Introduction
If you're a software vendor or service provider, you've likely struggled with the complexities of managing seats. We totally understand that challenge, and that's why we're excited to introduce our latest feature, which groups ad hoc seats under a parent subscription. This update enhances your license management, strengthens usage tracking, and provides a unified experience for manual and payment-based subscriptions.
Four key advantages of our new parent subscription feature
Whether you're an existing user or considering our platform for the first time, here are four advantages we can provide for you:
1️⃣ Effortless per-seat license management
Gone are the days of struggling to keep track of individual ad hoc licenses. With our parent subscription model, all seats (licenses) are neatly grouped under a single entity. This means you can easily manage and monitor your per-seat licensing with just a few clicks.
2️⃣ Unified API for all subscriptions
Tech teams rejoice! Special logic is no longer needed to handle ad hoc licenses. Our single, unified API manages all subscriptions, simplifying your integration process and reducing potential errors.
3️⃣ Easy plan changes
Need to upgrade or modify a customer's plan? Use our change plan endpoint to make adjustments quickly and easily, all within the parent subscription framework.
4️⃣ No payment integration required
Create per-seat plans without a checkout link or payment integration. This feature is perfect if you invoice manually or are just starting out. It’s great for enterprise deals where contracts and invoicing are preferred over self-service checkout or where customers will only pay via invoice.
Real-world scenario: simplifying SaaS license management and usage tracking
Imagine you're a SaaS provider offering a project management tool to various companies, each with multiple teams and users. Previously, managing licenses across these diverse groups was a complex, time-consuming task. Now, with our parent subscription feature, you can:
✅ Effortlessly manage seats for all users under a single parent account, regardless of their team or subscription tier
✅ Gain instant visibility into how many seats each company is using, making it easy to ensure compliance and optimise license allocation
✅ Easily modify subscription plans or adjust seat counts for any team. While changing plans may introduce new features, you can seamlessly manage seat allocations without altering the underlying license structure.
Conclusion
In conclusion, our parent subscription feature offers real, valuable benefits for your business. It significantly reduces the time spent on license management, freeing your team to focus on core activities. For tech teams, the simplified integration process means faster implementation and fewer errors. Whether you're an established company or just starting out, these improvements lead to increased productivity and more effective use of your team's expertise.
