This section explains how to become a SubscriptionBridge merchant and begin to integrate your online store.

1. Go to http://www.subscriptionbridge.com/signup to sign up for a SubscriptionBridge merchant account. Complete the sign-up process and provide valid values for all fields. You will need the federal tax ID number for your business or a credit card and your Social Security number.

Using the SubscriptionBridge Merchant Center, you will set up the subscription-based products and/or services that you wish to sell. The system will generate a link for each of them. You will take that link and place it on one or more of your Web pages (or even an e-mail newsletter) as a text link (e.g. “Buy Now”), image button (e.g. “Buy Now” button), or HTML form.

When customers click on the link or button, they will be taken through a quick checkout process. When an order is successfully placed, SubscriptionBridge will setup their new subscription and inform all parties involved.

The checkout process is a simple, two-step process where customers:

• Click on one of the links you have placed on your Web site (e.g. two subscriptions to your gymnasium: “Gym Membership - Nights & Weekends” vs. “Gym Membership - Extended Access”)
• Review the product/service that they are subscribing to including terms and conditions, trial pricing (if any), regular pricing, etc.
• Select additional features, if any (e.g. add “Locker Rental” to a “Gym Membership - Nights & Weekends”)
• Add their selection to the shopping cart
• Use a quick, one-page checkout system to place their order.

SubscriptionBridge will setup a new subscription based on your merchant settings (e.g. which payment system to use) and the customer's selections (i.e. selected items, total price).

• The customer's credit card will be temporarily authorized for a small amount for verification purposes. The transaction is voided immediately after being authorized, so the customer is never charged.
• If there is a trial period, the trial will start and the trial price (if any) will be charged
• If there is no trial period, the regular subscription amount will be charged
• E-mail notifications will be sent to both you and your customer.

You can personalize the SubscriptionBridge checkout process by adding your logo and changing some of the colors used in the graphical interface.
