Product Information contained within this document, including technical information and functional specifications, is subject to change without notice. Naviga reserves the right to make any changes to the information in this document at any time without notice. Naviga makes no warranty, representation, or guarantee regarding the suitability of its products and services for any particular purpose.
Please note that this information has been moved from the New Starts page.
Please note that this document is currently under revision. Last changes were made on Oct 10th, 2023.
A Complimentary Subscription Purchase does not require the subscriber to provide payment information or payment. Subscribe clients may offer Complimentary (free) Subscriptions to their employees, partners, advertisers, etc.
The goal of this section is to explain how to configure a Complimentary Subscription Purchase in Naviga's Solicitor Concierge and CMS dashboard.
Starting from Release 3.15, the ‘Comp Subscription’ payment method is hidden from the available Payment methods section. If the ‘Complimentary’ checkbox is enabled, all the other payment method options will be disabled.
This feature allows users to create a fixed term (with an end date) or unlimited (no end date) free subscription.
Unlimited Complimentary subscriptions (Subscription Kind = Comp with the option 'No end date' selected) are supported from Subscribe 3.16.2 onwards.
If the subscription is set up as unlimited, the subscription can be stopped at any time via Account Management or by calling a CSR rep.
Complimentary Subscriptions cannot be turned into paid subscriptions. If you are interested in this functionality, please check Trial-with-Payment Subscriptions.
Complimentary subscriptions do not have access to payments, including EZPay, payment method updates, complaints, or vacations.
Please note that in the 3.16.2 Release, the flow was reworked with the following changes:
A new 'Complimentary' option is available under Offer Groups → Additional Options → Subscription Kind, replacing the earlier 'Comp' option. The Complimentary subscription can be either with 'No end date' or 'With end date'.
The complimentary subscription with no end date will be available for an unlimited period of time. If the user selects the option With end date, two additional fields are displayed under Complimentary Unit: a dropdown with values Day(s), Week(s), Month(s) and a text field that accepts Integer values greater than 0.
The options available under Subscription Kind are Complimentary, Lite, and Trial Subscriptions. Only one option from Subscription Kind can be selected for an offer.
The other validations added to Solicitor Concierge for Complimentary Offer Groups (Offer Groups → Coding → Billing system codes) are:
These validations will be applicable to existing Comp offers when a user tries to modify them.
The Purchase flow corresponds to various Start Types from the Offer API. Within the SP logic, the Complimentary flow has been mapped to the 'isComp' flag from the Offer API.
Complimentary subscriptions do not involve any payment from the subscriber. From an application perspective, a default PaymentTypeID value of '13' has been set for Complimentary subscriptions within the Subscription Panel.
The Purchase API for Complimentary flows has been revised as part of code clean-up and to distinguish between Complimentary and Trial Subscriptions.
The Purchase API has also been updated to accommodate Payment Method ID 5, which is 'Billed,' to support the Matrix client.
The 'Comp' option is configurable from MG2control or Support Viewer, with a new property added to App settings ('OfferGroupAdditionalOptionIsCompFlag').
To configure the 'Comp' option, you need to follow these steps:
Navigate to Support Viewer → Management → App settings.
In the Filters section, set the following parameters:
Setting type: Client Component Permission
Key: OfferGroupAdditionalOptionCompFlag
App type: SolCon Admin
Click 'Search' and select a value from the 'Setting keys' grid.
Choose a value from the 'Clients group' dropdown (e.g., Mg2 Groupstripe) and 'Environment' drop-downs. Note: Set the value as either 0 or 1 for any selected client.
After making the change, click 'Update.' A popup will appear, click 'Execute.'
Due to changes in the 3.16.2 release, the setup for Complimentary subscription differs between previous releases and versions 3.16.2 and above. Please refer to the relevant section below.
For this feature to be implemented the following prerequisites must be met:
The minimum Subscribe version is 3.13 and the minimum NCS circ version is 2020.2.0. The client must be on the latest subscribe extracts that include demographics data
To set up a Complimentary offer with an end date in Solicitor Concierge please perform the following steps:
Select offer groups from the left sidebar.
Select an offer group from the list, or create a new offer group.
Set the price as $0. Please note that even if you set the price >0 then it will not be charged but can be displayed on UI during checkout.
