Subscriptions

A subscription is a recurring plan. The buyer pays on a regular cycle — monthly or yearly, for example — and keeps access for as long as they stay subscribed. It's a good fit for a membership site, an "all-access pass," or any offering you want to bill again and again.

What a subscription plan can offer

Setting	What it does
Billing tiers	Different options on the same plan, each with its own price and access length — for example, a monthly tier and an annual tier.
Free trial	An optional period before billing starts, so buyers can try before they pay.
What it unlocks	Either all content on your platform, or a specific set of items you choose.
Access length per tier	How long each cycle's access lasts before it renews.

Creating a subscription plan

Go to Admin → Subscriptions → New Plan.
Give the plan a name and description.
Add one or more billing tiers (for example, monthly and annual), each with its price and cycle length.
(Optional) Turn on a free trial and set its length.
Choose what the plan unlocks: all content or a specific set of items.
Publish the plan.

How renewal and cancelling work

Access renews automatically each cycle as long as the subscription is active.
If a buyer cancels, access continues until the end of the current period, then stops. They aren't cut off mid-cycle.

What the buyer sees

The plan's tiers and prices, plus the free trial if you offer one.
Ongoing access to whatever the plan unlocks.
The option to cancel; after cancelling, they keep access until the period ends.

What you see

In Admin → Subscriptions you can see subscriber counts and revenue for your plans.

Good to know

A subscription is one item per buyer — a buyer holds one active plan, billed on its cycle, not a cart of many items.
For a course someone pays for once, use a one-time price instead. See Pricing.
