Monthly Plans

• Enter the required details and click the Submit button to create the monthly plan.

• These plans can be associated with the users using the Users tab of the Admin Portal when creating or editing the user account.

• The main difference between monthly plans and normal plans is that, normal plans start their validity period when the user logs in to their account for the first time. But monthly plans start their validity period according to when the plan is associated with the user account.

• If the monthly plan is added to an user account after the commencement of starting date, the plan will be active until the starting the date of the next month arrives. But, if the plan is added to the user account before the starting date commences, the plan will end immediately once the starting date arrives.

• For example, let us consider a monthly plan that starts at the fifth day of the month. This plan will be created in advance by the admin.

• If this plan is added to an user account on 5th January or any day after 5th January (Ex: 6th January, 7th January etc) this plan will be active until 4 February. But if this plan is added to the user account on any day between 1st - 4th January, the plan will end on 4th January.

• If the user buys the Monthly plan as payable plans by themselves in the user portal, they will be given full month validity irrespective of the start date and end date.

Custom Plans

• In the Duration field, select the Custom option from the dropdown menu to create custom plans.

• When Custom option is selected, a new Start Date and End Date field becomes available. Select the start and end date.

• Enter the required details and click the Submit button to create the custom plan.

• These plans can be associated with the users using the Users tab of the Admin Portal when creating or editing the user account.

• The validity of the custom plans do not vary according to when the plan is associated with the user account. The start date and end date remains the same as that entered by the user.

Please note that the Custom plans get expired after their End Date. In other words, the Custom Plans get deleted from the plans list after the end date of the plan.