Select the additional options category, then select the Subscription Kind section, select 'Complimentary' and enter the number of trial days that are offered (please note that you can enter up to 10 digits). Once the offer group the number of comp days cannot be edited and the 'Complimentary' checkbox cannot be unchecked
In the additional options category go to EZPay section and select the No EZPay option.
Select the coding category, then select the billing systems code drop-down menu.
Designate the billing method as UnPaid Comp.
Select update or save as new.
The steps described above are mandatory. As the majority of complimentary subscriptions don't have print products, we recommend using ZIP-only checkout for them.
To configure an offer for ZIP-only checkout please go to the additional options category, then select address requirements section and uncheck the billing address, delivery address and run product delivery check checkboxes.
No additional CMS setup is required.
Even if the presentation has one or more payment methods added as children of Payment Method V3 component they will not be displayed if they are not checked in Solicitor Concierge.
As the majority of complimentary subscriptions don't have print products, we recommend using ZIP-only start. Please see the guide for more details
As the proper Complimentary Subscriptions (SubscriptionKind = Comp) without an end date were not supported in NCS prior to 3.16.2, this guide is merely a roundabout, describing how to set up a free-of-charge subscription valid for an unlimited period of time. SubscriptionKind will be Standard.
To set up a Free-of-charge offer with an end date in Solicitor Concierge please perform the following steps:
Select offer groups from the left sidebar.
Select an offer group from the list, or create a new offer group.
Set the price as $0.Please note that even if you set the price >0 then it will not be charged but can be displayed on UI during checkout.
Select the additional options category, then select the Payment Method section and select the Billed checkbox.
In the additional options category go to EZPay section and select No EZPay option.
Select the coding category, then select the billing systems code drop-down menu.
Designate the billing method as Unpaid Comp.
Select update or save as new
Some additional CMS setup is required for this method to work as expected: under the Payment Methods V3 component, please add Bill Me V3 as a child component.
Prerequisites for the implementation of Complimentary Subscription:
The minimum Subscribe version: 3.16.2
The minimum NCS Circ version: Rapid Release 2020.4.1
If you were previously using Comp subscriptions, please ensure that your existing Comp offers include a Reason code and Delivery method for correct functionality.

If you want to collect the user's address during check-out, click open the Address requirements section. Check the option Billing Address.
Check the option Active (if it is not checked) to make the offer group active.
Note:
In Additional options > Payment Method, the "Comp Subscription" checkbox, which was present in previous versions, has been disabled and hidden via configurations since it is not relevant for Comp Subscriptions. Even if it is enabled on the UI, it will remain unchecked. Added on 10-Oct-2023.
Click Publish if you are creating a new offer group. Click Save as new or Update if you are editing an existing offer group. The option 'Save as new' will create a new offer group from the current offer group whereas the option 'Update' will save the changes to the current offer group.

Added on 10-Oct-2023
Previously, the Comp presentation for Digital Zip-Only subscriptions required both a Payment Method and a Bill Me component. Payment Method and Bill Me components are no longer valid for Comp presentation, and Independent Address Component should be used instead.
For Print Comp Subscriptions, the Billing Address and Delivery Address Components should be added with the Address fields enabled. The Address Requirements: Billing Address and Delivery Address checkboxes must be selected at the Offer level in SolCon.
As the majority of complimentary subscriptions don't have print products, we recommend using ZIP-only start.
The Comp option is Configurable from MG2control or Support Viewer. A new property ('OfferGroupAdditionalOptionIsCompFlag') is introduced in the App setting. Follow the steps explained at the top of this page to configure the Comp option.
For Matrix we are calculating the expected end date based on the complimentary days set up in Solicitor Concierge.

Following is the Beta version of the Gift Subscription workflow.
Gift Subscription is a unique Subscribe feature that is currently available exclusively to NCS clients. As the name implies, this feature allows an end user to buy a subscription and gift it to a dear one.
The end user who purchases the subscription will be referred to as the Purchaser in the Gift workflow. The one who receives the gift will be referred to as the Recipient in the flow.
The Gift subscription workflow can be divided into two: Purchase flow and Redeeming flow.
Purchase flow - the purchaser purchasing a gift offer from the Subscription Panel and its associated events.
