Price increase with subscriptions

If I change the price of a subscription, will it also affect subscriptions that are already in place?

I think it should be an option to let you pick if you want to grandfather in those who are already subscribed to the lowered price or increase their monthly rate as well

MagikΒ I agree! It must be updated for my hosting services but not for some other subscriptions' grandfathering.

Shahjahan JewelΒ Nishat ShahriyarΒ any input on this??

Shahjahan Jewel

MagikΒ no. We create the subscription on payment methods itself so it will not be changed until cancelled. That’s how we designed it.

Magik

Shahjahan JewelΒ noted. So, just to clarify, if we change the price of a subscription, those who are already subscribed would be grandfathered in with their old pricing?

Shahjahan Jewel

MagikΒ exactly. That's how it works.

Shahjahan JewelΒ Thank you for clarifying, then I know how to set things up

If I change the price of a subscription

\=> first of all you do not have the option to change the price of an existing subscription in FC. All you can do is, change the price of a product which has subscription as payment type.

will it also affect subscriptions that are already in place?

\=> For example if your previous product price was 20$, sold at 20$, will continue to charge 20$ even if you update the price of the product..
So, the short answer is "NO"

Ripon SarkarΒ That is good to know, thank you πŸ€—

Bob

Ripon SarkarΒ So if you change the price it will affect people who are already on that subscription product?

Diana van der Pol

BobΒ No, it will not. They will be grandfathered into the price they paid

Bob

Diana van der PolΒ Gotcha. Thanks.

Honestly... I'm fine with that. It's good to know how that functions.

for those who want to grandfather in a product subscription, simply create a new product in its place with the updated price and hide the previous priced product from the store via a category filter (price change).
