Issue with update subscription

[jychua95]

Hi,

I attempted to adjust some subscription details and update them using the save(); method in Subscription.php, but it didn't work as expected. The details weren't updated as intended.

As example:

$subscription_id = '20';
$subscription = Subscription::find($subscription_id);
//update transactionID
$subscription->transactionId = 'abcde112345';
               
//save the subscription
$subscription->save(); <-- this not working,

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance on this matter. Thank you!

Are you seeing any Exceptions being thrown?

When you say it isn't updating as intended, are you looking for changes in the Subscriptions UI in the WordPress admin, or are you checking the transactionId property on the $subscription model?

Looking at the code, I see no reason why that wouldn't be working, so if I can better understand what you are experiencing then maybe we can find a solution.

Hello,

I created a custom plugin to manage custom recurring donations in collaboration with a payment gateway. The transactionID serves as a token that stores the customer's credit/debit card details on the payment gateway's side. Just for your information, the token was provided by the payment gateway side when the card was saved.

There's a scenario where customers might update their saved card information. Consequently, I needed to implement a custom function to update the transactionID whenever the saved card information is modified.

It appears that the save() method is not functioning as expected, and no exceptions have been thrown either.

Since my payment gateway lacks support for the recurring feature, I have no alternative but to proceed in this manner.

If there's another alternative for saving the token, I'm open to exploring it. Currently, I'm using the transactionID, but I acknowledge that this might not be the best practice.