Redeeming flow - the recipient redeeming the gift subscription and its associated events.
The purchaser navigates to the Subscription Panel. Selects a Gift offer.
Enter the details of the purchaser, and recipient in the CUSTOMER INFORMATION tab. Click Continue. Note: If the purchaser is a known user (Email ID already available in the Subscribe database), after entering the purchaser Email ID, a configurable info message will be displayed, ‘This email is already in use’. If the user is a new user (user details not available with Subscribe yet), after entering the Email ID, the user will be prompted to enter a password and then to confirm the password. Refer to the image below.
Select the Payment method (Credit card or Bank Account) in the PAYMENT INFORMATION tab. Enter the payment details accordingly. Click Submit.
4. The entered payment details will be displayed once more for confirmation. If everything is fine, click Continue. If any of the payment details to be edited, click the pen icon to edit the details before continuing with the payment.
Note: It is also possible to edit the already entered Customer Information details by selecting the ‘CUSTOMER INFORMATION’ tab.
5. The ORDER SUMMARY tab gives a summary of the current order. In this tab:
Any information (customer or payment) entered so far can be edited, if required.
If the gift subscription has to be started on a specific date in future, uncheck the box ‘Start the Gift Subscription Immediately’. Click on the Date field and select an available date from the date picker.
Accepting Terms and Conditions checkbox is selected by default. Do not uncheck this option. Unchecking will restrict the user from placing the order.
Click Place your order.
Once the order is placed successfully, the purchaser will be navigated to the Congratulatory page where all the details of the gift order is displayed.
The Purchase flow is complete now.
Note: Although the purchase flow concludes here, Subscribe offers the purchaser an option to manage this subscription. To do so, the purchaser must log in to the Self-Service portal by clicking the final button displayed on the congratulatory page. This button may appear as either 'Log In' or 'Continue' depending on the purchaser's status. If the purchaser is a known user to Subscribe, they will see a 'Log In' button on the congratulatory page. If the purchaser is a first-time user, they will see a 'Continue' button instead.
7. Once the purchase is complete (upon displaying the congratulatory page), an info mail will be triggered to the Purchaser.
8. An additional email will be sent to the recipient, notifying them about the gift subscription they have received. This recipient email will contain a unique link and a gift code to redeem the gift subscription. Note: Regardless of the selected start date for the subscription, both the purchaser and recipient emails will be triggered in real-time upon successful completion of the payment.
The Redeeming flow begins when the recipient clicks the hyperlink in the gift subscription redemption email. This link will direct the user to the Redemption Presentation. The email also includes a Gift code.
The recipient clicks the hyperlink in the email.
The recipient is directed to the Redeeming presentation, where the GIFT CODE tab is automatically opened and displayed. The unique hyperlink automatically populates the gift code. Click on Continue.
The USER INFORMATION tab is displayed. Enter the recipient details. Click Continue. Note: If the recipient is a known user (Email ID already available in the Subscribe database), after entering the Email ID, a configurable info message will be displayed, ‘This email is already in use’. Refer to the image below. If the user is a new user (user details not available with Subscribe yet), after entering the Email ID, the user will be prompted to enter a password and then to confirm the password.
The ORDER SUMMARY tab is displayed. Click Place your order.
The final Congratulatory page is displayed.
Note: Although the redeeming flow concludes here, Subscribe offers an additional feature for the recipient to manage the gifted subscription. To do so, the recipient needs to link the gifted subscription with their Account number and continue the flow by clicking the final button on the page. This button may appear as either 'Log In' or 'Continue' depending on the user's status. If the recipient is a known user to the client publication, they will see a 'Log In' button on the Congratulatory page. If the recipient is a first-time user, they will see a 'Continue' button instead.
Recipient (known user) clicking on Log In button:
Recipient (first-time user) clicking on Continue button:
For the first-time user, the account linking is not required. Upon clicking the Continue button, the recipient will be directly navigated to the Dashboard page of the Self-Service portal.
Upon reaching the congratulatory page, a congratulatory email will be sent to the recipient on redeeming the gift subscription. From V3.17.0, a notification email will also be sent to the Purchaser.
