How to create a subscription

The subscription creation process consists of the following steps:

3. Assign the price lists to each subscription plan created.

To add a new Subscription plan

2. The list of active dictionaries will be opened.

3. Click Add New in the top-right corner of the tab.

4. Select one of the following Type options:

   1. The Person Subscription Plan dictionary contains the subscription plan labels that will be available as subscription options for persons.

   2. The Company Subscription Plan dictionary contains the subscription plan labels that will be available as subscription options for companies.

5. Customize the subscription plans as follows (all values are visible to the client via the Web Interface):

   1. Click + to add a new subscription plan label.

   2. Set the Period parameter to define how often the subscription recurring fee should be charged from the client. The following options are available:

      1. Monthly: the subscription fee is to be charged every month.

      2. Yearly: the subscription fee is to be charged annually.

   3. Set the subscription name in the Label field.

   4. Set the Order parameter to define the subscription enumeration if needed.

      Column | Column
      :-- | --:
      Cell   | Cell

   6. Set one of the labels as Default. The default subscription plan will be active for users with no subscription selected. Thus, older profiles will be automatically assigned to a subscription.

6. Click Create to save the new Dictionary. The labels will be available in client profiles.
