Create Plan

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.