Subscribe supports Digital-only gifts. This avoids potential issues with purchasing a print gift subscription that could not be delivered to the giftee's actual address.
Subscribe transactional mails (the info mail sent to the purchaser, the notification to the recipient, etc.) will be sent to purchaser and/or recipient in real time after the successful completion of payment. However, if you want to notify the recipient on a specific date, then it is recommended to use Discover OR client-preferred EMS to schedule the recipient email.
The hyperlink that navigates the user to the Redeem presentation and the coupon code with which gift subscription can be redeemed will be incorporated in the transactional emails sent both to the purchaser and the recipient.
The validity period for redeeming a gift subscription can be defined by the MG2Control App setting CountOfDaysBeforeCouponSubscriptionStartDate. If required, this value can be overridden by the date entered in the Scheduled Start V3 component in the gift offer purchase presentation.
If the gift is not redeemed by the recipient during the predefined period, then it will start automatically and will be assigned to the purchaser. This allows for handling timely revenue recognition. If the recipient redeems the gift after the start of the subscription for the purchaser, then the ownership of the subscription will change from the Purchaser to the Recipient.
To achieve a successful Gift flow as depicted above, certain settings need to be configured in:
SolCon
CMS
SubCon Admin (transactional emails)
NCS Circ
Implementation Settings
Minimum Subscribe Version: 3.16.3
Minimum NCS Circ Version: 2020.2 plus SP1
In Solcon, a Gift offer must be created.
Open SolCon. Navigate to Offer Groups. Click the '+' button to create a new Offer Group.
Add Publications, and Product. The Product should be ‘digital only’. Set the desired price.
Make sure that the product selected in the offer is ‘digital only’.
In the Marketplaces section, select ‘Subscription Panel’ as the Sales Platform. Configure the SP url without fail.
Configure Terms & Conditions only if you want Terms & Conditions to be displayed on the offer. Hence it is optional.
Configure the Marketing Text if you want to appear it on the offer. It is optional.
In the Coding section, do the following setups: 1. Under Household levels, select the Publication and the Household level from the corresponding drop-downs. 2. Under Custom Codes, select value for the Source field. The Campaign code must not be set up for Gift offer. 3. Under Billing System Codes, select the Rate Code. Depending on the value of the Rate code, Term and Term Length fields will be auto-populated from the Circ system. Select Reason Code, Billing Method fields. Keep Delivery Method as ‘Online’.
In the Additional Options section, do the following setups: 1. Check and select the Sales Platforms options, as applicable. 2.Check and select the Payment method options, as applicable. Please note that the options that are selected here can only be displayed on the Purchase presentation. 3.Make sure that the Address Requirements options are unchecked and not selected. This enables users to purchase subscriptions without entering any address since they are intended to be gifted to other people.
Click Publish to save the new offer group that is created.
In CMS application, two Presentations must be configured.
Purchase presentation which will be displayed to the Purchaser in the Subscription Panel during Purchase Flow
Redeeming presentation which will be presented to the Recipient while claiming the gift subscription during Redeeming Flow
You may configure Presentations from scratch in the CMS. However, it is highly recommended to reuse any existing Presentation by exporting and importing them. This approach ensures ease of use and convenience. Reusing an existing Presentation eliminates the risk of errors and proves to be a significant time-saver, sparing you from the need to identify and resolve issues.
It's crucial to note that the appearance and functionality of the Purchase and Redeeming presentations on the Subscription Panel depend entirely on the way you customize and configure them in the CMS.
Be it Purchase Presentation or Redeeming Presentation, the initial steps of configuring them are pretty the same.
Step 1: Navigate to CMS > Subscription Panel > Presentations.
Step 2: You may create a new Presentation, Export and import an existing Presentation, or Copy an existing Presentation and create a new one.
To Create a new Presentation: Click +Add New Presentation > Blank Presentation
To Copy an existing Presentation and then create a new one: Select a Presentation from the drop-down. Click +Add New Presentation > Duplicate Selection > Give a name and unique URL for the selected Presentation > OK
To Export an existing Presentation: Click Options > Export > Check the box to select a Presentation from the list > Export Content. To Import an exported Presentation: Click Options >Import > Select file > Import.
Step 3: Make sure that the Presentation has the main parent component Presentation P followed by a Header V3 component.
