 ===== Subscription-Based Price Plans ===== ===== Subscription-Based Price Plans =====
-Subscription-Based Price Plans allow you to charge a flat fee for a certain period of time. During that subscription period, the user can have as many active listings (auctions, classifieds...etc all listing types are cumulatively added to meet the max listing count) as you allow them to. You can still also charge for Listing Extras, such as Better Placement, Featured Listings, etc. With Subscription-Based Price Plans, the subscription period does not begin until the client places their first listing purchasing the subscription in the placement process or the client goes through the subscription renewal process to purchase their subscription.  If a client has a subscription currently in effect and go through the subscription extension process the extension time purchased is added onto the end of the current subscription. So, if they register into a User Group that is Subscription-Based, their subscription period does not actually begin until they have placed a listing (purchasing a subscription in the process) or purchased the subscription individually on your site.+

You can still also charge for Listing Extras, such as Better Placement, Featured Listings, etc. With Subscription-Based Price Plans, the subscription period does not begin until the client places their first listing purchasing the subscription in the placement process or the client goes through the subscription purchase/renewal process to purchase their subscription.  If a client has a subscription currently in effect and go through the subscription extension process the extension time purchased is added onto the end of the current subscription. So, if they register into a User Group that is Subscription-Based, their subscription period does not actually begin until they have placed a listing (purchasing a subscription in the process) or purchased the subscription individually on your site.  Remember the subscription purchased does not regulate access to view listing details unless you make the configuration to do so.  It's first purpose is to control listing placement.
  
 For example if you have a subscription period of 6 months for $x with a maximum listing count of 30....Your client can register and place their first listings.  Within the listing placement process this new client would pay the $x for the 6 month subscription.  Once the subscription is paid for that first listing would go live and their subscription is active.  The client would not need to pay for listing placement as that is covered by their subscription.  The client would not need to pay for another subscription until their current subscription expires.  For the next 6 months of the subscription that client could have as many as 30 listings live (auctions, classified,...etc) at any one time on the site.  If that client was at the their maximum listing count they would not be able to add another listing until they deleted a listing manually or any listing of theirs expired.   For example if you have a subscription period of 6 months for $x with a maximum listing count of 30....Your client can register and place their first listings.  Within the listing placement process this new client would pay the $x for the 6 month subscription.  Once the subscription is paid for that first listing would go live and their subscription is active.  The client would not need to pay for listing placement as that is covered by their subscription.  The client would not need to pay for another subscription until their current subscription expires.  For the next 6 months of the subscription that client could have as many as 30 listings live (auctions, classified,...etc) at any one time on the site.  If that client was at the their maximum listing count they would not be able to add another listing until they deleted a listing manually or any listing of theirs expired.

 A subscription covers the cost of auciton or classified placement or auction or classified renewal.  This does not cover the cost of listing extras that can be added to every listing...that is if you have setup listing extras for use within that clients price plan.  If a current subscription is in effect for a specific client and they place/renew a listing they will not be charged for the placement/renewal of that listing but would be charged for any extra features they added to that listing. A subscription covers the cost of auciton or classified placement or auction or classified renewal.  This does not cover the cost of listing extras that can be added to every listing...that is if you have setup listing extras for use within that clients price plan.  If a current subscription is in effect for a specific client and they place/renew a listing they will not be charged for the placement/renewal of that listing but would be charged for any extra features they added to that listing.

 <tip c n>When adding a Subscription-Based Price Plan into the system, the name and description of the Price Plan on the Price Plans Home page will be displayed in bold and red. This is because you have not yet set up any subscription periods for the Price Plan. As soon as you do this, the Price Plan name and description will display normally.</tip> <tip c n>When adding a Subscription-Based Price Plan into the system, the name and description of the Price Plan on the Price Plans Home page will be displayed in bold and red.
