4. Configure Subscription Types
A subscription type is associated to a subscription product, defining the amount that should be charged for that subscription on a monthly basis and more. Other rules that are defined within a subscription type include retry days and RTP|One hotlist codes for freezes and cancels. If your resort offers varying levels of subscriptions or charges different subscription amounts based on age group, etc. multiple subscription types can be configured and mapped to different Subscription variants. To set up, edit or add Subscription Types, follow the steps below:
Go to Aspenware Commerce > Subscriptions and toggle to the Subscription Types page by clicking Subscription Types at the top of the page.
View already configured subscription types to determine if the one you need is already created.
If a new subscription type is needed, select CREATE NEW SUBSCRIPTION.
Enter the following properties:
Name: Name it descriptively enough to differentiate types from each other as each type likely charges different amounts. I.e. “Membership Ages 3-7”
Cancel Hotlist Code: Obatin from RTP|One and make sure these are configured in accordance with steps outlined about in POS Prerequisites section of this document. This hotlist code will be sent to RTP|One in the event of a failed payment or manual cancellation. This will likely be the same code across all membership types.
Freeze Hotlist Code: Obtain from RTP|One and make sure these are configured in accordance with steps outlined above in the POS Prerequisites section of this document. This hotlist code will be sent to RTP|One in the event of a manual freeze. Will likely be the same code across all membership types.
Retry Days: Enter the number of days that the membership payment should be “retried” in the event of a failed charged. Will likely be the same code across all membership types.
Amount: Enter the amount that should be charged each month to subscribers enrolled in this membership type. Will likely NOT be the same code across all membership types.
Click CREATE to save subscription type.
Make note of the ID that is assigned to the subscription type upon creation. This value will be used later when assigning subscription products to subscription types in the product classification admin.

IMPORTANT: If changing the amount on a subscription type that has already been sold, a NEW Subscription Type MUST be configured. DO NOT update subscription types that have already been sold. If you need to make a change to pricing, simply unpublish the old subscription product, do not delete, and create a new subscription product and assign it to a new or existing subscription type. |
