Problem Statement

You want to know how do I create/manage a subscription with users or licences .

Solution

To create a user license-based subscription model, you can couple a quantity-based recurring addon with a base plan.

1. First, create a flat-fee based plan with a fixed base fee if applicable. If there's no base fee involved, you can set the plan's price to $0. This will be used to create a subscription for the customer.

2. Next, create a recurring quantity-based addon(set the 'Pricing Model' as 'Per Unit') for the users/licenses set the price of each user/license as the unit quantity price of the addon.

You can also configure a Volume-based or Tier-based pricing model for the addon. Here's more on that.

Based on the customer's quantity or the number of licenses they select, the appropriate quantity of the addon can be added to the subscription when it's being created or edited.