In the parent Presentation P, the property ‘isGiftSale’ should be set to ‘ON’.
The rest of the configuration varies between Purchase and Redeeming Presentations.
Followed by the Presentation P and the Header V3 components, configure a Page V3 component (Landing page)
Configure a child component Landing - Tiles. Under this component configure the next level child component Promotion Digital V3.
Configure the next Page V3 component with the following child components one after the other in the order mentioned in the following table.
Configure the next Page V3 component.
a. Configure a Confirmation child component. Configure as many Social Media V3 child components one after the other for each social media handles such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (now 'X'), Google PlayStore, LinkedIn, etc. you require.
Configure finally a Footer V3 component.
Click Save to save the Presentation.
Clear app’s cache by clicking the Manage Cache button, then click Refresh CMS+Panel.
Followed by the Presentation P and the Header V3 components, configure a Page V3 component. a. Configure a child Step V3 component. Under this component configure a Input Gift Code V3 child component.
Configure the next Page V3 component with the following child components one after the other. a. Configure the Step Indicator component. b.Configure the Offer Selector component. c. Configure the Gift Details V3 component. d. Configure a Step V3 component. i. Configure the User Information V3 child component. ii. Configure the Independent Address V3 child component.
e. Configure the next Step V3 component. i. Configure the Order Summary V3 child component.
Note: If you wish to display the Terms & Conditions (set up in the SolCon gift offer) to the recipient, you can add the Terms and Conditions V3 child component either under this Step V3 component or the one above.
Currently, it's not feasible to present distinct Terms & Conditions for the purchaser and the recipient within the gift subscription flow. While it's possible to display Terms & Conditions in both the purchase and recipient flows by configuring Terms and Conditions V3 component, in both scenarios, the Terms & Conditions are sourced from the same T&C configured in the SolCon gift offer. Consequently, displaying separate Terms & Conditions to the purchaser and recipient within the gift subscription flow is not supported.
3. Configure the next Page V3 component.
a. Configure the Confirmation child component.
Under the Confirmation child comp, configure as many Social Media V3 child components one after the other for each social media handles such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (now 'X'), Google PlayStore, LinkedIn, etc.
Configure the final Footer V3 component.
Click Save to save the Presentation.
Clear app’s cache by clicking the Manage Cache button, then click Refresh CMS+Panel.
The transactional emails sent to purchaser and recipient during the Gift flow must be configured in the SubCon Admin. These transactional mails can be called as Event Type Emails because they get triggered and are sent to addressees at the completion of Purchase event and Redeeming event.
The emails configured in SA will be sent to the addressees in real-time. If you need to trigger the email to a recipient on a future date, then it is recommended to use Discover OR client-preferred EMS to schedule the recipient email.
In the Gift flow, the following transactional emails are typically involved:
Mails sent after Purchasing the gift subscription:
Purchaser mail: Contains recipient details, gift code, gift message, order details, etc.
Recipient mail: Notifies the recipient about the gift, provides purchaser details, includes a hyperlink to the Redeeming presentation, gift code, etc. Note: These emails should be configured to be triggered after a successful PURCHASE event (Event type 1100).
Mails sent after Redeeming the gift subscription:
Congratulatory mail: Sent to the recipient for redeeming the gift subscription.
Notification mail: Sent to the Purchaser after the recipient redeems the subscription. (This mail is available only from Subscribe V 3.17.0). Note: These emails should be configured to be triggered after a successful REDEEMING event (Event type 1101).
In both events (Purchase & Redeeming) two emails are to be triggered - one to the Purchaser and the other to the Recipient.
In SA, you can configure two categories of Event type emails: Internal and Customer. The only restriction is that, at a time, only one email can be triggered from one category for a particular event. Since Purchase event requires two emails to be triggered, for ease and convenience, it is recommended to configure recipient email in Internal category and purchaser email in customer category.
Navigate to SubCon Admin > Event Management > Event Types Emails > Add New.
The Add New Transaction Mail tabs will open. Please refer to the image below. Note: For first-time users, the ‘Internal Emails’ tab is auto-selected and without saving this tab, the other tabs will not be accessible.
