Currently if you want to change the price of a subscription, everyone who is currently registered must be cancelled and re-register.

I would like to be able to change the subscription price, and keep the current subscribers until they expire.

The easiest way I can think to do this, is to keep, but no longer display the old subscriptions and make a new (selectable) one for the new price.

This way, when the current subscription expires, a user will have to renew with the new one.
And recurring-subscriptions would still pay the same, old price until they cancel.

Movie, this is only a problem if you have a reoccurring subscription hack in place. See my posts to these 2 threads for further discussion:

Actually... using reocurring payments (the official one -- not the hack) I was able to do it.

I made the old subscription "non-active" so that it was no longer a selectable option.

And I created a new subscription with the higher price.

Now, new users pay the higher price, and old users either:
a) expire
or
b) if they were reocurring, they continue to enjoy the old price until they cancel.

This works fine for me.
