[Write-up] Handling Incorrect plan purchases by the Student
Overview
If a student purchases the wrong plan, the resolution depends on whether the correct plan has the same amount or a different amount from the purchased plan.
Scenario 1: Correct Plan Has the Same Amount
When the purchased plan and the intended plan have the same price:
- Open the student's current subscription.
- Edit the subscription.
- Change the Plan Name to the correct plan.
- Update any other details if required:
- Number of classes
- Validity period
- Save the changes.
No additional payment or subscription creation is required.
Scenario 2: Correct Plan Has a Different Amount
When the intended plan has a different price, the subscription must first be updated to provide the correct plan access.
Mandatory First Step
Before proceeding with either option below:
- Open the student's current subscription.
- Edit the subscription.
- Change the Plan Name to the correct plan.
- Save the changes.
This ensures the student immediately receives access to the correct plan.
Option 1: Collect the Difference Offline
If the pricing difference is collected outside the platform:
Step 1: Collect the Difference Amount Offline
Collect the amount difference directly from the student.
Step 2: Create a Manual Subscription
Create a manual subscription with the following details:
- Start Date: Automatically shows up
- End Date: Automatically shows up
- Billing Amount: Difference in plan amount
- Number of Classes: 0
- Payment Mode: Offline
Step 3: Add a Note
In the subscription notes, clearly mention that:
This manual subscription was created to account for the pricing difference resulting from a plan correction.
This note will be useful for future reference and audits.
Option 2: Collect the Difference Online via Razorpay
If the pricing difference should be collected online:
Step 1: Create a Manual Subscription
Create a manual subscription with the following details:
- Start Date: Automatically shows up
- End Date: Automatically shows up
- Billing Amount: Difference in plan amount
- Number of Classes: 0
- Payment Mode: Payment Gateway
Step 2: Select Payment Gateway
During subscription creation, select:
Payment Method → Payment Gateway (Razorpay)
Step 3: Payment Link Sent Automatically
Once the manual subscription is created:
- A Razorpay payment link is automatically sent to the student.
- The student can complete the payment online.
Step 4: Add a Note
In the subscription notes, clearly mention that:
This manual subscription was created to account for the pricing difference resulting from a plan correction.
This note will be useful for future reference and audits.
What Happens After Creating the Manual Subscription?
- The student's current subscription continues normally until it expires.
- Once the current subscription expires, the manual subscription starts automatically.
- Since the manual subscription contains 0 classes, it expires immediately after activation.
This allows the pricing adjustment to be recorded without affecting the student's actual subscription benefits or class entitlement.
