Subscriptions & Recurring

Subscription Plans

Subscription plans are simply groups of subscriptions a customer can upgrade or downgrade between. Think web hosting — bronze, silver, and gold tiers. A customer might sign up for bronze, then later move up to silver or gold right from their account.

Creating a Subscription or Recurring Payment Product

Sell subscriptions with recurring payments using EasyCart’s ecommerce system. Watch as we create and manage subscriptions in this tutorial.

How It Works

What is a subscription plan?

A subscription plan is a container that groups related subscription products together and controls whether customers can move between them. Using the web-hosting example, your bronze, silver, and gold subscriptions would all belong to one plan. Because they share a plan, a customer can upgrade from bronze to gold — or downgrade — without cancelling and re-subscribing.

Setup

Editing subscription plans

Enter a name for the plan and choose whether to allow upgrading and downgrading within it. Then, when you create a new subscription product such as bronze, silver, or gold, you simply select which plan to attach that subscription to.

Stripe is required

Subscription plans are built and used with the Stripe payment processor. Not all payment gateways support subscriptions, and EasyCart integrates deeply with Stripe for recurring billing.
