Pre-paid subscriptions allow your customers to pay for multiple orders upfront while ensuring they receive their product regularly.
For example, the customer is delivered monthly but pays every 3 months upfront for all the next 3 deliveries together.
How does Pre-paid option benefit your business?
Pre-paid subscriptions' main benefit is increasing customer retention. Where one monthly subscription may cost $10, purchasing a three-month pre-paid subscription might only cost $27, and a six-month subscription may only cost $48.
So basically, if the customer pre-pays for their next 3 or 6 orders, they get a 10-20% discount. This way, customers can pre-pay for their subscriptions and save while your business benefits from increased customer retention.
How does it look on the product page?
You can define multiple pre-paid options with different frequencies on one product. You don't need to change the actual product price to create pre-paid selling plan. Subify will automatically calculate the prices based on the details you define and show them to customers.
Customers can choose between pre-paid options in the widget and compare the price of pre-paid option per every order with the one-time purchase price. So, if a product costs 10$ and the pre-paid option for 3months has a 10% discount, customers compare the 10$ with 8$ per each order.
They can also see the total price they have to pre-pay in the product price section.
