Placing an order with subscription products
You can select products with subscriptions from the store and add them to the cart.
When you select one of the subscription options for which the merchant has defined a price, you will see the product price changing based on the price for the selected subscription.
The price change defined for one subscription option applies at product level. Therefore, if you buy more than one product, each product price will be modified with the amount defined for the subscription option.
After choosing a subscription option for the product, the details can be reviewed by opening the shopping cart.

Customers can view their subscriptions by navigating to the following screen: Magento Store -> My Account -> My Subscriptions.
After selecting a subscription, you can view the details about the product, billing and shipping addresses, the frequency, start and next payment date, last run and the history.
