# Subscription Setup

Creating and managing subscription plans is a pivotal aspect of Subrise Subscriptions. This guide will walk you through the intricacies of setting up your plans, ensuring you're well-equipped to offer a compelling subscription service to your customers. Let's break down everything you need to know about Subscription Plans.

### Understanding Subscription Plans

Subscription Plans are the backbone of your subscription model, defining how and when your customers are billed and receive your products. A well-structured plan can significantly enhance customer retention and revenue stability. Here's what you need to know to create an effective plan.

#### Billing Frequency vs. Order Frequency

* **Billing Frequency:** This determines how often your customers are charged for their subscriptions. Common intervals include monthly, quarterly, or annually.
* **Order Frequency:** This specifies how often orders are shipped to your customers. Like billing frequency, this can be set to various intervals.

**Syncing Frequencies**

Subscription Plans can have synced or divisible frequencies, depending on how you wish to bill and fulfill orders:

* **Synced:** Billing and order frequencies match (e.g., charged and shipped monthly).
* **Divisible:** Billing frequency is longer than order frequency (e.g., charged every 3 months but shipped monthly).

#### Discounts and Incentives

Offering discounts can significantly boost the attractiveness of your subscription plans:

* **Fixed Discount:** Apply a constant discount rate to your subscription plan. This can be a percentage off or a fixed amount.
* **Discount Cycles:** Implement discounts that apply for a set number of billing cycles, encouraging longer subscription commitments.
