Restricted access to tariff plans

With BILLmanager, you can create tariff plans and restrict access to them. Such tariff plans will be available only to the clients who already have specific services associated with other tariff plans or product types. Per default, tariff plans are available to all clients.

For example, a service provider offers dedicated servers and shared hosting. For dedicated servers, he creates three tariff plans — "Standard", "Advanced", and "For loyal customers". The provider wants to restrict access to the tariff "For loyal customers". It should be available only to the clients who purchased the tariff "Standard" or a virtual server associated with any other tariff plan. To so, do perform the steps below:

Go to Products → Tariff plans.
Select the tariff "For loyal customers".
Click on Access to view a list of order rules. For all product types, in the Status column, you will see . This means that dependencies are disabled for this tariff.
Specify that a client should order a shared hosting service:
1. Select "Shared hosting".
2. Click on On. In the Status column, you will see . This means that dependency from this product type is enabled.
  Enable dependency from the product type
