# Set Up Your Wine Club

## Generate recurring revenue with unique subscription offerings

**This feature is available with the following subscription plans. Merchants not on one of these plans will be automatically upgraded:** 

- Pro
- Expert

Once you have enabled Subscription Plans in your dashboard ([tutorial here](https://support.cityhive.net/portal/en/kb/articles/wine-clubs?hsLang=en)), it's time to configure each Wine Club.

#### [Setting up a Wine Club](https://support.cityhive.net/set-up-a-wine-club#set-up-wine-club)

1. **Begin on the 'Plans' tab**, then **click (+)** to create a new subscription  
   ![](https://support.cityhive.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-11-13%20at%206-59-17%20PM-png.png?width=655&height=28&name=Screenshot%202023-11-13%20at%206-59-17%20PM-png.png)
2. **Fill in the setup details** on the new subscription page  
     1. **Position** - If you have more than one club, choosing a position number will decide which club you would want to show first.
     2. **Is Active** - If you want it to be live and ready to sell on your website, check this box.
     3. **Cycle** - This determines when the subscription renews: monthly, quarterly, annually, etc.
     4. **Limited Cycle Enabled** - Check the box and leave the numbers alone if you want to enable the default version. This allows your customers to purchase the subscription as a gift, by setting a predetermined end date. For example, if the Cycle is set to Monthly, and you enable a 6 month limited cycle,  then a customer could gift their friend "six months' worth of wine" by choosing a six-cycle limit. ![](https://support.cityhive.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%2010-56-14%20AM-png.png?width=670&height=383&name=Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%2010-56-14%20AM-png.png)
3. **Scroll down to fill in the subscription info**  
     1. **Friendly Name** is the title of your wine club, which your customers will see.
     2. **Description** is where you tell the customer what they're getting (i.e. four bottles of wine, every month).
     3. **Cover Image** could be an image of a generic subscription offering, or you can change the image every cycle, when you change the specific products in the subscription. ![](https://support.cityhive.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%2010-59-12%20AM-png.png?width=670&height=482&name=Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%2010-59-12%20AM-png.png)
4. **Scroll down to fill in Billing and Pricing info**  
     1. **Charge Invoices Automatically** - Leave this checked. If un-checked, you will need to open the wine club in your dashboard each month, and click "charge" on each of your customers' invoices.
     2. **(Don't) Use Subscription Day** - Leave this box un-checked, so that all of your customers will be billed on the same day of the month.
     3. **Set a Billing Day of Month** on which all of your subscribers will be invoiced (typically the first of every month).
     4. **Set the Display Amount and Subtotal Amount** - these are typically identical and reflect the basic price of your wine club.
     5. **Set the tax amount** by calculating your sales tax rate multiplied by your subtotal amount.![](https://support.cityhive.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%2011-05-41%20AM-png-1.png?width=670&height=501&name=Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%2011-05-41%20AM-png-1.png)
5. **Add options, if desired**. You could break your wine club into two options: red wines versus white wines, for example. Or you could have a standard and a premium version, where the premium version has an additional charge (pictured in the example below).![](https://support.cityhive.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%2011-12-29%20AM-png.png?width=670&height=481&name=Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%2011-12-29%20AM-png.png)
6. **Choose your available Fulfillment Types and add any additional fees if relevant** 
     1. **Subtotal amount** is the cost of delivery or shipping, and the tax should be calculated by multiplying your sales tax rate by the delivery or shipping subtotal amount.
     2. **Take note** that the shipping price will override any integration that you have with FedEx or UPS. In other words, you can only offer flat-rate shipping on wine clubs.
     3. **Additional fees** can be used if you charge a convenience fee in your regular checkout.![](https://support.cityhive.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%2011-14-05%20AM-png.png?width=670&height=502&name=Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%2011-14-05%20AM-png.png)
7. **Scroll to the top and click 'Submit'**  to create the wine club plan  
   ![](https://support.cityhive.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-11-08%20at%2012-18-26%20PM-png-webp.webp?width=97&height=40&name=Screenshot%202023-11-08%20at%2012-18-26%20PM-png-webp.webp)
8. **Promote your new subscription service** within the plan page. You can send a marketing email to your entire email list, or send specific updates to your existing subscribers. Learn more about sending marketing emails [**here**](https://support.cityhive.net/portal/en/kb/articles/send?hsLang=en)**.**
