Configuring the Try and Buy Mode for Potential Customers

 
advanced administration guide linuxtrial try and buy mode for presence builderbusinesshostingonline store

Acquire potential hosting customers with Presence Builder by giving them
a link to Presence Builder in the Try and Buy mode . After your
customers follow this link, create a site, and try to publish it, Plesk
forwards them to the default online store of Business Manager. In the
store, customers choose a plan with Presence Builder and subscribe to
it. The subscription automatically includes the newly created site. On
completing the billing and subscription setup routines, the customers
become owners of the site and can publish it. You are free to block
access to the trial mode URL and thereby make Presence Builder
unavailable.

To offer the Try and Buy mode to potential customers, do the
following:

  1. Prepare the default online store in Business Manager to display
    Presence Builder-compatible plans.

    This step requires a cosmetic update: Make sure that all plans
    available to potential customers include at least one Presence
    Builder site. By default, customers see the plans from the default
    online store. For each of these plans, go to plan properties and
    check that the value of item Sites published with Presence
    Builder
    is not 0. If a plan includes 0 sites, your customers will
    not be able to publish them after subscribing to such a plan.

  2. Enable the Try and Buy mode in the Server Administration Panel.

    This allows customers to launch Presence Builder by following the
    trial mode access URL. In the Server Administration Panel, go to
    Tools & Settings > Try and Buy Mode Settings, and ensure that
    the Enable public access to trial mode checkbox is selected.

  3. Obtain the trial mode access URL and put it on your website to
    advertise hosting with Presence Builder and attract customers.

    The trial mode access URL is also available on the Presence Builder
    settings page.

  4. (Optionally) Configure lifetime of trial sites.

    On the same page you can optionally specify how often to remove
    unclaimed sites.

  5. (Optionally) Forward customers to a separate online store. This is
    relevant when you want to display a separate list of plans to
    potential customers who want hosting with Presence Builder.

     If you wish to have a separate store for the trial offering, extend
    the trial mode access URL with a store ID to point to a particular
    store. The syntax of the new URL is: <existing
    URL>
    &storeId= <custom store ID>. To control the plans list
    view, independently add a widget ID to the URL. The syntax of the new
    URL is: <existing URL> &widgetId=<custom widget ID>.

    Note: The store and widget IDs must exist in Business Manager.

Once you complete these steps, your potential customers will be able to
create trial sites and acquire them. To block this feature, deselect
access to the Try and Buy mode on the mode settings page.
