OK, here's how I've designed this.

I'm using a SUBSCRIPTION to provide a continuity program. Every month we bill the subscriber and ship them a physical product.

The product has a price of X and the s&h is Y. Therein lies the rub.

The subscription only charges a single dollar amount, let's call that Z. Now I can certainly "fudge" matters and make Z = X + Y, but then our ability to track revenue and costs separately gets fuzzy.

Here's what I want. Charge $0 on signup for product, just s&h $Y. Set the subscription active and in 30 days charge for the product ($X) and the s&h ($Y) and ideally record both numbers in the transaction.

Rinse and repeat until cancelled.

I'm still seeking the best way to structure this, any ideas?

Thanks!
James
