General description

Using this feature you can crate multiple subscription packages that you want to offer to property owners. If you enabled this feature and don`t yet have subscription packages defined, you`ll see a red warning telling you that you have enabled subscription handling, but not yet created any subscription packages therefore only Super Property Managers will be able to create properties on your server.

Usage

You can crate multiple subscription plans/packages that can have a different price and a different number of properties that an owner can add to your site. When the property limit of the subscription plan has been reached, the owner will be prompted to upgrade his subscription to be able to add more properties.

To add subscription packages, click on the 'Subscription packages' button in your Jomres control panel and you`ll be taken to a new screen. Here you can see a list of the available subscription packages. If you never used this feature yet, the the list will not contain any records.

Creating a new subscription package

To create a new subscription package, click on the 'New' icon and you`ll be taken to a new screen where you can set the particularities of this subscription plan.

1. Enter the name of your subscription plan (For example: 'Basic')
2. Enter the subscription package description (for example: 'with this package you can add one property')
3. Select the frequency at which you want to charge the guest for this subscription plan. Available options are M/Q/B/A (Monthly/Quarterly/Bianually/Anually)
4. If you want to offer a trial period for this subscription plan, then set 'Trial period' to 1,2,3 (months).
5. Set the trial amount you wish to charge the property owner for the trial period. Usually this is 0, or an amount lower than the normal subscription package rate (full amount).
6. Set the full amount of this subscription plan that you wish to charge property owners.
7. Set the maximum number of properties that a property owner can add to your site using this subscription plan (for example: 1)
8. Select the tax rate that applies to this package for the available tax rates dropdown.
9. Save changes

After saving the new subscription package, you`ll be taken back to the subscription packages list where now you can see the newly created package. Repeat this process if you want to add more subscription packages from which the owners can choose.

Editing a subscription package

To edit a subscription package, click on the 'Edit' icon corresponding to the package you want to delete and when arriving to the next screen, make the necessary changes following the instructions provided for adding a new subscription plan. Hit 'Save' to save changes or 'Cancel' to return to the subscription packages list without saving the changes.

Deleting a subscription package

To delete a subscription package, click on the 'Edit' icon corresponding to the package you want to delete and when arriving to the next screen, click on the trash can icon.

Final notes

Subscription packages differ from one another by the maximum number of properties that can be added and by price. There is no other criteria at the moment to create different subscription packages.
