Intuit Partner Platform Monthly Connection Billing - intuit-partner-platform

Intuit Billing
States Intuit charges $5.00 per month for each connection. Does that mean if one connection (on every day of each month) is made the charge would 30 x $5 = $150? Or does it mean one charge of $5 regardless if connecting 100 times on a particular company file/user during a given month?

For every QuickBooks company that you connect to, that is considered one connection. You can connect and disconnect to that same company as many times as you want in the 30 day free trial, after that if you connect its $5 per month. You have unlimited access to the data for that connection

Update a row each day in PostgreSQL

I'm doing a database for a tickets sell. Each user can sell and buy a ticket. If the seller doesn't send the ticket within 24 hour the sell is cancelled. I wanted to use Triggers but there's no date trigger in it. So, how can do something after a time ? I would like to reset a limitation of sell each month too for each user.

Paypal auto renewal and maximum limit

We are building a web application where a company can buy a license which costs $300 and extra users which cost $10 for one year. Suppose company bought a license and 10 users. They will pay $300+$100 = $400.
After some months if the company wants to buy extra users, they can buy those but they will have to pay remaining days cost at the prorated basis. Like if they buy 1 extra user after 6 months, they will have to pay $5.
So after the license is expired, we want that to be auto-renewed with license cost and users cost for next year which will be $400+$10 = $410. Is there any API for such renewal process?
Also, we are using Paypal API based approach in the application and hence for payment, we need not go to Paypal's gateway. Can I know the maximum limit for such transaction? Is it $10,000?
By default PayPal's limit is $10k but you can call and request they raise that limit.
For what you've outlined it would be best to use Reference Transactions. This way you won't have any limitations on when you process a payment or what amount to process.
For regular PayPal payments you'll need to setup a billing agreement and use the billing agreement ID in future reference transaction requests. For direct credit card you don't need a billing agreement.

Paypal recurring billing with a trial and discount code

I have a membership website where membership costs $19.99/month. I'd like to give my users 2 weeks trial period AND a discunt for the first month of payment after that. That is:
User purchases a membership which costs $19.99/month
I give the user 2 weeks free trial and after that 2 weeks I charge the user $9.99 and every other payment after that should be $19.99.
Any ideas on how to achieve that?
Set the start date of the profile to 2 weeks from the current date. Then set the trial amount to 9.99 and have it run for 1 month, and then set the regular amount to 19.99/mo.
This will create an active profile immediately, but nothing will be charged at all until the start date that was set. At that point it'll charge whatever you set for the trial amount, and then it would charge the regular amount after that.

How do I handle non-recurring Paypal subscriptions? Subscription expires immediately

I'm working on a site that does non-recurring subscriptions, currently testing it on Paypal Sandbox. Let's say duration is 1 week (t3 = W, p3 = 1). I didn't include src and srt variables in the form. From what little information I have read related to this, a non-recurring subscription counts as a one-off and immediately expires the subscription. I want it to still lapse the duration and subscr_eot be called one week later. The application is run on Java/JSP.
This sounds like it needs to be handled on your side, not on PayPal's.
You receive a payment for your services, and attach an expiration date to that user in your database. He's only allowed to log into your site before his account expires.
So, I now devided the fee into two parts: eg, the one year fee is $10, than I charge $9.95 as the one year trial amount a1, and $0.05 as a non-recurring daily fee (a3) for only one day.
Seems that does it... at least the EOT is not immediately send...
Just have to explain your customers that this awkward payment plan is because of a Paypal peculiarity...

Pro-rated SaaS billing service

Can anyone advice a SaaS billing service that supports pro-rated billing?
I.e.:
1) Customer registers at 15th of the 1st month.
2) On 1st of 2nd month, customer get charged for the 15 days.
3) On 1st of the 3rd month, customer get charged for the whole 30 days of the previous month.
This in order to keep all billing consolidated in a single date.
I've checked some services, but so far they don't seem to provide such functionality.
Thanks.
Most SaaS billing services now support Pro rating. For example you could look into services such as Recurly or Chargify.
