How to Upsell & Renew Subscriptions in Odoo 16

Functional Odoo 16

By producing recurring income through weekly, monthly, or yearly subscriptions, the subscription-based selling strategy promotes client success and client retention. Businesses can produce steady revenue flow and sustain client relations by using customer connections. Subscription-based revenue models are advantageous to both the company and the consumer since they don't require as much regular re-engagement because customers can easily renew contracts for future purchases. Business continuation is guaranteed even under adverse conditions via monthly recurring revenue (MRR). A full subscription management package is provided by the Odoo Subscription module, which also includes tools for managing subscriptions, enhancing customer interactions, doing business analyses, and managing subscribers.

In contrast to cross-selling, which encourages customers to purchase related or complementary goods, upselling recommends customers purchase a higher-end product. Both are advantageous in their own legitimate ways and work well together. Effective cross- and up-selling boost income without incurring ongoing expenses in the marketing channels while giving clients the most value possible.

The Odoo 16 Subscription Module is an ERP platform developed for handling subscription management systems. It streamlines the construction of subscription-based items, enables customers to create plans and products, and manages subscriptions. Users can develop numerous subscription items and link them to relevant plans. Odoo supports subscription plan implementation and management while taking into account subscriber expectations and billing cycles. Additionally, users may build sales orders incorporating subscription-based items, guaranteeing that subscriptions commence promptly for selected buyers. The module also allows customers to limit trial-based product subscription options and issue paid or unpaid bills for subscribers.

From the displayed window, you can see a dashboard view of previously established subscriptions that need to be renewed. You can easily understand the Number of subscriptions, Order Date, Website, Customer, Salesperson, Activities, Company, and Invoice Status from this dashboard session. We can change the dashboard view into other visualizations such as Kanban, Pivot, Graph, and Cohort using the respective icons provided on the top right side of the window. Using the "Filter," "Group By," and "Favourites" functions, it turns out simple to sort the necessary data.

You can renew our previously created subscriptions and keep track of such subscriptions and quotations easily by using this menu section as well as you can use the "New" button to generate new subscriptions to renew.

The renewal form can be reached by selecting the "New" button. Users can also renew their existing memberships using this form. The form requires “Customer” details, “Referrer” name, “float1 & float 2” values, “Invoice Address,” and “Delivery Address.” An "Quotation Template" can be chosen from the dropdown selection provided on the relevant field. By choosing a date from the calendar menu, we can modify the renewal "Expiry Date." The “Recurrence” date can also be given if required, and you can select a pricelist type from the variety of options available under the “Pricelist’ field. Additionally, configure your “Payment Terms” if necessary. This form includes four sections: Order Lines, Optional Products, Other Info, and Notes. Come, let’s check the functions available in each of these tabs.

Order Lines Tab

Products have been inserted in this area in accordance with the specifications through the "Add a product" line. The “Product” name, “Description,” “Quantity,” “Unit of Measurement,” “Packaging Price,” “|Unit Price,” “Taxes,” “Discount Percentage,” and “Subtotal” must all be included here.

To add promotion codes, click on the “PROMOTIONS” link.

Optional Products Tab

A cross-selling approach is employed in this field to allow customers to purchase additional supplementary goods or services in addition to the primary item. For instance, a consumer purchasing a mobile phone device could also opt to purchase other items like any device protection package, a year of insurance, related accessories, etc. A database administrator may add such things to this area.

Upselling Subscriptions

A successful marketing technique for increasing product sales is the upsell. By including more offers and subscription items, you may upsell existing subscriptions so that they become new subscribers. You might provide your customers with more valuable and practical deals if you do this. The module's Subscription menu is where you may access the Upsells option. This platform will display a list of the sales orders created for upselling goods.

The "Upsells" dashboard shows the serial numbers for the subscription, the order date, the website, the customer, the salesperson, the activities, the company, the total invoice, and the status. To add upsell items to an existing subscription, Click on the column to view the upsell configurations form.

The “Upsell” button is located in the form view, as seen in the above image. A quotation for the upsell goods will be generated when you click on this button. This quote can be updated with new goods in the “Order Lines” tab section. To the appropriate client for approval, the quote for the new items can be submitted.

The “CONFIRM” option can be used to turn the quotation into a sales order once you've received the client's approval. Following your order confirmation, the new upsell items will be added to your subscription. These are the functionalities available in the Renewing and Upselling procedures of a subscription quotation.
