To locate or add a new Agreement choice, navigate to the Agreements area under the Choices section of the Marketing Ribbon.
An agreement choice will grant the customer access to content on a website for a defined period of time at a specified price and renewal.
For instructions on adding an agreement choice, go here.
| Warning |
|---|
| Timing between billing charges is not to exceed 1 year between charges. This includes, but is not limited automatic renewal or installments. For example, if offering a 2 year option for a subscription or agreement, this option cannot be offered with a renewal flag of ‘C’ on automatic renew as the timing of between charges would be over 1 year. |
These are suggested customizations for the Agreements area.
