Creating Addon

Control Panel allows you to extend your service plan offerings and accommodate additional features as and when available through the use of Addons. An addon enhances the capability of already created base plan through increase of features.

Note: This type of Addon is automatically provisioned & managed by the system. Hence, Control Panel takes care of all the resource utilization.

Example

If you have a Service Plan (base plan, initially created) of 5 mailboxes with storage quota of say 5GB each and you have created 5 mailboxes already. Now you require one more mailbox. But this is not possible since your base plan supports only 5 mailboxes and you have reached the limit.

This would mean, you either have to upgrade to a better service plan or edit the resources of existing one. Another way to extend the offering of same Service Plan (base plan) is to create an addon. You can sell addon separately under the same base plan. If you don’t have addon for Service Plan you can create one.

Now using the addon option you can easily move to the next level to enhance your Service Plan of 5 mailboxes to 6th mailbox as desired. Control Panel manages addons for you.

For creating an addon navigate to:

Note: You can edit add-on by clicking on edit link.
