I'm not going to ask for anything now, nor sell this module, I've been quoted around $600 which will include the following features.
Once module is complete I will set-up a test site so people can see it in action with subscriptions, which are used as donations, but like I say it's not essential to donate, as I will give it to the XOOPS community But all donations are appreciated.
Here is the feature list so far which also includes OSCommerce shop intergrated:
This is a E-mail to the developer who is working with me:
+++General Features:
• MULTIPLE CURRENCY
Choose from multiple currencies. Examples - '$' '£' '¥' '€'
• USER AUTHENTICATION
As well as groups, allow option of htaccess
• TRIAL SUBSCRIPTIONS
You can define a subscription to be a trial for another subscription. When the trial expires, the plan will be switched from the trial plan to the permanent plan, and billing will automatically start. The trial subscription can either be free, or at a lower price than the permanent subscription. You can set the trial to expire after any amount of days, for example, 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, etc.
Module will not allow the same user to sign up for the same trial subscription more than once, so the same customer cannot simply reorder the same trial over and over.
• CATEGORY
Allow multiply categories, On deletion of category allow to move all products to another category or delete all products.
• DYNAMIC FIELDS
Use dynamic fields which can be changed via admin only some the following:
- User sign up forum, including state, zip, so these can be changed to county, postcode
- Add and remove user fields to sign up.
- Add and remove details in admin for all sections, i.e. category description
- Change fields like TAX to VAT dynamically.
• SUBSCRIPTION UPGRADE
Allow user to subscribe to one product, the be able to upgrade to another. for example Admin would set subscription 1 and 2 (2 being a higher subscription) Member subscribes to 1 then later decides he wants 2, he can then upgrade from his/her account as the option would be available and the cost set by admin, with a option of decreasing the cost per month for a set period of time, Other wise a user may only have 1 month left of subscription 1 and wouldn't want to pay full wack for upgrade.
• DEFINE PRODUCT
Define whether the item is a subscription or product, if subscription define number of days, months, years it is valid for, and to re-bill/remind customer, if product then take payment once
• AUTOMATED BILLING

- At checkout when the new order is entered.

Also, if payment is made by alternate means, such as a cheque and money order, manual payment can be entered against outstanding charges.
• AFFILIATE SUPPORT
Affiliates can sign up for an affiliate account through their current shop account, or set up new account. They can select to be paid by an Account Credit, PayPal, nochex (This option is set by admin, so he may only allow account credit, or may choose to allow 2 or more options). The payout formula can be a flat rate per referral, or based on a percentage. The affiliate can view their referrals & sales online at any time in their account. Credits for referred orders are not applied to the affiliate's account until the admin changes the order status to 'complete'. Also, payouts can be delayed to prevent payouts on refunded or fraudulent orders.
• NEWSLETTER FEATURE
Unlimited newsletters can be defined that users can manage in their account area. They can choose to subscribe or unsubscribe to these newsletters, and when the admin/manager sends an e-mail to the subscribed users, personalize each e-mail with the user's name, as well as add a custom 'unsubscribe' link at the bottom of the message, allow to send in groups set by admin, as some servers like mine have problems E-mailing thousands of users at once, however I can send them in bulks of 100, 200, etc, there is a current module which can do this within XOOPS so there is little worked needed just integration.
