An account may contain a number of subscriptions. A subscription is usually a setup where a customer must pay a subscription price to have access to the product/service that a company sells. A subscription sells periodical, i.e. monthly, annual, or seasonal use or access to a product or service.
A subscription:
- has one user
- can be linked to one billing group
- can have one or more related services
- can have one rate plan.
The subscription list can contain the following information:
- Type of product/service
- status of the subscription (active, terminated etc.)
- start date and end date
- usage if the usage of the product/service is monitored
- details about the subscription, e.g. rate plan and add-on services.
Examples:
Industries can use a model with multiple subscriptions on one account include book clubs, record clubs, telephone companies, cable television providers, cell phone companies, internet providers, pay-TV channels, software providers, business solutions providers, financial services firms, fitness clubs, and pharmaceuticals, as well as the traditional newspapers and magazines.
