Hi everyone,

I am developing a payment processor which is able to take recurring payments. As of now, i am using the contribution date as the date of the first recurring payment and i am calculating the fore coming payment dates using the frequency unit and interval.

But the users need to specify a start date to make their first payment and the fore coming payment dates can be calculated using the frequency unit and interval.

I used hook_civicrm_buildForm to inject the start date field to the contribution form. But i cant save the start date to the contribution record using hook_civicrm_postProcess, as i dont have any contribution id(because the next page is the confirmation page), as contribution record is not created at that point.

Any other idea how to do this?

I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

Hi xavier

The contributions are mostly donations. But the user must be able to specify the date of their first payment when making recurring contributions.
