Addons
Optional paid enhancements that bundle with subscriptions to provide additional value to customers.
What is an Add-On?
An Add-On is an optional, paid enhancement that can be bundled with a subscription. It allows you to offer additional value to your customers on top of their primary subscription. Add-Ons follow the same billing cycle as the associated subscription and cannot be purchased independently.
For example, if you’re offering a SaaS product subscription, Add-Ons can include extras like:
- Additional Credits
- Additional User Seats
- Extra Storage Space
- Feature Packs
Add-Ons are billed in sync with the main subscription (monthly, yearly, etc.). Customers can select a quantity of each Add-On during checkout.
Merchant Workflow
Step 1: Create an Add-On
To create an Add-On:
-
Navigate to the Products section in your dashboard.
-
Click on Create Add-On.
-
Fill in the following details:
- Name: A short, descriptive name for the Add-On (e.g., “5 Extra Seats”).
- Description: Explain what the Add-On offers.
- Price & Currency: Set the recurring price and select the applicable currency.
- Tax Category: Assign a tax category for accurate tax calculation.
- Image: (Optional) Upload a relevant image or icon for the Add-On.
- Click Create to save the Add-On.
Create Add-Ons that align with common customer needs or upgrade paths.
Step 2: Associate Add-Ons with a Subscription
Each subscription plan can be associated with up to 3 Add-Ons. To do this:
- While creating or editing a subscription plan, scroll to the Add-Ons section.
- Select up to three relevant Add-Ons from the list.
- Save your changes.
These Add-Ons will now appear as optional purchases when a customer selects this subscription.
Step 3: Customer Checkout Experience
When a customer selects a subscription plan:
- The associated Add-Ons will be displayed on the Checkout Page.
- Customers can choose the quantity (if applicable) for each Add-On.
- The total subscription cost will update accordingly.
All selected Add-Ons will be billed together with the base subscription at the defined frequency.
The Add-Ons will be reflected in the invoice as well
Important Notes
- Add-Ons cannot exist independently – they must be tied to a subscription.
- The payment frequency of an Add-On will always match the subscription (e.g., monthly or annually).
- Add-Ons can only be created and managed from the Products section → Add-ons tab in your dashboard.
