   The Add Rate Plan Service Plan Pricing page appears.
2. From the Rate Plan field, select the rate plan you need or click Add Rate Plan to create a new rate.

3. Enter the price for the service plan. 
   These fields contain a range of pricing options you can charge for the service upgrade. The rows represent selectable renewal periods and the columns are the service plan upgrade’s price and corresponding setup fee along with your cost and corresponding upgrade fee for the upgrade.
   For each price, use the following setting to refine your rate:
   = does not affect the existing default price.
   $ sets a specific price override (an example is always $10 instead of the existing default).
   +/- is a number of dollars more or less than the base default.
   % is a percentage higher or lower than the existing default. 

   Примечание
   Careful attention should be paid to configuring the pricing options. For a monthly fee with an associated one-time setup fee, the price for both should go in the monthly row, since the upgrade option is based on a monthly price. If there was a one-time fee along with a one-time setup fee, both prices should be set in the One-Time fee row.

Adding Usage Plans Adding Usage Plans

Usage plans calculate and bill for the volume of resources consumed through a configured plugin data source. Some examples include OnApp and CloudStack usage. See Plugins for more information. Usage plans rely on existing plugins to provide a data source. Once you have a plugin configured and active, you can configure a service plan to track usage information. The data source in the service plan is configured to provide the necessary resources to track, and the appropriate units for those resources.

1. From the Service Plan Details page, in the Usage Plan section, click add usage plan.

   The Add Usage Plan page appears.

Adding Service Modules

Service modules are custom php files that run specific code for particular service-related events. They carry out customized functions or integrate with third party systems. Ubersmith provides a number of service modules that only need to be enabled and properly configured. You can also create custom modules and uploaded them directly to your Ubersmith instance without any special code or intervention from the Ubersmith team.
