Design plans that sell

A plan is what customers buy: for example "1 hour · 1 GB" or "Weekly · 20 GB". Everything you set is enforced by your router, not left to trust.

#What you can set

• Price in your workspace's currency. Set 0 for a free plan: each person can claim it once.
• Duration in minutes, hours or days. The clock starts when payment is confirmed.
• Data allowance, or leave empty for unlimited. Upload and download both count.
• Devices: up to 20 devices can share one plan (and one data allowance).
• Speed limits for download and upload, so one customer can't slow everyone else down.
• Fair use: after a data threshold, slow the customer down instead of cutting them off. It makes unlimited plans safe to sell.
• Where it's sold: every location, or one.

#Tips from venues that sell well

• Offer a short plan and a day pass. Most people choose between "just now" and "the whole day".
• Show the value. "Day pass · 5 GB" beats "Plan B".
• Use a free 15-minute plan to let first-timers try you, then upsell.
• Weekly and monthly plans suit hotels, hostels, estates and co-working spaces.

#Changing and retiring plans

Changing a plan never affects people who already bought it. Each purchase keeps a copy of the plan as it was. A plan that has been sold can't be deleted; take it off sale instead.
