What are Subscriptions?
Subscriptions allow you to charge employers or job seekers a recurring fee (monthly or yearly) to access your job board. This is useful if you want to create a premium job board or charge employers to post jobs.
Step 1: Go to Billing Settings
Navigate to "Settings" and then "Billing" or "Subscriptions" in your dashboard.
Step 2: Enable Subscriptions
Look for a toggle or checkbox that says "Enable Subscriptions" or "Subscription Plans". Turn it on.
Step 3: Create Subscription Plans
You'll need to set up at least one subscription plan. Click "Create Plan" or "Add Plan" and fill in:
- Plan Name: What you want to call it (e.g., "Basic Plan", "Premium Employer")
- Price: How much to charge
- Billing Period: Monthly or yearly
- Features: What's included (e.g., "Post 5 jobs per month")
Step 4: Set Up Tax Settings
If you need to collect taxes:
- Go to "Tax Settings" or "Tax Configuration"
- Enter your tax information
- Set tax rates for different regions if needed
- Enable automatic tax calculation
Step 5: Configure Payment Methods
Set up how customers will pay:
- Connect a payment processor (like Stripe or PayPal)
- Enter your payment account details
- Test the payment connection to make sure it works
Step 6: Publish Your Plans
Once your plans are set up, make sure they're marked as "Active" or "Published" so customers can see and purchase them.
