J-BusinessDirectory - Questions about Packages types, User Packages vs Business Packages, and Package Menu Types

Support Forum

 
 

 

I noticed that there are 2 different Packages types, User Packages vs Business Packages. I know what Business Listing Packages are but I see no documentation on User Packages or how they relate to Business Packages or if you can use these User Packages and Business Packages at the same time.

Here I noticed when creating a menu item Show Packages you select Packages and then Package Type. The Package Types are Business or User.

If you use the search tools you can select User and then when you add a new package it will then become a User Package but you can not select any features like the Business Packages.

User Packages have a Package Features section but there are no features to select except adding your own custom features.

I suspect how it works is the admin can

   1. make Users pay to access packages/content, and

   2. make Business users select package levels.

Yes, there should be some clarification in the documentation.

It does look incomplete for some reason?

 

Currently, the user packages are used only for JBD Trips. More functionality will be added in the near future.

I have no clue what JBD Trips even is and I tried to look up information before posting.

Can I use these USER Packages to create subscriptions for random services I offer that don't have anything to do with JBD Listing Features?
If so do I have to purchase the JBD Trips or can I just use the USER Packages from owning the basic JBD Extension?

I need help understanding the full capability of the subscription plans. I know I will need to buy one of the recurring Subscription Payment Processors but I am unclear about the capabilities past that on how I can build my packages beyond the BASIC SETUP. I will explain the scenario I am trying to accomplish and if you can tell me if this is capable or if I need to look for another solution.

I need Businesses to be able to have multiple subscription packages per business listing.
I need Businesses to be able to create multiple listings and each listing can have multiple package subscriptions
I need Users to be able to buy a package that is not a business listing feature and is not connected to the business listing at all but only the user account. (This one is not necessary but would like to know if possible)

[Monthly Subscription] Business Listing Packages: Free, Bronze, Silver, Gold

JBD Trips is an additional application for trip booking.

Can I use these USER Packages to create subscriptions for random services I offer that don't have anything to do with JBD Listing Features?
No.

If so do I have to purchase the JBD Trips or can I just use the USER Packages from owning the basic JBD Extension?
User packages have only the functionality to buy trips.

For packages, you can create one time payment packages or recurring payment packages.
For recurring payment, you will need one of the recurring payment processors.
You can configure the packages in the packages section.

For packages, you can add also custom features, but they do not have any functionality behind. You will have to manage those manually.
