  5. Vendor Monetization

Not every store owner wants to charge a commission on every vendor sale. Another good alternative to earn recurring revenue is through a subscription model.

To better understand, let's take an example;

Amaza Marketplace offer different subscription level with different restrictions to give flexibility to customers.

Standard

Subscription: 6 Months
Restriction: 10 items and 2 item images
Price: $15

Premium

Subscription: 1 Year
Restriction: 200 items and unlimited item images
Price: $99

Requirements

  1. jSubscription to handle the subscription and restriction.
  2. jMarket for the marketplace and Commission system
  3. jClassified if you are integrating jSubscription and jClassifieds together
  4. jAuction if you are integrating jSubscription and jAuction together
  5. jDloads if you are integrating jSubscription and jDloads together

Step 1 Create a Subscription

  • From the admin panel, navigate to jSubscription >> Subscription >> Click "New" button. Refer to article "New Subscription" for more detailed guidelines.
  • Decide the Subscription type you want to use. Select below types to see the detailed setup
  • Click save when you are done
  1. Unlimited
  2. Time Limit
  3. Credit Limit
  4. Time and Credit Limit

Step 3 Add Subscription restrictions

Important to Note

If you select a restriction, make sure the restriction selected is available to all your active subscriptions.

For instance if you limit to 10 items for Silver Plan while Unlimited for Gold Plans, the "item create restriction" need to be added to both Subscriptions.
Otherwise if restriction is only added to one of your subscription then it won't work, even if you have Free subscription the restriction need to be added if you have 2 or more available subscription.

For unlimited, set the value to the maximum numeric value possible or 0.

These are the available restrictions

  1. Restrict Item Creation
  2. Restrict Item Image Upload
  3. Restrict Vendor Area
  4. Restrict Vendor Registration
  5. Restrict the number of Downloads
  6. Restrict Maximum Auction Bid