Select the Publication Group. Choose the Event Type as ‘(1100) PURCHASEGIFT’. Complete the mandatory fields. You can draft the recipient mail using the Template Mail Editor. Click the Edit button to enter the mail content in the Editor. Click the Save button to save the recipient notification email template.
Ensure that the redeem flow link is included in the Recipient email template. You can incorporate the Redeem presentation URL as a hyperlink by copying and pasting it into the email message wherever its needed.
In the provided sample email template above, the link has been added to the "this link to redeem your gift" text in the email body.
Click Save Transaction to save the transaction and unlock the other tabs.
Once any email template is successfully saved, it will be listed in the Search result grid. For example, the recipient mail created above will be listed as shown below. To edit an already saved email template, click the Edit button displayed with the listed email template in the search result grid.
The Purchaser email has to be configured under Customer Emails section.
Navigate to Customer Emails Tab. Click +Add New Template.
You can either create an email template from the scratch or copy from an existing template in the Customer Emails tab.
3. After creating the Acknowledgment Email template, click Save Transaction to save the Email configurations.
After setting up purchaser and recipient emails to be triggered on the PURCHASEGIFT event, you should also configure separate purchaser and recipient emails to be triggered on the REDEEMGIFT event.
Navigate to Event Management > Event Type Emails.
Select Event ID in the Filter By drop-down. Enter 1101 in the Contains field. Choose the Publication Group from the corresponding drop-down. Click +Add New.
Set up the Congratulatory Recipient Email in the Internal Emails tab on redeeming the gift subscription.
Set up the Purchaser notification mail that should be triggered when the recipient redeems the gift subscription.
The Purchaser notification mail on redeeming gift is available only from V3.17.0.
Note: While setting up the emails, make sure to select the Event Type as (1101) REDEEMGIFT. This will link the emails with the REDEEMGIFT event.
This feature is highly beneficial for SubCon Admins/CSRs as it allows them to verify the reception of configured emails. How to verify the emails sent and received? You can verify the emails sent and received after configuring internal and/or customer emails for a specific event.
All emails (internal and customer) configured for a specific event will be listed under the View All Emails tab. You can navigate to the View All Emails tab in two ways:
From the homepage: a. Navigate to Event Management > Event Types Emails. b. Filter By > Event Type ID, Contains > Enter event ID, Choose Publication Group > Search. c. Select the email from the search result grid. Navigate to the View All Emails tab. OR
View All Emails tab
All emails configured for the selected event type will be listed here. Click Send Sample button along any mail.
This process ensures the sending and reception of the configured emails.
The Send Sample feature is currently unavailable for emails configured for the Redeeming event (1101). This will be accessible from V3.17.2.
Email attributes in Subscribe are dynamic placeholders that allow you to personalize and customize your email content. These attributes act as tokens or markers within the email templates. When the created mail is sent, these placeholders are replaced with real values retrieved from the database. This dynamic substitution ensures that each email sent through the application is tailored to the recipient and contains up-to-date information.
Email attributes are commonly used to insert recipient-specific data, such as names, addresses, account details, etc. into email templates.
You can easily include these attributes within the email content by enclosing the attribute within double curly brackets while setting up the email on Editor.
For example, if you include the attribute {{CouponDetails.GiftteeName}} in an email template, when the email is sent, this placeholder will be replaced with the actual name of the gift recipient.
Subscribe supports a range of predefined email attributes, and users can also create custom attributes to suit their specific needs. These attributes provide a powerful way to deliver personalized and engaging email communications to recipients. Below is a list of email attributes that you can use while configuring your email content.

Please note that this document is currently in progress
Trial-with-Payment subscriptions allow end-users to try the subscription for free before they decide whether they are going to purchase it.
Unlike traditional Trials (which have been redesigned as ), Trials with Payments have been introduced as a new Subscription Kind with the value ‘Trial’ for clients with NCS circulation system.
Please note that for now only digital subscriptions are supported. Print/hybrid are on the way
However, this feature lets a publication collect payment information like CC, Bank details when an end user subscribes to the Trial. The payment information is collected and only authorized for $1 without actually deducting any money from the subscriber’s account at the time of Trial purchase. The payment information is tokenized and submitted to NCS circulation system.
Publications can define a Trial duration in Days, Weeks or Months within the SolCon Application independent of the actual rate & term for that offer.
