Purchase Subscription Screen Explained

The Purchase Subscription Screen is divided into the following sections – 

Choose Your Subscription
This tab lists the plugins that are available for you to activate and include in your subscription. The plugins that you select for activation are added to the Order Summary tab. If you are here from the Plugins page, your plugin will already be selected for activation. If you are here directly from the Manage Account section, you will have to manually select your plugin for activation. You also have the option to select additional plugins for activation. The effect on pricing due to the updated list of plugins can be seen under New Subscription in Cart Details.

Already Active
This tab lists all the plugins that are currently active in your subscription. You have the option to select these plugins for deactivation. 

Order Summary
This section lists all the plugins that have been selected for activation or deactivation. 
Number of stores considered for the New Subscription pricing is mentioned below every plugin that has been selected for activation

Cart Details
The selected plugin will get added to the New Subscription section of the cart details. 

Amount Payable
The amount payable NOW is calculated based on the number of days from the plugin activation date(today) to the next billing date of your Tagrain subscription. This means that if you activate a plugin somewhere in between your billing cycle, the application will prorate the “amount payable now” from today to the start of the next billing cycle. 

Please note that the number of stores in your setup affects the overall plugin pricing. 
This is explained with an example below. 
Let's say your setup has 2 stores and 2 POS
You are on an Annual Billing Cycle 1st Jan - 31st Dec
On 5th April You want to activate a plugin whose annual price per store is $5.99
The prorated amount for this plugin for two stores will be:
(Total plugin price / 365) X number of days left to you next billing date

The total plugin price will be 2 X 5.99 X 12 = 143.76 (because there are 2 stores)
Number of days left till the end of the billing cycle will be 31st Dec - 5th Apr = 271 (both days included)
The amount you need to Pay Now will be (143.76 / 365) X 271 = 106.74

Plugins in Tagrain are either Subscription Based or License Based. So the price that you pay for your plugins is based on the number of POS terminals that you have in your setup and the number of licences that you have acquired.
The subscription fee for Tagrain and its plugins is non-refundable. A plugin once purchased and activated, shall not be refunded. You may, however, choose to deactivate the plugin if you no longer want to use it. Upon deactivation, all the features and functionality added to the application upon plugin activation are removed. However, the application retains all the data pertaining to the plugin till the end of your current billing cycle. At the start of the next billing cycle, this data is purged from the application. However, in the case of payment processor plugins (Clover, Elavon, and Moneris) the data pertaining to these plugins is primarily associated with the reference numbers and auth numbers for the credit card transactions done, and so the data is retained and never purged from the application.
The plugin - Multiple Units of Measure, once activated, cannot be deactivated.
The plugin - Hospitality for Quick Serve and Fine Dining is included in both the editions - Community and Enterprise
You can always reactivate the plugin without incurring additional charges during its subscription cycle. There will be no change in your subscription amount in the current billing cycle if you are only deactivating the plugin AND not updating your Store / POS count.
