Winning deals is not easy, and sometimes you need to negotiate to win the deal. This will consequently affect the subscription, with discounts or free months at start or even signing longer contracts with a gradual price increase throughout the subscription

How to plan a change in a subscription

1. Choose Advanced scheduling template for your subscription
2. Click on the plan a change button:

4. At the top, choose when the subscription should take effect from, and when the order period should start.

8. Use the preview graph to ensure your subscription is correctly added:
