Both Subscriptions and Agreements can be found in the left-hand menu under Transactional.
Understanding the difference between an Agreement and a Subscription
A subscription refers to a commitment to an agreement, while an agreement is the contract or product that the contact has subscribed to.
To understand the difference between a subscription and an agreement, think of a Netflix subscription. When you purchase a subscription, everything related to the amount and frequency of falls under an agreement.
Shared/personal agreement
There are two main types of agreements: shared and personal.
-
Shared Agreement
Creating a shared agreement helps maintain a unified contract-based framework for all its subscribers. This type of agreement is ideal for situations where you have a specific type of agreement, such as a membership, where amounts, frequency, and billing dates are the same for everyone.
Should you change the amount for a shared agreement, it will affect all subscribers within that specific agreement.
-
Personal Agreement
A personal agreement is the most common type used in OnlineFundraising. Unlike in the shared agreement, there is no overarching framework. You will see this when a form allows for individual choices regarding the amount or frequency of an agreement.
Understanding the different statuses
Agreements
Applicable to both shared and personal agreements, agreements can be in one of two states: Available and Archived. If an appointment is no longer in use, you can archive it.
Subscriptions
-
Pending
This status means the subscription is awaiting the activation of the payment method, typically seen with direct debit.
-
Active
The subscription is in an active state, and future payments will be charged.
- Expired
The subscription has exceeded its expiry date and will not charge any more payments.
- Inactive
The subscription is inactive, and billing has been stopped. - Archived
The subscription has been archived, and no further payments will be made. -
Error
The subscription has an error. See our list of error and cancel codes here.
