Book a Plan

You have several ways to book a plan for the SaaS instance.

Fundamentals

In order to book a plan, the following requirements must be met in advance.

Company data stored in the Accountarea 

Under Settings > Account > Company, enter your general contact information and the billing information.
Further information can be found here.

PayPal in the Administration
When the company information is stored, you can integrate your PayPal account. If you have not yet added a PayPal account, you can do so in the Settings > Account > Payment method section by clicking the connect new PayPal account button. After clicking the button you will be redirected to PayPal to log in with your account.


PayPal is used to invoice the fees for the SaaS instance. You can find out which fees can arise and how they are made up exactly in the article fees.

Admin area

Once you are logged into the administration of your SaaS instance, you can access the plan booking under Settings > Account > Booked edition.

There you will find information about the edition you booked (Rise, Evolve or Beyond). You will also find information about when the edition has been active, when the next invoice will be sent and to which email address it will be sent.

Billing information
If you have already connected your shop to your Shopware account (e.g. if you created the shop from your account), the company information will be retrieved directly from the Shopware account.
In this case, you can either check the data in the shop administration under Settings > Account > Company or in the Shopware account and if necessary change it.

PayPal
As mentioned at the beginning, you can connect your PayPal account via the menu item Settings > Account > Payment method. If you already have a PayPal account as default payment method, this step will be skipped and you will go directly to the summary page.

Please note that in order to verify a new PayPal account, a test charge is made which is credited to your account shortly afterwards. You can change your PayPal account under Settings > Account > Payment methods. There you can manage your PayPal accounts or add new ones. The default payment method is used for invoicing in the SaaS environment.
The billing information is maintained under Settings > Account > Company.
