How do HostShop Package Plans work?

HostShop Package Plans are the way to create package bundles and plans for your customers. Plans allow you to give your customers an allowance of hosting packages so that they can migrate and create websites within their given allowance limit. 

• Like with other hosting products in HostShop, to use HostShop Plans you'll need to first create the Package Types for your plans here. When a customer buys a plan, they'll be able to make as many packages of the selected Type as the plan allows. 
• Once you've created your Package Types you'll need to go to the Product Catalogue in the HostShop section of your account. 
• You'll then need to select Add New > Product and configure the product you are setting up.

This plan will determine what type of Package your customers can create if they purchase this Plan, which in turn will determine the options and limitations of each package they create within this. 

You'll also need to select the number of packages that you want to allow customers to create using the Number of Packages in Allowance dropdown. 

Should you wish to set a custom amount, select Custom and the dropdown box will change to a field where you can enter a custom number.

You'll then need to choose a price for the plan and what payment intervals are available then click Create Product.

This will create the Plan as a product in your HostShop, and by default set it for sale. 

You can now also customise the name, and description and toggle whether the product is for sale and shows in your shop. 

Once a customer has bought a plan, they will be able to create packages for their websites - subject to the limits you've set - in the Manage Service section of their StackCP dashboard.
