Guide to SaaS Plan Creation, Sales, and Customer Onboarding

Modified on: Thu, 14 Nov, 2024 at 9:36 PM

SaaS Mode now supports Stripe, NMI, Authorize.net and Square for processing payments for subscriptions. The system uses the Payments module inside your 'Agency Sub-Account' to manage customers and subscriptions, which in turn is connected to your payment provider to process payments.


'Agency Sub-Account' is the sub-account that is owned by you (the Agency), which is used for managing your internal operations. None of your customers ideally should have access to this sub-account.

It is recommended to create a fresh new sub-account for managing SaaS Mode. You can also have multiple of such sub-accounts.

SaaS plans can be sold similar to any other Payments products, through funnels, order forms, payment links, invoices etc. Please refer to the below articles for help:

  1. Selling products on order forms
  2. Payment links

  4. Using products in payment element

Section 3: Onboarding SaaS Clients

  1. SaaS clients are automatically onboarded as soon as their plan purchase is successful.
  2. Regardless of the platform/mode of payment, as soon as the subscription is created for any of the SaaS products, a sub-account is automatically created with the configurations of the respective SaaS plan.
  3. Upon the successful creation of the client's account, they will get an email on their registered email address with the instructions on logging in to the system i.e. Login URL, and the steps to setup their password.
