 +====== ProductCart - SubscriptionBridge Integration: Linking Products & Packages ======
  
 +===== Create a subscription "package" =====
 +
 +Now that you have linked your ProductCart-powered store to SubscriptionBridge Add-On, you will want to begin configuring your subscription-based products and settings in your store catalog.
 +
 +What you will do is link products in your store catalog to subscription "//[[merchant_guide:packages|packages]]//" that have been defined in your SubscriptionBridge Merchant Center. If you're not familiar with how to create a subscription package, take a few minutes to review the following sections of the SubscriptionBridge User Guide
 +
 +  * [[merchant_guide:getting-started|Getting Started]]
 +  * [[merchant_guide:packages|Packages]]
 +
 +Make sure that you have created at least one package in SubscriptionBridge before continuing onto the next steps.
 +
 +===== Products and subscriptions: how it works =====
 +
 +When a link is created between a subscription package and a product in your store catalog, the product will share all the attributes of the package. The product will be automatically //flagged// as a subscription package and will be available for purchase as such. 
 +
 +ProductCart products linked to packages will automatically display all of the relevant package terms in the storefront, by retrieving them dynamically from SubscriptionBridge. 
 +
 +When an order has been placed, ProductCart will send SubscriptionBridge all the information it needs to start the subscription.
 +===== Linking a product to a package =====
 +
 +Remember to create at least one //package// in your SubscriptionBridge Merchant Center before following the steps below. Once you've done so, linking a package to a product or service in your ProductCart-powered store is quite easy.
 +
 +  - In your ProductCart Control Panel, create a new product (if needed), or you can certainly use an existing product. For example, you could create a new product called "Magazine XYZ Subscription" that will be used to sell a quarterly subscription to "Magazine XYZ", or "Perfect Fit Gym Membership", which could be used to sell a monthly membership to your newly opened gym.
 +  - Select //Products > Manage Subscriptions > Create Package Link//
 +  - Use the search form to locate the product that you want to turn into a subscription. E.g. you would look for "Magazine XYZ".
 +  - On the following page, select the SubscriptionBridge package that you want to link your product to. A drop-down will list all the packages found in your SubscriptionBridge Merchant Center. If the package includes a trial price, check the corresponding check box and indicate what the price is (it could also be 0).
 +  - Click on Create Package Link to link your product to the selected SubscriptionBridge package.
