Take initial payment followed by monthly payments

It doesn’t offer you much control out of the box, but if you need to change what it does you can – you have to read the GoCardless API docs carefully and then go in and amend the code to fill in the fields how you want.

I am seriously stuck on the same issue, can you please point me in the right direction?

I actually don’t think GoCardless permits an initial payment followed by different regular payments. It allows for one-off payments or subscriptions, and subscriptions are (usually) the same amount each week, month or year, i.e. a regular fixed payment at a regular interval, either until cancelled or for a set number of payments.

So if your initial payment is a different amount than subsequent payments it isn’t going to work, with just the one set-up.

Yeah I checked the docs out as soon as I commented and realised you can only do one or the other so I ended up modifying the “class-fb-gf-gocardless-hosted.php” file to take a one off payment or monthly payments depending on a radio button selection.

Thanks
