General Settings
| Configuration Field | Description | Recommended Value |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | Master toggle to activate or deactivate the SaaS multi-tenant engine across the marketplace. When set to Yes, sellers can browse membership plans, retain 100% earnings (0% commission), and manage branded subdomains. | Set to Yes |
| Allowed payment methods for Membership | Multi-select drop-down specifying which recurring payment gateways are available at the dedicated SaaS subscription checkout. Non-recurring standard gateways (e.g., COD, Bank Transfer) are excluded to ensure recurring mandate integrity. | Select PayPal Recurring Express Checkout Payment and/or Stripe Recurring Payment Method |
| Hint for setup seller subdomain | Guidance text displayed to sellers on their frontend dashboard (Vendor Profile) instructing them on the required format when registering their custom subdomain slug. | Enter a helpful format hint, e.g.: please add subdomain in format https://demo.domain.com |
Payment Method Restriction
Only recurring payment methods configured to handle recurring authorization mandates (PayPal or Stripe) should be selected in Allowed payment methods for Membership. Standard offline payment methods (such as Bank Transfer or Cash on Delivery) do not support automatic recurring billing cycles.

The module automates customer communications during subscription lifecycle events:
| Email Template Field | Event Trigger | Description & Key Contents |

Contains core subscription details including plan tier title, subscription fee, plan lifespan (in days), start date, and next scheduled renewal date. |
| Membership Plan Notification About Plan Transaction | Recurring Cycle Renewal (Triggered on each successful recurring charge) | Payment receipt and cycle notice sent to the seller whenever an automated renewal payment executes via PayPal or Stripe. Includes the gateway transaction reference ID, billed amount, transaction timestamp, and updated next billing deadline. |
