Description
A Limitation feature allows you to count a resource in your application.
It models a counter for users, licenses, or any quantity associated with a functionality.
The Limitation feature is particularly useful for the “Pay per seat” model.
With a Limitation feature, you can:
- Make the Limitation feature payable or non-payable
- If payable, you can define:
- the quantity included in the subscription offer. If the current quantity is not greater than the included quantity, nothing will be billed.
- the pricing for this feature.
- If free, you can indicate a limited quantity or no limit.
- If payable, you can define:
- Specify an initial quantity
- Allow or restrict the customer’s freedom to increase/decrease the counter
In the hosted pages (subscription funnel and customer portal), the customer may have the option to modify the features themselves. - Choose prorated billing or full billing
By default, billing is prorated. By selecting the “full periods are billable” parameter, increasing the quantity of this feature during a period will be billed in full.
Examples:
1st possibility: Your offer provides access to collaborators for using an online training platform. This offer has a fixed monthly cost of €6.90.
The customer has the option to grant access to one or more collaborators to access the available training courses. Each collaborator will be billed €9 per month per unit.
Here, the customer decides to grant access to 5 different collaborators, and their subscription will be billed as follows: €6.90 + 5 * €9 = €51.90 per month.
2nd possibility: Your offer provides access to collaborators for using an online training platform. This offer has a fixed monthly cost of €6.90, and the first 2 accesses to the training courses are included (offered).
The customer has the option to grant access to one or more collaborators to access the available training courses. Each collaborator will be billed €9 per month per unit.
Here, the customer decides to grant access to 5 different collaborators, and their subscription will be billed as follows: €6.90 + (5-2) * €9 = €33.90 per month.
