On this tab, you can see the subscriptions that are applied to the reseller when the reseller assigns the products with these subscriptions to their customers’ accounts.
These subscriptions allow you to charge your resellers a set recurring fee for every customer they sign up for a service package. Read more about subscriptions sold via resellers here.

Set default discount
You can reduce the subscription periodic fees for a specific reseller by providing them a discount that, by default, will apply to all subscriptions assigned to the reseller, both directly and via products. You can manually change/remove this default discount for a specific subscription by editing an already assigned subscription.
To set a default discount for the reseller:
- Click Set default discount on the toolbar.
- In the Set reseller's default discount dialog, specify the default discount rate for the reseller’s subscriptions, e.g., 10.
When you change the default discount for the reseller, e.g., from 10 to 15%, the new rate will automatically apply to all subscriptions with the Default reseller discount option selected in the Periodic fee adjustment field.
- Click Apply.
Edit subscription details
You can edit only pending and active subscriptions. To edit a subscription, click Edit in the Actions column.
The Edit subscription configuration opens with the details of the subscription assigned.
For subscriptions assigned to resellers via products, you can change:
- The subscription plan name that is visible to end users (Name for end users field).
- The Charging period option. It can be changed when a subscription has prepaid plans (available for subscriptions with the “in advance” type) configured.
To open the corresponding subscription page to see the details, click the subscription name.
Customize the panel
- Change table settings – click Settings
in the title bar to customize columns, change row style, or reset table settings. - Re-order the columns – drag-and-drop the column headers right or left to place the columns in the order you want.
- Re-order the rows – click the arrow
(or
) next to the column header to re-sort the rows. For example, the Subscription list displays records in alphabetical order. You can re-sort them in reverse order.
- Change the default number of results globally – use the Number of results dropdown list in the bottom-right corner to adjust the maximum number of rows that appear on the panel. By default, the panel displays 25 rows. Once the number is changed, it's automatically saved, so the same number of rows is shown for PortaBilling entities, e.g., customer, account, reseller, etc.
