Plans Pricing

A plan price in Business Manager is a combination of the following values:

• Subscription price. This is a price you charge your customers for using services during a billing cycle. You can set multiple billing cycles with different prices for a single plan. For example, set the price to $10 for a 6-months subscription and $15 for a 1-year subscription.

  You can also define one-time charge - setup fee - for your plans. For customers who upgrade or downgrade their subscriptions to other plans, you can also set upgrade and downgrade fees.

• Tax. If your country's legislation implies levying taxes on customers, you can include these taxes in the plan price. Learn how to set up taxes for your services in Business Manager in the chapter Configuring Taxation.

  After you create certain taxation policies and apply them to the plans, do not forget to configure online stores where you will sell these plans to display prices properly: including taxes (gross prices) or excluding them (net prices). You can do this at Business Setup > Online Stores > <store name> > Change Settings > Payment Options tab.

• Burstable plan prices (for hosting plans). If you allow subscribers to use Panel resources beyond plan limits (or allow pay-as-you-go web hosting), the subscribers will pay these prices for each unit of a resource that they consumed over the limits during a month. To learn how Business Manager defines calculates the monthly costs of resources overage (usage charges), see the section Calculating Usage Charges. To allow resources overage, choose the appropriate option for the Web Limits > Pay-as-you-go web hosting on the Properties tab of the plan settings page.

The elements for setting subscription prices, taxes, and overuse fees are located in plan settings, on the Prices & Taxation tab.

You can reduce plan prices for promotional purposes by using discounts, coupons, and customer groups. Find more information on using these mechanisms in the section Coupons and Discounts and the section Limiting Discounts and Exempting Subscriptions from Suspension.

If you use accounting facilities included in Business Manager, you can define what information to add to the ledger after generation and payment of each invoice. Learn how to define this format in the section Creating General Ledger Entries for a Plan.
