Costumers and buyers have thereby the advantage of being able to trigger recurring orders automatically.

- Each subscription product can be given its own discount value to convince the buyer to order a subscription.
- Subscriptions can be managed by the buyer in the B2B platform
- View all subscriptions
- Change delivery intervals
- Delete subscription
- Subscribed products can only be paid with the payment methods "invoice" and "prepayment" (third-party providers such as PayPal are not supported).
- Subscriptions cannot later be changed by customers/purchasers, but must be terminated. Considering the termination period, etc.
