What are Plans? {#vas-smb-plans-what-are-plans}
===============================================

Plans are re-usable billing templates that define the structure of recurring payments for your customers. Each plan specifies the amount, billing frequency, duration, and optional set-up fees that apply to customer subscriptions.  
Plans are templates, while *Subscriptions* are the active billing agreements with customers that use those templates. You can create a plan once and use it for multiple customers.
