Subscription Packages is a software feature that bundles access tiers, pricing structures, and service configurations into recurring payment plans for platform users. In real estate software platforms, subscription packages determine which modules, tools, and capabilities agents and brokers can access based on their chosen plan level.
Core Features
Subscription packages in real estate platforms typically include:
- Tiered access levels — Basic, Professional, and Enterprise plans with different feature sets
- Recurring billing cycles — Monthly or annual payment options
- User seat management — Controls how many team members can access the platform
- Feature gating — Enables or restricts specific modules based on package selection
- VAT configuration — Different tax treatments based on agent registration status (VAT-registered vs. non-VAT)
- Upgrade/downgrade paths — Allows users to change packages as their business grows
Use Cases
Subscription packages serve multiple purposes in Philippine real estate operations:
- Realty hubs can choose packages matching their team size and transaction volume
- Independent agents can start with basic plans and upgrade as they close more sales
- Developer partners can access premium features for project marketing and inventory management
- Billing administrators can configure withholding tax and VAT settings per subscriber
You can configure subscription packages to handle different tax scenarios. For example, VAT-registered agents receive invoices with 12% VAT itemized separately, while non-VAT registered agents see VAT-inclusive pricing.
Integration
Subscription packages connect with several platform components:
- Invoice management — Generates recurring billing statements
- Role-based access control — Enforces feature permissions per package
- Billing configuration — Sets up payment terms and tax rules
- Package assignment — Links users to their subscribed tier
The subscription model provides predictable revenue for platform operators while giving real estate professionals flexibility in choosing tools that match their business needs.
