Note
Plans can also be created and managed in the Billwerk+ Admin.
If you are just testing, you can use the same values as in the screenshot below. Remember to click on Create plan at the bottom.
Now your plan is created and attached to your WooCommerce product. To verify this, you should be able to see the plan now as chosen under Choose existing plan. Here you have also the option to update the plan, but notice the Supersede Mode section.
If you want to attach some Add-ons to the plan, you can click on the Add-ons section and click New add-on. Here you will see a similar view, where you can either Create new add-on or Choose existing add-on.
After you have created a couple of add-ons you will see something like this. Remember to save.
Reepay Variable Subscription
If you would like to create a Reepay Variable Subscription instead, you will see something like this after heading to the Variations section:
Same principle as before: Either Create new plan or Choose existing plan.
Subscription-based shipping
If you are selling box subscriptions and need to charge your customer for shipping at each renewal, you can configure add-on-based shipping.
Simply go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping .
Click one of your zones → Add flat rate shipping method.
Then create a new add-on or choose the add-on you would like to use in the Reepay Add-on section.