EZPay (Auto-renewal) is mandatory for Trial offers, hence at the end of trial period, a subscriber is charged for a standard subscription using the tokenized information.
Regardless of payment success/failure, when Trial End Date is reached, the subscription kind in Subscribe changes from Trial to Standard. The actual status of subscription, however, will depend on the payment status, it can be Active when payment is successful or Perm Stopped / In Grace depending upon Trial specific Grace period setup in NCS. For more details on Trial features within NCS, .
In Account Management a new banner has been added for Trial subscriptions as a reminder of Trial end date. It is displayed every time a subscriber logs in to Account Management till the Trial period ends. The user can close this banner if required using the X option.
In One CSR Portal a similar banner with a warning message is displayed above the tabs.

Day Pass subscriptions are low-cost, low-commitment digital subscriptions that grant users 1-Day premium access to Publications. If a user purchases a 'Day Pass' subscription today, they can access the premium content until midnight the next day. Currently, only the NCS circulation system supports Day Pass subscriptions.
The goal of this section is to explain how to configure a 'Day Pass' Subscription offer in the SolCon application.
Subscribe supports only digital-only day pass.
The validity of a Day Pass subscription is just 1 day. The subscription will expire by midnight of the following day of subscription purchase. This means, if the subscription was purchased on August 1st (regardless of the exact time), it will expire at 00:00 AM on August 3rd.
Day passes cannot be auto-renewed.
Day passes must be purchased in advance. Grace periods are not supported.
Day passes can have discounts, but the Rate type in NCS Circ should be set as 'Normal'. It should not be 'Reduced' or 'Promo rates'.
Business Rules must be configured in NCS to indicate whether the Single-Day Passes should be counted as one day or two in AAM reporting.
Single Day Pass subscriptions are counted as single-copy digital sales for AAM purposes by default. However, Day pass subscriptions have a 24-hour window and readers can typically access the website on two different days. Hence AAM also allows a Single Day Pass to be counted as two copies.
Day pass start is always a Campaign-code start, hence
'Day Pass' Campaign code should be configured in NCS Circ.
Campaign-code start feature should be turned ON. For more info:
To implement this feature, the following pre-requisites must be met:
Minimum Subscribe version: 3.17.0
Minimum NCS circ version: 2014.5

The goal of this section is to explain how to configure a frictionless checkout for Subscription Purchase in Naviga's Solicitor Concierge and CMS dashboard.
This checkout has several main advantages:
Make it easier for users to start a subscription online. Reduce the time it takes to start a subscription as well as the number of error states
PayWay hosted page can be customized (Set labels and placeholders' text, show\hide fields, added fields for zip code and phone number, display T&C of selected offer)
Consume billing information from the external sources (PayWay form, GooglePay, ApplePay) and pass it into POST /Subscriptions even if the billing address component doesn’t exist in presentation
The minimum Subscribe version required is 3.14
Client should be using Payway payment provider
For ZIP-only starts minimum NCS circ version is 2018.5 and the minimum CircPro version is 2021-3

subscription price, tax amount and total price can be shown at the Checkout step at the same time - please use the toggles in Sticky Note component: Pricing Amount Show, Pricing TaxAmount Show, Pricing TotalPrice Show
No action is required from the business user to support the new version of the Payway iFrame - all the fields in the CreditCardEdgil component should be automatically populated via a script being a part of the CMS database setup.

This feature is in its Beta version now.
Country-Only-Start is a new start flow designed exclusively for digital subscriptions, currently available for NCS Circ clients and supported by the payment vendors Cybersource and Payway.
The key feature of this flow is that it allows an end user to purchase a digital subscription with minimal input—only the first name, last name, email ID, and country name are required (all mandatory fields). This makes the Country-Only-Start flow quicker and more user-friendly than the standard new start flow, offering end users a simplified and efficient experience.
Note: If the Zip code field is added to the user input fields, the Country-only flow is transformed to a Zip-Only new start. With the Zip code field, the flow will no longer be a country-only start.
You can customize the look and feel of the Country-Only-Start flow in the CMS Presentation. Below is an example of a Country-Only-Start flow configured with the Default theme in the CMS Presentation.
