About the Subscription Payment Plan
Subscription Payment Plans are best for Programs or Classes where the price of the Program/Class gets invoiced and paid on a fixed frequency that recurs until canceled (annually, monthly, weekly, etc.).
If you choose "monthly" or "weekly" as the Subscription frequency, then you can choose when the first recurring payment will happen from these options:
If weekly, 1 week after enrollment, OR on a specific day
If monthly, 1 month after enrollment, OR on a specific date
Proration on a Subscription Payment Plan
How proration works on a Subscription Payment Plan is that if you choose the option "on a specific day," then the system will automatically prorate the current week or month enrolled. This means the month that the customer is enrolling will be prorated.
NOTE: One thing to keep in mind is that, within this model, people are not able to select their start date. Instead, the program begins the proration from the day that they enroll.

Example of Subscription Payment Plan
For example, let's say you want to use Enrollsy to manage subscriptions for a service or software plan. You need to charge $200/month every month until the customer cancels. This same situation can apply to a childcare business that provides care until the service is canceled.
You can start the subscription a week after enrollment or on a specific day (the next Monday, for example) and it will prorate the current week. Or you can start the subscription a month after enrollment or on a specific date (say, the 15th) and it will prorate the current month.

You can create and edit Payment Plans in two places:

Invoicing/Notifications
Under this heading, you have a few decisions to make.
The first is to decide if you want invoices sent when Auto-Pay is on or off.
The next is to set up when you want invoices sent. This is OPTIONAL.
Please choose how you want them sent (by text, email, or Account Holder's contact preference).
Select who will receive the notifications (Primary and/or Secondary Account Holder).
Pick how many days before each payment event, they will be notified (1-7 days).
Click Submit to add the Plan. You can edit or delete any of these Payment Plans anytime.
