In this blog entry we will partially explain how to add shared plan under the “Plans” tab. In particular we will cover how to add different plans, setup fee, reseller plan feature and templates setup.

Setup Fee: Any setup fee associated with the plan. This will be a one time fee applied only during sign up.

Reseller Plan: If checked, this feature is enabled. It will give your existing clients the ability to create and control “Sub Accounts”.

Rank ( List Order ): The order in which the plans will appear on the front-end corresponding page as well as the order they appear in the administration area list.

Template: In order to use this feature, you must create a “Plan Template” from the “Plan Maintenance” page. “Plan Templates” serve 2 purposes, one being plan sorting on the front-end if you are using the dynamic pages and plan organization within your administration area.

For Example: You want to have 3 pages of shared hosting plans. “Shared Basic”, “Shared Platinum” and “Shared Super”. Each shared plan category has 3 individual plan packages. You would create the 9 shared plans accordingly and assign, them to the correct plan templates. On the front end, you would link to those 3 template pages accordingly instead of linking to the “shared.php” page and each page will contain 3 shared plans. Another example would be from an administrative stand point. You can sort plans by template from the “Plan Maintenance” page, so you can view plans in an organized view.

Status: Plans set to “Active” are just that and plans set to “Hidden” will not appear on the front end for purchase.

Disable Purchase: If checked, this feature is enabled. This will deny a user from purchasing the plan from the front-end.
