This page covers how to manage add-ons in the app. For a conceptual explanation of how add-ons relate to subscriptions and billing, see How Saasybill works.
Add-ons live in the Product Catalogue section of the sidebar alongside plans and charges. They are optional, separately priced items that can be attached to subscriptions to bill for supplementary products or services on top of a base plan.
Add-ons are recurring and billed at every renewal. For one-time fees such as setup or onboarding costs, use Charges instead.

Billing

Add-on pricing is always a fixed amount per billing cycle. Unlike plans, add-ons do not support tiered, volume, or per-unit pricing models.
Click Save to create the add-on.

​
Add-on details

​
Add-on statuses

Set an add-on to Legacy when you want to keep existing subscriptions running on it but stop new ones being created. Set it to Inactive to retire it without deleting it. Add-ons already attached to active subscriptions can only be set to Active or Legacy.

​
Editing an add-on

Like plans, add-ons have two separate edit forms depending on what you need to change.

​
Editing add-on details

Click Edit details on the add-on details page to update:
  • Name
  • Add-on ID
  • Add-on Category
  • Add-on Description
  • Status
Click View Advanced Settings to update:
  • Currency

​
Editing fee details

Click Edit fees to update the pricing configuration:
  • Price
  • Billing Frequency
If an add-on has ever been used in a subscription, even a deleted one, its fee details cannot be edited. If you need different pricing, create a new add-on.

​
Attaching add-ons to subscriptions

Add-ons are attached when creating a subscription. Open Advanced Settings on the subscription form and select charges from the Add-ons section.
By default, any subscription discount does not apply to add-ons. When adding an add-on, click to apply the subscription discount percentage to it. The default selected means no discount is applied.
See Subscriptions for full details on attaching add-ons to a subscription.

​
Bulk actions

Select multiple add-ons in the list by clicking the of each add-on to:
  • Bulk Edit: update the name, category, description, or status across multiple add-ons at once
  • Bulk Delete: permanently remove multiple add-ons (requires confirmation)
When bulk editing, leave a field blank to leave that value unchanged for the selected add-ons.
Add-ons with active subscrtiptions cannot be deleted. Set them to Legacy or Inactive instead.

​
Deleting an add-on

From the add-on’s details page, click Delete add-on to remove it. A confirmation dialog appears before the action completes.
