Example Subscription Schedule

In the following example, we set the first three months of the subscription to £10 a month for the first three months and £20 a month for the remaining nine months.

The first three months are defined as illustrated below:

When the billing cycles have been added to the schedule, they display in the Subscription Schedule section, as illustrated below:

This provides the following information:

  • Name of the plan
  • Price of the plan
  • Currency used for payments
  • Billing frequency
  • Number of billing cycles

You can reorder the payment plans by dragging them to the position at which you want them to apply.

You can also include a recurring billing cycle, which charges the end user at the end of the payment cycle set in your payment provider. This payment plan must be the last one in the Subscription Schedule.
