</ul><h3>2 . Subscription Module:</h3>
<ul><li>Do you want to inform user the subscription status as well as
it's subscription start/end date without sending him to dashboard?</li>
<li>Well, we have a perfect trick. You can use the subscription
module of Payplans and display the subscribed plans to the customers.</li>
<li>By default this module is disabled, so Admin can enable it
from extension manager.</li>
<li>You can limit the number of subscriptions to be shown in the
module, or you can choose to display active or expired subscriptions.</li>
<li>If your plans are eligible for renewal then your customers
can directly renew from here using the green icon in the module.

<li>Thus, you can place the module at most attractive place on
your website and keep the customers updated about their subscription.</li>
</ul><h3>3 . Display limited subscription - only active and expired:</h3>
<ul><li>With this particular tip you can choose to display limited
subscription to the users.</li>
<li>If you want that only active subscriptions should be visible
then you can achieve it.</li>
<li>Go to Payplans Configuration>> Customization and set "Select
subscription status" to "Subscription-active".</li>
<li>Similarly you can choose the combos.</li>
<li>It even happens that the customer has not paid the invoice
and left it in checkout state. If you dont want to display such
invoices and keep the dashboard clean, then you can control it by
discarding the "no-status' option in the above mentioned setting.</li>
</ul><h3>4 . Search Module:</h3>
<ul><li>Searching is always an important aspect of any system. As an
admin, we often spend time searching data like subscriptions, users,
plans etc.</li>
<li>With the search module, Admin can search the plans, groups,
subscriptions transactions, invoices & users.</li>
<li>Thus, the search module can quickly search required data and
save lots of your time.
