Because you can’t limit the number of each pricing plans sold I’ve made a workaround where some VIP annual subscriptions are sold via Wix stores with an inventory and then (because there’s so few VIP options available anyway) they’re manually added to a hidden pricing plan/subscription.
Because the subscribers paid once via Stores (one-off not product subscription) though I’m just wondering what will happen at renewal time if:
a) The pricing plan is set to be one-off for a year. Presuming it will end but could automate a renewal upsell trying to get them to buy again (via store so again no oversell)?
b) The pricing plan is set to recur until cancelled. Will they be prompted to renew their payment given that when they setup the plan this was marked as an offline payment as it was manually added as a subscription.
I’ve seen the ‘if I manually add a pricing plan subscription what happens at renewal time’ type questions before but the answers were contradictory. I don’t want to find that I’ve plan members who were manually added once years ago and it’s all just carried on without charge…
Ideally (for us) Wix would allow Pricing Plans to have a cap on the number to be sold and we wouldn’t need the workaround.
(Lots of complexities to this project as lots of it must do x and y but not z from the client and it’s a mammoth international booking system across lots of sites, staff/desks, membership tiers etc. Classes and courses where there are session caps won’t work for us as each pricing plan has upto 600 booking sessions allocated to them so we really need to run these controls via Pricing Plans).
