Hello everybody,

my office needs to sell a new product through the platform: it is basically a subscription costing (let's say) 100$ per month, the customer also pays a starting fee ONLY for the first month (200$).


The whole process goes like this: Customer purchases our product > pays 300$ on the first month (200$ starting price + 100$ monthly fee > pays monthly 100$ (recurring price) from the second month onwards.


How do i set up such a thing in Odoo 16?

To create two separate products in Odoo 16 — one for the Starting Fee (Sales) and one for the Subscription (Monthly), and define separate pricing for both, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create the Starting Fee Product

  1. Go to Sales > Products > Products.
  2. Click on Create to add a new product.
  3. Product Name: Enter something like "Starting Fee".
  4. Product Type: Set to Service (since it's a service-related fee).
  5. Sales Price: Enter the price for the starting fee, e.g., 200 (this is a one-time fee for the first month).
  6. Invoicing Policy: Set to On Order. This ensures the fee is invoiced once the order is confirmed.
  7. Tax: Choose the appropriate tax (if applicable).
  8. Click Save.

Step 2: Create the Subscription (Monthly) Product

  1. Go to Sales > Products > Products.
  2. Click on Create to add a new product.
  3. Product Name: Enter something like "Monthly Subscription".
  4. Product Type: Set to Service (since this is a subscription service).
  5. Sales Price: Enter the price for the monthly subscription, e.g., 100 (this will be the recurring monthly price).
  6. Invoicing Policy: Set to On Subscription. This allows Odoo to manage recurring invoicing for the subscription.
  7. Tax: Choose the appropriate tax (if applicable).
  8. Click Save.

Step 3: Create a Subscription Template (Including Both Fees)

  1. Go to Subscriptions > Configuration > Subscription Templates.
  2. Click Create to create a new template for your subscription.
  3. Name: Enter a name for the template, such as "Standard Monthly Subscription".
  4. Product: Select the "Monthly Subscription" product you created earlier.
  5. Recurring Interval: Set this to 1 and choose Month (or whatever frequency you want for recurring charges).
  6. Initial Fee: Under the Initial Fee section, select the "Starting Fee" product you created and enter 200 as the initial amount to be charged during the first month.
  7. Invoicing Frequency: Set this to Monthly, which will ensure recurring billing every month.
  8. Click Save.

Step 4: Create a Sales Order for the Customer

  1. Go to Sales > Orders > Create.
  2. Select the customer.
  3. Add the "Starting Fee" product to the sales order (this will be charged during the first month).
  4. Add the "Monthly Subscription" product to the sales order (this will be the recurring charge starting from the second month).
  5. Confirm the order.

Step 5: Managing Invoices

  • The Starting Fee of 200 will be invoiced immediately upon order confirmation.
  • The Monthly Subscription of 100 will be invoiced as a recurring charge starting from the second month.

This setup in Odoo 16 will allow you to sell two separate products — one for a Starting Fee (Sales) and another for a Monthly Subscription, with appropriate pricing for both.

Hi everyone!

I’m setting up a monthly subscription model where customers are charged for two services: software usage and SLA. However, I want the first month of the SLA to be free, meaning that in the first month, the customer should only be charged for software usage. Starting from the second month, they should be billed for both.

What would be the best approach to configure this in Odoo subscriptions? Is there a way to automate this logic without manual adjustments?

hi daniele, 

did you find the solution? mind sharing?

I am still looking for the answer. But I think if you upsell it for the first month with a non recurring product (say "Fixed Fee payment" and set price to "USD200") wouldn't that work as well?
