1. Introduction to Subscription Plans

  • A subscription plan consists of various items such as recurring services, usage, commit plus overage, and one-time charges. 💡

  • Various options are available for the subscription term length.

4. Understand Subscription Term Options

  • The standard term aligns all items based on the subscription start date and indicated term.📅
  • For custom terms, set the subscription level end date, which defines the end date for all items.
  • Note that one-time subscription lines are only active for one day.⚠️
  • The subscription level end date for custom terms remains editable until any subscription line becomes active.🔄

  • Specify if the item is Required or optional.✔️
  • Choose the Type (options include one-time, recurring, usage, commit-plus overage).🔍

  • Click on Add for each item line to include them in the subscription plan. Repeat this for all necessary items. ➕

9. Set Renewal Preferences

  • On the Renewal subtab, set preferences for automatic renewal and uplift pricing, if enabled. 📈
