Create Plan
Learn in detail about how to create a plan in Cashfree Payments.
Plan lets your customers identify the features you offer along with the pricing. You can create multiple plans from which your customers can see how frequently they’ll be charged for a plan and the unique set of features for each plan and choose a plan that’s right for them.
Example: Netflix Plans - Premium, Basic, Standard, Mobile. Each plan differs and caters for a particular set of audiences.
Cashfree Payments offers two charge models that you can use to charge the customers, Periodic and On-Demand. Click here to know more. To charge your customers for subscriptions, you must first create a plan.
