Points to Note<\/h2>\n
\n\tIf a package has upgrades, and there are packages that cost more, then, when your users visits the listing page, they will see gd_author_actions<\/strong> displaying an upgrade link. <\/p>\n
Upon clicking that link, users will be taken to a list of packages that are more expensive than their current package. If they choose a higher-end package, they will be required to pay the pro-rated price of the package. After successful payment, their listing will be upgraded to the new package. <\/p>\n
Bear in mind that upgrading<\/strong> a package is not the same as renewing<\/strong> it. When users upgrade their existing package, new expiry date will be calculated from the date of upgrade — regardless of how many days are left for the previous package. <\/p>\n
\n\tIt is worth noting that if the current package is a Recurring Package<\/a>, active subscription needs to be cancelled prior to upgrade. This is primarily because recurring packages are handled via external gateways such as PayPal, and users might be billed twice — once each for the older package and the new one — if active subscription is not cancelled before upgrading. <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pricing Manager lets you create packages that can be upgraded to another package.
