Forumotion packages allow you to enrich your forum with additional features. As you know, Forumotion offers for many years the possibility to create a free forum, with a rich diversity of features. If, by default, our forums offer most of the tools necessary for the proper use and development of your forum, some paid options can enhance it with new features, and improve your members' experience (ads deletion, SSL certificate, custom domain name, etc.). Until now, these paid options were dispersed in the administration panel. Today, and thanks to the arrival of Forumotion packages, the purchase of a package will allow you to access a set of additional features, while leaving you free to activate or not, step by step, each of these options. What are the different offered packages ?Forumotion forums offer three packages: Free, Advanced and Premium. Here is a non-exhaustive presentation:
Advanced package: in addition to the features offered by the free package, the advanced package offers, among other things, more storage space, a higher newsletter limit, the possibility to activate an SSL certificate or to acquire a domain name, etc. Premium package: it is the most complete package, offering the most functionalities, such as the monetization of the forum, the suppression of copyrights, an improved search which extends to the content of messages, the personalization of the"Popular content" newsletter, etc. Features of Forumotion packagesDepending on the package you choose, Advanced or Premium, you will have access to some additional features. Details of the features included in each package are presented in the general table on your Administration panel Misc Forumotion packages.
How to subscribe a Forumotion package?The subscription to a package can be done with two payment methods: an annual payment, or a monthly payment. Only the founder can subscribe a package.Annual paymentIn this case, you pay your package in a single payment, for a validity period of one year.Go to your Administration panel Misc Forumotion Packages. At the bottom of the column of the package you are interested in (Advanced or Premium), click on "Per year" in the payment method line, before clicking on the "Order your pack" button:
Note that the annual payment of a package includes 2 months offered. It can be done via credits, the virtual currency specific to Forumotion forums. Subscribing to a package on an annualized basis requires a sufficient credit balance on the forum. You can buy credits via Allopass, Paypal, Hipay or Skrill. The activation of a package subscribed via an annual payment is immediate and requires no waiting. Monthly paymentWithout expiry date and no commitment, it allows you to access Forumotion packages by paying very accessible monthly installments and to spread the payment of your package. Go to your Administration panel Misc Forumotion Packages. At the bottom of the column of the package you are interested in (Advanced or Premium), click on "Per month" in the payment method line, before clicking on the "Order your pack" button:
Attention, the monthly subscription to a package is only possible by Paypal (the PayPal account has to be linked to a valid card or bank account). The activation of a package subscribed via a monthly payment is not immediate and requires a waiting time that can sometimes goes up to several minutes. This waiting time is independent of the Forumotion will, but is necessary to receive the confirmation of the monthly payment from Paypal. In this case, a message reminds the administrator that a payment authorization request is pending with Paypal:
As long as this warning message is displayed, it means that your previous payment confirmation request has not yet been received by Forumotion. Therefore, you do not have to submit a new payment. Stop or change a paymentSwitching from a monthly payment to an annual payment or vice versaSwitch from monthly to annual payment: this is only possible with an upgrade of your package. Indeed, an Advanced package activated via a monthly payment can be transformed into a Premium package paid annually. In this case, a refund in proportion to the price of the monthly Advanced package already paid and not consumed will be done to the forum.
Switch from annual to monthly payment: this is only possible with an upgrade of your package. Indeed, an Advanced package activated via an annual payment can be transformed into a monthly Premium package paid monthly. In this case, a refund in proportion to the price of the annual Advanced package already paid and not consumed will be done to the forum.
Anyway, if you had already bought the Premium package and you want to change its payment type,you will have to wait for the package to expire in order to subscribe again with the desired payment method. Stop a paymentAnnual paymentThe annual payment is made in one time and allows to activate the chosen package for one year. It is therefore not a subscription but a single purchase valid from date to date. There is no payment to stop under this plan annually paid. As the package expires, the founding administrator is free to manually renew it for an additional year if he wishes. If not, the package expires and the forum falls back into a free package.Note that additional paid options acquired as part of a package (domain name or additional storage) are not lost and remain active until their respective expiration dates. Monthly paymentThe monthly payment method is a subscription without expiration and without commitment via Paypal. Once the subscription is in place, every month, a monthly payment corresponding to the agreed price for your package will be debited from your Paypal account. This will automatically credit your forum with the number of credits needed to renew your current package for the following month and so on.However, if the administrator wishes to suspend this payment, he can very easily do so from his administration panel Misc Summary & Management Summary You just have to click on the "Stop monthly payment" button.
A confirmation is necessary to validate the operation:
The cancellation of the monthly withdrawal of the current package is taken into account. As the current month has been already paid, the end of the monthly payment and the deactivation of the package will only be effective at the end of its current validity period. Example: I subscribed an Advanced package in monthly payment on January 01, so my package is active until January 31 and will be automatically renewed via Paypal on this date. I request a cancellation of my monthly package on January 20. As I have already paid in advance in January, the cancellation will be registered on January 20 but will be effective only on January 31 after the expiration of the validity of my current package. On February 01, my forum will be in Free package and no more debits will be made to my Paypal account. Remarks
