Hi there.
I have a subscription business model that I integrated myself with Paypal via API. I have a monthly plan and a yearly plan, both of which provide access to my SAAS while the subscription is active.
Now, I would like to give discounts to my customers : months of free subscriptions and lower fixed price for a limited time.
I tried many things, but couldn't give a free month without suspending or revising the subscription. As the discount is favorable to my customers, and could happend without actions on their side, I don't want to ask them for action to get the discount or notice them that their paypal subscription is suspended that could make confusion because they keep the service, they just get it freely for X months.
I succeed to reduce the fixed price of a subscription, but never for the value of 0€, and not temporarily.
Idealy, I would like to change the plan of my customer to a plan with X months of free trial (which I could increase) before returning to the normal price; or give them X€ "coupons" automaticaly applied once a month.
Do you have any solution to deal with this issue ?
