 No, there is no limit to the amount of subscriptions that you can manage through SubscriptionBridge.
+==== Can I use SubscriptionBridge to spread out payments for a product/service over N months? ====
+Yes, absolutely. Let's assume that you are using a [[cartintegration:cartintegration|shopping cart]] that has been integrated with SubscriptionBridge. Let's also assume that you want to allow customers to purchase a certain product or service by making 12 monthly payments. You would do the following:
+  - First, you would create a subscription package setup like this:
+    - Package name = Product name
+    - Package price = 1/12 of the product price
+    - Billing period = Monthly
+    - Billing Occurrences = 12
+    - Billing interval = 1 (every month)
+    - Trial = none
+  - You will then link that product to the SubscriptionBridge package via the shopping cart integration. For example, if you are using ProductCart, you would link a product in the ProductCart Control Panel to a subscription package [[cartintegration:productcart:getting-started|as described here]].
+  - Set the price of the product in the shopping cart to be the same as the monthly subscription price. The [[developer_guide:developer_guide:terms_widget|Terms Widget]] shown on the product details page and during checkout would make it clear to customers that they are signing up for a 12-month payment plan. You can also state the same on the product details page.
