Plans & pricing (official edition)

Set the paid edition's feature prices, account tiers and bundle discounts, and the licence plans sold on the website.

Plans & pricing is where you set what the paid edition of HF Panel costs. A licence carries the features it unlocks (the panels and modules) and an account limit. People either buy one of your plans or build their own bundle on the website, and the same prices are used everywhere: the website, the order page and the licence manage page. This screen exists only on the official edition.

Where: Server Admin › Business › Plans & pricing (official edition only; a tab of the Business screens)

How a price is worked out

A bundle costs (base price + the prices of the chosen features) × the account tier's multiplier, less the bundle discount, rounded to 2 decimal places. Prices are per month.

The bundle discount depends on how many paid modules are chosen: modules (not panels) with a price above 0. When several discounts apply, the one with the highest number of modules counts.

Tip: a plan with a fixed price ignores the formula. Its worked-out price is still shown next to it, so you can see how much of a discount the plan gives.

Plans

The Plans card lists every plan in its order, with its features, account tier, price and whether it is Shown on the website or Hidden. Most popular marks the plan the website highlights.

Create or edit a plan

Click New plan, or Edit next to a plan.
Fill in the plan and click Save plan.

Field	What it does
Name	The plan's name on the website and in licences.
Key	Lower-case letters, digits and dashes, filled in from the name. It is used in licences and website links, so it cannot change later.
Description	One line shown under the name on the website.
Included features	The panels and modules of the plan, grouped Panels and Modules. At least one panel is needed.
Account tier	How many hosting accounts the plan allows.
Order	Where the plan appears; lower numbers come first.
Price	Worked out from the prices, or Fixed price with the amount per month.
Show on the website	Untick to keep the plan for licences you set up yourself.
Mark as most popular	Highlights the plan on the website.

The dialog shows the Worked-out price as you tick features, checked by the licence server itself.

Delete a plan

Click Delete next to the plan and confirm. Licences on the plan keep their features and account tier; they show as a Custom bundle from then on.

Prices

The Prices card holds every price of the formula. Click Save prices when you have changed them.

Setting	What it does
Base price	What every licence costs before features.
Panels / Modules	One price per feature. A module priced 0 is free and does not count towards bundle discounts.
Account tiers	Each tier's name, number of Accounts (0 = unlimited) and Multiplier. Use Add tier for another one. A tier that a plan uses cannot be removed.
Bundle discounts	From paid modules and the Discount (%) it gives. Use Add discount for another step.

Note: new prices apply to new orders and plan changes. Running subscriptions keep their price until the licence holder changes their plan.

Change a licence's plan or features

On the Licences tab, each licence shows its plan (a plan's name, Custom bundle or All features for licences from before plans) and its features. Use the Plan and Feature lists above the table to show only some licences.

Open Manage next to the licence and click Change plan / features.
Choose a Plan, or Custom bundle to tick features and choose the Account tier, or All features.
Check the New price, the difference from what the licence costs now and what is Charged now (prorated).
To charge the owner through the licence's subscription, tick Bill the owner through the licence's subscription. Without it the change is saved at once and nothing is charged.
Click Change plan.

Upgrades take effect at once. A billed downgrade takes effect at the end of the paid period. The licensed server picks the change up at its next licence check, or straight away when its administrator clicks Check now.
