How to Use Special Prices for SaaS Sub-Accounts in Sparkforge

Special Prices for SaaS Sub-Accounts let Sparkforge agencies set a custom price during SaaS Mode activation, without creating duplicate Stripe products or editing master plans. Use them when manually converting an existing sub-account to SaaS Mode.

What Special Prices do

Special Prices override the fixed plan amounts in SaaS Configurator when you convert an existing sub-account to SaaS Mode. Instead of creating a temporary product or price in Stripe, you enter the negotiated amount and Sparkforge creates (or reuses) a hidden "special price" behind the scenes.

Why use Special Prices

• Custom deals on the fly: Offer promotional rates, enterprise discounts, or test new price points without editing master plans.
• Faster checkout: Stay inside Sparkforge's SaaS conversion wizard instead of jumping to Stripe.
• Metadata-aware reuse: Sparkforge reuses an existing special price if amount and billing period match, keeping the Stripe catalog tidy.

How to set up a Special Price

Quick path: Switch to SaaS flow

1. In Agency view, open Accounts, locate the client, click the three-dot menu, and choose Switch to SaaS.
2. Choose Customer already exists in Stripe, or add the customer.
3. On the Plan selection screen, click Create Special Price.
4. Enter the monthly or yearly amount you negotiated.
5. Confirm currency and billing interval.
6. Select the new Special Price and click Continue.
7. Review the subscription summary and click Activate.

Sparkforge provisions the SaaS plan immediately. The client stays in the same sub-account and is billed at the special rate.

Alternate path: Manage Client

Step 1: Open Manage Client

• From Agency View, open Sub-Accounts List.
• Select the sub-account and click Manage Client.

Step 2: Add a subscription

• Under the SaaS tab, select Add a Subscription.
• Choose the payment provider.
• Select an existing customer profile or create a new one.

Step 3: Create the Special Price

• In the Select Plan modal, click Create a Special Price under your desired plan.
• Enter amount, currency, and interval.
• Click Save Price.

The system checks for an identical existing special price (same product, currency, interval, amount). If one exists, it reuses it. Otherwise it creates a new one.

Step 4: Confirm subscription

• Confirm the plan with the Special Price applied.
• The subscription attaches to the sub-account at the special rate.
