Here are some must have apps in PayPlans.
Upgrade App
Its functionality is very obvious based on the name itself, and the app proves to be a time saver many times. It allows subscribers to upgrade their existing plans or switch to a higher plan. It is also possible to allow discount as an incentive while upgrading. This feat can be achieved by combining the Upgrade app with the Discount Rule.
The amount remaining in previous subscription will be transferred directly to the new subscription, and the earlier subscription will be marked expired. So, no need to worry about calculating the difference.
Renewal App
If you have returning subscribers which indicates a well flourished online presence, then this app will help your users to quickly re-subscribe to the expiring plan, without undergoing any tedious process such as re-registering themselves.
To make the renewals more irresistible for your users, you can also setup a scenario of special discount on renewing.
Social Discount
Grab more and more consumers while popularizing your product at the same time. Speaking in easy terms this app will facilitate a discount incentive for subscription payments, in-exchange with liking as well as sharing your product on social media.
Doing so will not only expose the product to millions of user on social networking websites, but also increase the probability of product purchase.
It is a simple case of people recommending you socially in exchange for a discount. This makes it one of the most wanted apps to be used with PayPlans.Subscription Custom Detail
This can be a very important app for you if you wish to get more details from users on the checkout page or in other words, the invoice confirmation area of PayPlans.
This app allows you to place an XML form in the invoice confirmation area asking for optional details to be filled by your users. Please note that the details in this app are always plan specific, eg a user purchasing multiple plans at your site can choose to opt for different information for different plans.
User Custom Detail
It is almost same as the subscription app above. Only difference is that the details filled in this app are global in nature for any subscription and is tied to individual users. Details like user's name, shipping address etc can be filled in for specific users.
In other words, information can vary for each plan(subscription custom details) but user info(user custom details) is more likely to remain same.Discount Rule
Everyone loves the feeling of being awarded a discount. Having a discount adds some kind of small satisfaction in making purchases.
If you believe in this and you are finding a solution to manage the discounts for your PayPlans subscription then look no further. This app does it all from creating a discount code to managing its validity period and from tracking the actual performance of a code to maintaining its proper database.
Taxes & VAT App
Taxes and Value Added Taxes are a significant part of any economic transaction. PayPlans has two different apps specifically for this purpose.
Basic Tax App
This app allows you to incorporate a tax percentage on the total price of a plan, on the invoice page. The buyer will simply need to select his country and the tax will be implemented on the basic price.EU VAT App
This Europion Value Added Tax is a form of consumption tax. Using PayPlans EU-VAT plugin, vat can be applied on plans on the basis of user's country. This app even allows you to set Personal Tax Rates as well as Business Tax Rates.
Terms and Conditions
Allow a professional touch to the plan subscription process on your website. To avoid any sort of grievances from consumer's as well as retailer's end, it is always best to clearly state the terms & conditions before proceeding with economic exchange.
This App is used to drive the user to accept certain Terms and conditions(ie. Rules) if he wishes to continue subscribing to a plan.
If the user does not agree to the Terms and conditions, then he won't be allowed to subscribe to the plan, as simple as that.Joomla User Type App
It is a given that every single Joomla site has its own user groups eg. Guest, Manager, Registered, Author, Super User etc. The permission levels for each of these user groups/types can be defined by the site admin.
The beauty of this app lies in assigning Joomla user groups according to subscription status with respect to each plan. For a simple instance if a user is marked active in PayPlans then he can be assigned the permission levels of registered group or if the subscription expires then the permission levels for the user can be demoted to merely publisher group.
Its completely an automated process, all you need to do is install and configure this app per your needs. Moreover this app is compatible with any Joomla extensions that utilizes Joomla user groups to create user categorization for e.g. Docman.
