Subscription Add-ons
Overview
Add-ons are additional subscription options that extend the features or limits of a main plan. They are linked to an active main plan and cannot exist independently. Add-ons are particularly useful to support temporary campaigns, add new domains, purchase extra data, or expand consumption allowances beyond the main plan’s limits.
Main Add-on Types
| Add-on Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Additional Branded Campaign | Temporary extension (6-month term) that allows you to run an extra branded VTO campaign or catalogue. |
| Additional Domain | Extension (12-month term) that enables the use of an extra domain for an existing plan. |
| Data Pack | Prepaid data add-on that increases the available data transfer (GB) for a subscription when approaching or exceeding the main allowance. |
Depending on your business needs, multiple add-ons may be attached to the same main plan.
Structure of an Add-on
Each add-on includes:
- Parent plan dependency: An add-on is always linked to an active main plan.
- Service inheritance: Add-ons share the same service set and domain restrictions of the parent plan.
- Allowances: Defined limits such as additional SKUs, storage, or data transfer depending on type.
- Duration: A fixed period (6 or 12 months depending on the add-on type, or until consumption for prepaid Data Packs).
- Renewal: Add-ons can be renewed or replaced when they expire, but only while the parent plan is active.
