Subscription Payment Queuer new in v6.0

This is the job that needs to be called periodically to collect all the subscriptions (either renewals or schedules) that have to be paid and process the payments.

What it does

The queuer job uses the Payment Collector class. This class retrieves all pending subscription renewals and also all pending subscription plan change schedules, then the job dispatches new jobs for each type of payment method and action needed (renewal or schedule).

What happens when subscription schedule is set at renewal date?

Subscription schedule change has priority over renewal, so schedule change will be first processed. Plan change will set a new renewal time in the future, so this renewal will be pushed into the future and not processed at the same time schedule happens to avoid duplicates.

How does the package avoid double charging?

Both schedule and renewal jobs use Laravel's Preventing Job Overlaps (opens new window) without release, so only one job per subscription can be active.

How to schedule

Your task schedule is defined in the app/Console/Kernel.php file's schedule method.

use \Bpuig\Subby\Jobs\SubscriptionPaymentQueuerJob;

$schedule->job(new SubscriptionPaymentQueuerJob())->everyFiveMinutes();
