Offerings

An offering is a combination of plans and pricing options; plans are combined with one or more pricing options to form an offering.

For example, your company provides online streaming of movies, web-series, and music. Your customers can purchase these services through either a weekly or monthly pricing option.

Offering plans can be either:

• a subscription plan, created within an offering.
• a Product Experience Manager product, see Create a product

Building an Offering

When you are building an offering:

• you can create new pricing options and plans.
• you can modify existing plans and pricing options. For example, you can modify the plan price or any attributes of a pricing option included in the offering.

Here's how you build an offering:

When building your offerings you must supply the plans and pricing options that a customer can choose. An offering can consist of many combinations of a plan or pricing options, depending on the plans and services you offer.

Plans can either be subscription plans or Product Experience Manager products. To create a Product Experience Manager product, see Create a product

Pricing options are the rules that govern your subscription, for example, any discount.

• You can combine and reuse pricing options for as many plans as you want, making it quick and easy to create your subscription offerings.
• An offering must have at least one pricing option.
• Each plan must have the appropriate pricing option associatedf with it

When a customer chooses a plan and pricing option, a subscription is created. See Subscriptions. Elastic Path Subscriptions manages the billing and recurring payments associated with the subscription. See Invoicing and Billing.
