component to make it the best subscription component out there. Unfortunately, documentation was not available anymore for rd-subs as the original developer took that site offline. I decided to start over describing the basic functionality. More documentation will be added when people come to me with questions: in the meantime I share and provide as much as knowledge in interaction with the customer having questions.
So documentation is WIP but we are getting there! Thanks again for your review, means a lot to me!
Regards,
Ruud.
