Create and Use the Subscription Plan

Create plans that your customers can subscribe to. Plans are billed on a regular basis and can grant access to selected communities.

Creating a subscription plan is possible in five steps:

  1. Click Subscription Plans in the list on the left.

  2. Create a new subscription plan with Neu+

  3. Edit the General information.

  4. Add benefits / communities as needed

  5. Make your subscription plan live

If you can't create a subscription plan group or make a subscription plan live, please upgrade your anny plan. For the feature, you will need at least the Essential plan & online payment activation.

Pro-Tip: When you edit your subscription plan you will always see a preview on the right how it will look for your members on the anny booking page.

2. Edit General Information of the Subscription Plan

Under the General information of your subscription plan, you can customize all factors of your subscription (e.g. description, scope, price, duration, cancellation conditions, etc.). Here you can also activate if this plan should be automatically renewed for your members or if a confirmation is required.

Pro Tip: By enabling manual confirmationyou can control who is allowed to use a particular subscription plan.

3. Communities in Connection with Subscription Plans

You can also link a subscription plan to a community. This way, each subscriber is automatically added to the community you have designated. Once the subscription expires, the member is also automatically removed from the community.

Pro tip: Add optional exclusive booking options to communities to offer special conditions to subscribers.

4. Add Benefits

Benefits can also be added to a subscription plan. This way, your members can see at a glance what benefits a particular plan brings him/her.

Example: You own a coworking space and could offer your members free participation in networking events or the mentoring program, for example.

Pro-Tip: In a specific subscription plan, you want to mark Benefits as unavailable? To do this, click on the desired benefit and click on the green check mark.


Booking quotas

You can also combine subscription plans with booking quotas, so you can set up limited free meeting room usage or welcome bonuses, for example.

Example welcome bonus:

Create a one-time booking quota and link it to the subscription to offer your customers a starter bonus, here it is up to you whether you link a quantity, duration, or budget to the contingent.

Example monthly meeting room contingent:

Create a recurring booking quota, define quantity/duration/budget, select Recurring, now you can set the period from

  • day

  • Week

  • Month

  • year

and in

  • category

  • Resource

  • Resource Group

  • Service

Pro tip: If the value of an existing quota is to be adjusted retrospectively, you can specify whether all previously issued contingents should be affected by this change.

You can find more information on quotas here, in our article on booking quotas


FAQs Subscription Plans

What is a Subscription Plan Group?

Under General information of a subscription plan, one can define the plan group. Within a plan group each member may have only one active subscription.

Pro tip: The order also determines whether an upgrade or a downgrade is performed.

In the case of an upgrade, the amount already paid will be charged proportionally. In case of a downgrade, the desired smaller subscription will be converted at the next possible billing date.

How do I sort plans?

You have an overview of all your plans under Subscription plans. We recommend sorting them by price value (i.e. from the cheapest to the most expensive plan). The order can be changed by drag-drop.

Manage Multiple Plan Groups

You can also create multiple plan groups. Big advantage: it can be added to an existing subscription plan more plans from other group .

: You own a coworking space and selected members can use additionally to their Platinum Membership the subscription plan Spinning. The subscription plan Spinning is not assigned to the plan group Membership, but to the plan group Fitness. So it is possible as one customer to take out two subscriptions in your coworking .

Pro tip: If a person has subscriptions with you in two plan groups, there is, for example, separate billing and the subscriptions can be cancelled individually.
