# Subscriptions > The Odoo Subscriptions app is designed to manage recurring revenue through subscription-based products or services. Fonte: https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/assinaturas-e-locacoes/assinaturas/ The Odoo **Subscriptions** app is designed to manage recurring revenue through subscription-based products or services. It supports automated invoicing, renewal management, and customer lifecycle tracking. Subscriptions can be created manually or automatically through online sales, with varying options for recurring billing. The app integrates with other Odoo modules such as **Invoicing**, **CRM**, **Sales**, and **Helpdesk** to support end-to-end subscription workflows.

Recurrence periods are the time windows in which subscriptions are active before they renew again. While a subscription is active, customers receive products or services, and may also have access to additional benefits such as support desk triage. In terms of payment, these recurrence periods designate how often the customer is charged in order to maintain the benefits of their subscription. To configure recurrence periods, go to **Subscriptions app -> Configuration -> Recurrence periods**. By default, the **Subscriptions** app includes a number of common recurrence periods already available, such as **Monthly** and **Yearly**. Create new recurrence periods by clicking **NEW** on the **Recurrence Periods** dashboard, to reveal a blank form where the period **Name**, **Duration** and **Unit** values are specified. ![A blank recurrence period form in the Odoo Subscriptions application.](https://docs.kmee.com.br/odoo/referencias/img/applications/sales/subscriptions/recurrence-period-blank-form.png) Important The unit **Days** *cannot* be used as a recurrence period for subscription products. The daily recurrence period in Odoo is designated for rentals, and **cannot** be added to subscription-based sales orders. This limitation is there to avoid sales orders that would generate daily invoices. ## Product form configuration With recurrence periods set up, create a subscription product by navigating to **Subscriptions app -> Subscriptions -> Products**, and either clicking an existing product to turn into a subscription, or by clicking **NEW** to open up a blank product form. Note By default, the **Recurring** option is already enabled, prompting Odoo to recognize it as a subscription product. Be sure to leave the **Recurring** and **Can be Sold** options enabled. ![A basic subscription product form in Odoo Subscriptions application.](https://docs.kmee.com.br/odoo/referencias/img/applications/sales/subscriptions/subscription-product-form.png) On the product form, configure the following items in the **General Information** tab so the subscription product will function correctly: - **Recurring**: check this box to turn the product into a subscription in Odoo. - **Product type**: this value is typically set to a **Service**, however other product types may be used (e.g., physical product box subscriptions, eLearning course, etc.). - [Invoicing policy](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/vendas/faturar-pelo-entregue-ou-pelo-pedido/): set this value to when the customer should be charged for their subscription. - **Unit of Measure**: how the product should be counted in Odoo, for stock purposes. For most subscriptions, the UoM will be **Units**. - **Sales Price**: enter the recurring cost of the subscription that the customer will pay per recurrence period. Optionally set up information on the [Attributes & Variants](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/vendas/variantes-do-produto/) tab if the subscription contains multiple choices for customers (i.e. food delivery, tailored fashion boxes, etc.). In the **Time-based pricing** tab, clarify the pricing options for the subscription. For each option available, click **Add a price** to add a new row. Tip Longer time **Period** options are typically incentivized with cost savings. Consider dropping the total **Price** values to offer customers a discount while supporting the business's financial runway. Last, if the subscription is meant to be purchased on the **eCommerce** website, click the ◎ **Go To Website** smart button and in the product page header, click the gray slider from **Unpublished** to the green **Published** status. []() ## Create a subscriptions quotation Manually create a new customer subscription by navigating to either the **Sales** or **Subscriptions** app dashboards, and then clicking **NEW**. Note Products that have been marked as **Recurring** on their product forms, and are also sold on the **eCommerce** website will *automatically* create and confirm subscription quotations in the backend of Odoo. Important Sales orders with a defined recurrence period automatically become subscriptions. On the quotation form, fill in the necessary fields such as **Customer** and **Recurrence**, as well as the **Order Lines** tab. Optionally, specify a: - [Quotation Template](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/vendas/modelos-de-cotacao/), if one is readily available to help populate the form fields. - **Expiration** date, to indicate when the subscription offer is no longer valid. Tip Expiration dates pair well with [discounts](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/vendas/listas-de-precos-descontos-e-formulas/#sales-products-prices-discounts) to incentivize faster purchases, since the discount will expire with the quotation if it's not turned into a sales order within the specified date range. - [Pricelist](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/vendas/listas-de-precos-descontos-e-formulas/#sales-product-prices-pricelist), if one is available and appropriate to use (i.e., summer sale discount, VIP customer, etc.). - **Payment Terms**, to set a specified time window for when the subscription must be paid. This is not to be confused for when the quotation is *confirmed* and becomes a sales order, to where, payment may then be obtained immediately or within a certain amount of days, weeks, months, etc. ![A completed example of a new subscription quotation in Odoo.](https://docs.kmee.com.br/odoo/referencias/img/applications/sales/subscriptions/new-subscription-form.png) Tip You can define different invoice and delivery addresses by enabling the [Customer Addresses](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/financeiro/enderecos-de-entrega-e-faturamento/) feature. []() ## Confirmation Send the quotation to the customer for confirmation by clicking on **SEND BY EMAIL**, or confirm it immediately by clicking on **CONFIRM**. Tip Click on **Customer Preview** to preview the customer portal where the customer can view their quotation, sign and pay it, and communicate with you. If a signature or a payment is required to confirm the quotation, set either (or both) of these options in the **Other Info** tab, next to the **Online confirmation** field. - [Subscription plans](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/assinaturas-e-locacoes/planos-de-assinatura/) - [Upsell a subscription](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/assinaturas-e-locacoes/upsell-de-assinatura/) - [Renew a subscription](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/assinaturas-e-locacoes/renovar-uma-assinatura/) - [Close a subscription](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/assinaturas-e-locacoes/fechar-uma-assinatura/) - [Automatic alerts](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/assinaturas-e-locacoes/alertas-automaticos/) - [Reports](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/assinaturas-e-locacoes/relatorios/)
