How To Create A Custom Subscription
1. Add The Email Address
You will need an email address of your existing subscriber in order to create a custom subscription for them. You have the option to confirm their email immediately or send a confirmation email with a verification link they need to click on to approve.
2. Create A Password
Create a password for the new custom subscriber. You have the option to either type a custom password or leave the field blank to generate a random password.
3. Define Start And End Dates
Determine which start and end date the custom subscription should cover. Typically the start date will be from the date your reader purchased a subscription. The end date can be left blank which will let the subscription run until cancelled by adding an end date.
Any paid, hidden, subscribe and unlock issue types will be made available for the reader in the defined date range.
4. Add Subscription
Click the add subscription button to create the reader and custom subscription. The reader will receive an email with their login details and can now access content in your apps.
