Subscription or payment plans

Hi Everyone - I’m trying to create a payment plan for a product as follows:
£697 Product
1st payment of £200 and then 6 monthly payments of £82.83 (£497/6) starting 1 month after 1st instalment.
I’ve been trying to use a purchase product trigger as follows - is this right and the best way (and if so what am I doing wrong?)

  • Created one product as a £200 one off purchase
  • this would then trigger a sequence to start one month later and create an order for the 2nd version of the product which is a £497 subscription only plan.
    I ran a test which seemed to work on the face if it except the 1 month delay timer didn’t work and I was charged for the 1st of the monthly instalments straight away.
    What I don’t know and am not sure how to test is as follows:
  • Should the product price be the total and the product plan be set as the installment amount?
  • Do I have to set 6 z create orders in the sequence or does the subscription setting automatically charge every month?
  • How can I test this to see if its working

Am I doing this the best/right way??
Thanks in advance for any help and hope it makes sense

Rhys:

What you have outlined looks like it should work (initial single product then subscription 30 days later with 6 installments). Not sure why the delay timer wouldn’t work …
