Besides, users will have the option to unsubscribe during this stage at no cost.

Undoubtedly, users will make a more favorable decision without fear of an uncertain future.

 

How to include this new feature in your store?

Creating the plan and activating the free trial period is super easy. Right there, each administrator will be able to select the validity period, either 15 or 30 days. That’s it! Now your users can enjoy the free trial period with your plan.

 

How do your users access the trial period?

The possibility of accessing a free trial plan is very simple for your users. To do so, they must follow the steps below:

  1. The user will access the subscription registration screen. There, they will see that they can get a free trial of the plan’s subscription.
  1. On the plan details page, the user will see a message explaining that he/she will be able to enjoy the plan’s content for free during the trial period. 
  2. By selecting their preferred payment option, users will get to the payment method’s checkout.
  3. From the moment the user finishes with checkout, he/she will return to the store. There, the platform will inform the user when the end date of the trial period is.
