The ‘Multiple Subscription Plans’ system was created for those of you have a website that offers multiple types of streaming content. For example, if you are a teacher or have a website where students can be tutored by you or by a group of teachers, there could be different ‘courses’ or ‘subjects’ offered at a price. If a student wants help with History, they will subscribe to the ‘History’ plan and have access to all the content related to this subject. They will not have access to English, Science, or other subjects. A student can also purchase subscriptions to multiple subjects or alternative, purchase the ‘Global Subscription’ which gives them access to everything on the website.
These subscriptions can be applied to anything out there including gyms, online courses, trade shows, a streaming website, etc.
