1. Preliminary Remarks

You can use issue-based subscriptions to sell offers with one or several price steps and/or issues.

For creating subscriptions, product contracts are required. They can be created either before or during the offer creation.

Note: For the creation of a product contract during the offer creation a price sheet is required, which must be created beforehand.

Neither several products nor bundles nor multi-user offers can be implemented with this offer type.
