Selling Subscription-based Products and Services
How it all works in the SubscriptionBridge System
In your SubscriptionBridge Merchant Center you will…
Why creating packages?
In SubscriptionBridge you will mix products, plans, and features to create all sorts of subscription-based products and services (packages) that share some of their characteristics. For example, if you have 3 subscriptions that all share the same monthly billing with a 30-day free trial, you won't have to re-enter those billing details 3 times, but rather simply select a plan that includes them.
SubscriptionBridge was built this way to:
- give you maximum flexibility
- minimize redundant entries
Why separate features?
Creating additional, optional features allows you to separate one or more items in your subscription-based product/service so that you can let customers add/remove them to/from their subscription profile at any time.
This can help you keep the initial subscription price low, then “up-sell” customers to additional, great services that you offer on top of the basic subscription.
For example, a customer may sign up for your Wine Club, but only add “Expedited Delivery” at a later time. SubscriptionBridge will take care of adjusting their subscription amount accordingly, and will charge them a pro-rated amount for the current billing period.
