This article walks through creating a new subscription package, linking it to the right feature set and pricing it for billing.
Step-by-Step
- Open Architect Panel → Subscription Packages and click New Package.
- Enter the name and slug. The slug shows up in URLs and Stripe metadata.
- Write a short description (a paragraph) — used in the marketing site's tier card.
- Set the price and currency. For multi-currency, you create a separate price per currency under Prices tab.
- Pick the billing cycle — monthly, annual, one-off. Add a second cycle if you offer both with a discount.
- Choose the feature set this package unlocks.
- Set limits — user count, records, storage. These are also passed to Stripe metadata for enforcement.
- Optional: trial days (e.g. 14 days free) — Stripe handles the timer.
- Decide visibility — visible on the pricing page, available by direct link only, or admin-only.
- Save and test by signing up a dummy customer through the regular flow.
Linking to Stripe
On save, the platform creates a matching Stripe Product and Price (or set of Prices) so that Stripe's subscription engine handles renewals. If you update price or features later, the platform syncs the change to Stripe automatically.
Worked Examples
- Yearly with discount: Pro package has two prices — £30/mo or £288/year (a 20% saving). Both tied to the same feature set.
- Multi-currency: Same Pro package priced at £30 GBP, $39 USD, €34 EUR.
- Educational discount: Same feature set as Pro but priced £15/mo, with eligibility verified by .edu email at checkout.
- Free trial: Business package has 14 trial days; Stripe doesn't charge until the trial ends.
