    - Billing Plan Periods Pane
      In the Billing Periods pane you can define multiple Billing Periods. For each, set a cycle length, which defines the length of the billing period; and the number of times to repeat the cycle, which defines the length of the subscription. Cycle length can be days, weeks, months, or years. Customers are billed on the first day of the billing cycle. Billing Periods are active sequentially, according to their order in the Billing Plan. The first Billing Period in the list will be in effect when the subscription is first purchased, and it will remain in effect until it completes its defined number of cycles.

    - Billing Plan Entitlements Pane
      Entitlements are IDs identifying the purchased billing plan or product and providing access to it. Use IDs from your system that provide subscribers access to the relevant products or services.Entitlements for a Billing Plan are controlled by the Advanced behavior of the Billing Plan. Advanced behavior can allow entitlements to be granted outside of the payment schedule of the billing plan. Season sets also can control when Entitlements are granted, allowing for entitlements to be granted uncoupled from the payment schedule
    - Custom Data
      Custom data lets you store merchant-specific data to Products, Rate Plans, Billing Plans, Season Sets, Subscriptions, Accounts, and Payment Methods as a pair of matched text strings, called name-value pairs. These name-value pairs can help you categorize and sort aspects of your objects. Use Name to define a category, and Value to define a specific item in that category. For example, you could use name-value pairs to track your sales teams. Define a name-value pair with Office as the Name and the city in which the office is located as the Value.
