Summary
Merchant Mel Brittner wanted to add four specific features (Smart payment retries, Smart tagging & integrations, Embedded customer portal, and Portal permissions) to her Growth plan at a lower cost. After the AI bot could not offer a bundle deal, human agent Pearl provided two discount options; Mel chose an indefinite 20% discount on the individual add-ons. A follow-up question about subscription reactivation notifications was also answered by Pearl.
"no i think thats great - is it all pretty straight forward to integrate it al;?"

> hi there, looking to add some bits to my plan but all the add ons I want will be quite pricey... is there any bundles you can offer?
> I just want: Smart payment retries Smart tagging & integrations Embedded customer portal (white-label) Portal permissions
**[2026-04-22 11:45:33] bot/Luna**
> Hi Mel - I’m Luna, an AI assistant. For the features you listed (Smart payment retries, Smart tagging & integrations, Embedded customer portal, Portal permissions), we don’t have a specific “bundle” option to combine those add-ons into one discounted package.
> What you can do is apply a discount code when upgrading, which reduces the total price before payment:
> 1. Go to the Pricing tab in your account.
> 2. Enter your code in Discount Code and tap Apply.
> 3. Pick your plan and complete the upgrade.
> If you tell me which plan you’re on (Free, Pro, or Enterprise), I can help you sanity check what you’ll be paying for.
> Source: Pricing
**[2026-04-22 11:45:33] bot/Luna**
> Is that what you were looking for?
**[2026-04-22 11:45:54] user/Mel Brittner**
> im on growth right now
**[2026-04-22 11:46:05] bot/Luna**
> On Growth, there isn’t a bundle that combines those add-ons into one discounted package, so you’d pay for them as separate upgrades.
> One important catch: Smart payment retries (Billing Management) isn’t available on Growth - it’s only on Subi and above.
> The other items you listed (Embedded customer portal and Portal permissions) are available on Growth, since the Embedded Portal uses the same permission settings as the Hosted Portal.
> If you want, tell me whether you’re okay moving to Subi for Billing Management, and I’ll help you map the cleanest upgrade path.
> Sources: Pricing What is the Customer Account Extension (Embedded Portal)?
**[2026-04-22 11:46:05] bot/Luna**
> Did that answer your question?
**[2026-04-22 11:46:45] user/Mel Brittner**

> I just want to see if there is any deals you can offer -otherwise i may have to look at another app to use for my subs - since this will make it all very expensive to do the few things I need to be able to do

> Thank you for contacting us.
**[2026-04-22 11:50:24] user/Mel Brittner**
> hi!
**[2026-04-22 11:51:24] admin/Pearl**
> Totally understand wanting to keep the cost reasonable.
>
> I have two options for you:
>
> 1. All four features (Smart payment retries, Smart tagging & integrations, Embedded customer portal with white-label, and Portal permissions) are included in our Subi plan, so the cheapest route is usually upgrading to Subi, and I can send over a discount code to make that easier.
>
> 2. If you'd rather stay on your current plan and just layer these on, I can arrange a discount on each add-on individually.
**[2026-04-22 11:51:54] admin/Pearl**
> Which option would you prefer?
**[2026-04-22 11:52:11] user/Mel Brittner**
> which makes for a better price?
**[2026-04-22 11:52:16] user/Mel Brittner**
> thanks so much for your help
**[2026-04-22 11:53:48] admin/Pearl**
> No problem :)
> Let me check the discounts available on the Subi plan and also the add-ons.
> Will get back to you shortly.
**[2026-04-22 11:53:58] user/Mel Brittner**
> thank you!
**[2026-04-22 12:03:16] admin/Pearl**
> Thanks for waiting!
>
> I checked the add-on prices for each of the four features you are interested in. They make a total of $52 on top of the subscription fee for the Growth plan ($19).
> I can offer 20% discount on the add-ons (5% each) which added to the monthly subscription fee on the Growth plan will make a total of $60.6 Or I can offer a 45% discount on the Subi plan for 6 months which has all of these features and more. The plan is $99 and with the discount, it will become $54.45 for 6 months plus less transaction fees per subscription placed.

> hiya! just a quick question - if someone cancels their subscription and then goes in to reactivate, it doen;t seem like any shopify order is created (just tested it myself), how would i know they have reinstated their subscription? or is that not possible from the customer side anyways?
**[2026-04-23 09:37:13] admin/Pearl**
> Hi Mel,
> Thanks for getting back to me!
>
> I guess that happens because if a customer cancels their subscription and then reactivates it, Shopify does not automatically create a new order at the moment of reactivation; orders are only created when a billing event occurs (such as a successful renewal payment).
**[2026-04-23 09:37:18] admin/Pearl**
> To know when a subscription has been reinstated, you can use Subi’s notification and webhook features.
