After Multifrequenct is added to a component it can be easily added to a new or existing subscription. Multifrequency can also be used alongside the Custom Pricing feature. This will allow updates to current subscribers, so a custom component amount can be used to bill off the main product schedule.

Go to Billing > Subscriptions, and click Create New Subscription.
-
From the Create a Subscription page, create or select a Customer.

-
Scroll down to the Step 2 - Plan Configuration section, and click Select a Product.

Once you select the Product, add the Component with the Multifrequency.

Click Create Subscription.
Custom Pricing Components
- From the subscription summary page, go to the components menu.
- Select the three-dot menu next to the component that needs to be added and select "Update Quantity". (Please note: One-Time Quantity Components do not work with Multifrequency)
- To add a custom price and interval, select the "Change Pricing" button next to the desired price point.
- Then select the "Custom Pricing" option. This will display the component price creation along with the billing and invoicing Interval. Add these and select save.
From here, there are two options to explore pertaining to the "Set Up New Billing Period" section. The first would be to select the "Start now and align Billing Period Start Date with Product Charge Schedule" option from the two. This will allow for the usual proration options when changing a component.
If the "Set Custom Billing Period Start" is selected, then the component billing can be setup to charge on a different next billing date. This will be when an invoice will be issued for this component and billing will occur.
However, if the "Align with Upcoming Charge" is selected, then a list of upcoming charges will appear and the next billing date will align with them. This includes both products and other multifrequency components
