How do Standard Subscription Types work?

This form helps various subscription offerings efficiently, making it easy to customize different aspects of a subscription package. Specifically, this form is for creating a new standard subscription type which does not have different phases.

Here’s a breakdown of each section and field in the form:

Details Section

• Subscription Name: The name for the subscription type. This could be something like "Monthly Premium Plan" or "Annual Basic Subscription."

• Description: A brief description of what the subscription offers or includes.

Settings

1. Duration:

   • Type: You can choose between options like "Continuous" or "Expiring," determining whether the subscription runs indefinitely or for a set period.

2. Pricing:

   • Pricing Engine: Allows you to set a pricing structure for your sub-type. This field determines how the price of the subscription is calculated.

   Engine Name	Description	Example
   Fixed Base Price	A set price for the subscription.	E.g. every order will be priced at £30 regardless of contents.
   Bulk Order Discount	A set price, which is % discounted based on the number of SKUs added	E.g. £30 subscription, gets 10% off if 5 SKUs are added, 20% for 10 SKUs.
   Product Volume Discount	All individual SKU prices are added up, and then £ discount is deducted based on the number of SKUs added from specified collections.	E.g. the subscription has different order sizes S/M/L/XL, base pricing depends on how many SKUs you add. Depending on which size subscription you purchase, you get a select £ discount.
   Multiple Product Collection	All individual SKU prices are added up, and depending on which combinations of product collections are added to a customer basket, different £ discounts get applied.	E.g. if a customer buys 2 SKUs from Collection 1, and 1 SKU from Collection 2, they will get a £5 discount.

   • Select which prepaid orders you support:

     • Quantity: This is where you specify how many orders can be prepaid, if supported.

3. Delivery Frequency:

   • Frequency: How often the subscription delivers the products or services, such as monthly, weekly, etc.

4. Products:

   • Add Products/Collections: This section allows you to select the products or product collections included in the subscription. Customers would choose from these options when subscribing.

5. Preset Order Items:

   • Add Preset Order Items: Here, you can define preselected product groupings. This could be useful for packages or bundles that you offer as part of the subscription.

At the bottom of the form, there are two buttons:

• Discard: Cancels the current subscription creation process.

• Create: Submit the information and create the new subscription type based on the details provided.
