Limitations
There is a limitation in the handling of a “mixed” shopping cart. That is, SubscriptionBridge can handle the sale of subscription and non-subscription (one time purchase) items only when:
- All items are non-shipping and non-taxable (e.g. digital goods + technical support subscription)
- Either the subscription item OR the single purchase items are non-shipping and non-taxable (e.g. shipping, taxable goods + extended warranty subscription)
The system does not handle the sale of subscription and non-subscription items at the same time when all of them require shipping and handling. This is due to the challenges of splitting shipping charges and taxes among the one-time sale and recurring billing profile. This limitation might be removed in the future.
