This attracts more customers, retains existing customers and increases sales. You have complete control over the offers you provide to your customers, such as the payment methods on which the Offer should be applied, maximum number of customers who can avail the offers and define the time of offers. ## How it Works You can create and apply offers for Subscriptions in 3 easy steps: 1. [Create an Offer from the Dashboard](/payments/subscriptions/offers/create). 2. [Create a Plan for the Subscription](/payments/subscriptions/create-plans#create-a-plan). 3. [Link the Offer to a Subscription](/payments/subscriptions/offers/link). After you create a Subscription with an Offer, customers can select the offer when making the payment, and it is applied immediately. ## How are Discounts Calculated There are 2 types of discount calculations: * [Percentage Discount Calculations](#percentage-discount-calculations) * [Flat Discount Calculations](#flat-discount-calculations) ### Percentage Discount Calculations Let us say you sell keto meals. * Plan amount = ₹1,000/month * Quantity = 2 units * Upfront amount (delivery fee) = ₹250/month * Add-on (keto chips) = ₹250/month * You offer a 10% discount up to ₹300. ``` Total amount = (Plan amount x Quantity) + Upfront Amount Total amount = (₹1,000 x 2) + ₹250 Total amount = 2,250 Discount amount = Total amount x Discount percentage Discount amount = ₹2,250 x 10% Discount amount = ₹225 ``` ### Flat Discount Calculations Let us say you sell keto meals. * Plan amount = ₹1,000/month * Quantity = 2 units * Upfront amount (delivery fee) = ₹250/month * You offer a flat discount of ₹150. ``` Total amount = (Plan amount x Quantity) + Upfront Amount Total amount = (₹1,000 x 2) + ₹250 Total amount = 2,250 Discount amount = ₹150 ``` ## Subscription Offers States A Subscription Offer has 2 states: * **Enabled**: The Offer is active and available to your customers. * **Disabled**: The Offer is disabled and no longer available to your customers. ## Customise Subscription Offers There are 3 main parameters that you can use to customise and control Offers: **Subscription Offer Type**, **Discount Type** and **Payment Method**.
