Add-on Plans

In Parallels Customer and Business Manager, you can offer additional resources and services not included in service plans as add-on plans (or add-ons). Add-ons are listed together with plans on the Business Setup > Plans page. If a plan has add-ons, online stores show them on a separate store page, so customers are welcome to include add-ons into their order. The controls to attach add-ons to plans are available on the Add-ons tab of the plan settings page.

Typically, an add-on provides a single resource: disk space, traffic, or other resource defined for the panel group you select for the add-on. You are also free to offer multiple resources and services as a single add-on.

To let your customers choose an add-on from a list of similar add-ons, say, different amounts of additional disk space, add-ons are organized into groups. Moreover, it is mandatory for an add-on to have a related group. When buyers subscribe to a plan, they see the names of add-on groups you attached to this plan and lists of groups items - add-ons - you selected for the plan.

For example, this can look like the following:

Would you like additional disk space? (add-on group)

To see a list of plans with which you offer an add-on, go to the Plans tab of the add-on settings page.

Important: A service plan and attached add-on must have same billing cycles and currencies. Otherwise, customers will not be able to purchase this add-on.

In addition to offering hosting add-ons, you can sell SSL certificates using add-ons. For instructions on how to set up the SSL certificates selling through an add-on, see the section Offering Hosting Plans with SSL Certificates.
