Pricing

Subscription price : Enter the membership price (for example, $ 29) based on either daily or weekly or monthly or yearly basis.For example, if you would like to give subscription price $ 29 for only 3 months, then enter $ $ 29 in the first text box and then choose every 3rd from the dropdown list and then choose month from third dropdown list.

Subscription length : The subscription length duration will be listed based on the recurring period you selected above. For example, if your subscription product’s duration period is only for 3 months, Choose 3 months. So the subscription will end at the end of 3rd month.If you would like to give a life time price for your subscription product (i.e.) wants to collect $29 at the end of every 3 months for lifetime, choose Never Expire to Subscription length. So $ 29 for every 3rd month for lifetime.
