## Creating Subscription Plans
## What are Subscriptions?
When users subscribe to your Discourse application, they are added to a user group. You can create new user groups or use existing ones. Of course, you should be careful what permissions you apply to the user group.
There are two core components to make subscriptions work for your Discourse application. These are **Products** and **Plans**.
A Product describes what the user gets when they subscribe. It has a name and description and is associated with a Discourse user group.
A Plan is how you charge your users for the Product. Plans have rates, billing intervals and trial periods. A Product may have multiple Plans. For example: a yearly and a monthly Plan. You can't change plans much once they are created but you can archive them and create new ones.
