Plans Configuration

Overview

Your pricing plans are configured in a simple PHP array that’s easy to customize. This guide shows you exactly how to modify plans, add features, and display them beautifully in your application.

Plans Configuration File

Location: lang/en/prices.php This file contains all your pricing plans for different payment providers (Stripe, LemonSqueezy, Paddle).

Plan Structure

Each plan is an array with these fields:

[
    'name' => 'Starter',              // Plan display name
    'slug' => 'price_ABC123',         // Stripe Price ID
    'description' => 'For growing teams',  // Short description
    'price' => '29.99',               // Monthly price
    'interval' => 'month',            // Billing interval
    'features' => [...],              // List of features
    'bestseller' => true,             // Optional: Show as popular
]

Field Explanations

Required Fields

`name` (string)

The display name of the plan shown to users. Examples:

“Free”
“Starter”
“Professional”
“Enterprise”

`slug` (string)

For Free plans: Just use 'free'
For Paid plans: Must match your Stripe Price ID exactly
Format: price_1ABC...xyz from Stripe dashboard
Important: This is how the system knows which Stripe price to charge!

`description` (string)

A short description that appears under the plan name. Tips:

Keep it under 60 characters
Focus on who the plan is for
Be clear and benefit-focused

Examples:

“Perfect for individuals”
“For growing teams”
“Enterprise-grade features”

`price` (number or string)

The monthly price in your currency. Examples:

0 for free plans
'29.99' for $29.99/month
'99' for $99/month

`interval` (string)

The billing frequency. Options:

'month' - Monthly billing
'year' - Annual billing

Pro tip: Offer annual plans at a discount:

[
    'name' => 'Starter Annual',
    'slug' => 'price_annual_starter',
    'price' => '299.99',  // ~$25/month, saves $60/year
    'interval' => 'year',
],

`features` (array)

List of features included in this plan. Best Practices:

Start with “Everything in [Previous Plan]” for higher tiers
Lead with most valuable features
Use clear, benefit-focused language
Keep each feature to one line
Use action verbs where possible

Optional Fields

`bestseller` (boolean)

Shows a “Most Popular” or “Recommended” badge on the plan card.

'bestseller' => true,

Only set this on ONE plan (usually your middle tier).

Customizing Plan Display

Adding Annual Plans

Create discounted annual versions of your plans:

[
    'name' => 'Starter',
    'slug' => 'price_monthly_starter',
    'price' => '29.99',
    'interval' => 'month',
    // ... features
],
[
    'name' => 'Starter Annual',
    'slug' => 'price_annual_starter',
    'price' => '299.99',  // 2 months free
    'interval' => 'year',
    // ... same features
],

Adding Addon/Per-Seat Pricing

For usage-based or per-seat pricing:

[
    'name' => 'Pro',
    'slug' => 'price_pro',
    'price' => '49.99',
    'interval' => 'month',
    'features' => [
        'Base: 10 team members',
        '$5 per additional member',
        // ... other features
    ],
],

Then implement per-seat billing in Stripe with metered pricing.

Custom Plan Properties

Add any custom properties you need:

[
    'name' => 'Enterprise',
    'slug' => 'price_enterprise',
    'price' => 'Custom',  // Can be string for "Contact us"
    'interval' => 'month',
    'features' => [...],
    'contactSales' => true,  // Custom property
    'minSeats' => 50,        // Custom property
    'customOnboarding' => true,  // Custom property
],

Then handle these in your Livewire component or Blade view.

Feature Writing Tips

Good Feature Examples

✅ Clear and Benefit-Focused:

“Unlimited projects”
“Priority support (< 4hr response)”
“50GB file storage”
“Advanced analytics dashboard”
“SSO / SAML authentication”

❌ Vague or Technical:

“More stuff”
“Better features”
“API endpoints”
“Enterprise capabilities”

Using Icons with Features

In your Blade view, you can add icons:

@foreach ($plan['features'] as $feature)
    <div class="flex items-center gap-2">
        <svg><!-- checkmark icon --></svg>
        <span>{{ $feature }}</span>
    </div>
@endforeach

Displaying Plans

The plans are displayed via a Livewire component: Component: app/Livewire/Plans.php

public function render()
{
    $plans = __('prices.stripe');  // Gets your plans
    return view('livewire.plans', ['plans' => $plans]);
}

View: resources/views/livewire/plans.blade.php You can customize the view to match your design.

Multiple Billing Intervals

To let users toggle between monthly and annual:

1. Add Both Intervals to Config

'stripe' => [
    // Monthly plans
    ['name' => 'Starter', 'slug' => 'price_monthly', 'price' => '29.99', 'interval' => 'month'],
    // Annual plans
    ['name' => 'Starter', 'slug' => 'price_annual', 'price' => '299.99', 'interval' => 'year'],
],

2. Add Toggle in Livewire Component

public $billingInterval = 'month';  // or 'year'

public function render()
{
    $allPlans = __('prices.stripe');

    $plans = collect($allPlans)->filter(function ($plan) {
        return $plan['interval'] === $this->billingInterval;
    });

    return view('livewire.plans', ['plans' => $plans]);
}

3. Add Toggle in View

<div class="flex gap-4">
    <button wire:click="$set('billingInterval', 'month')">Monthly</button>
    <button wire:click="$set('billingInterval', 'year')">Annual (Save 20%)</button>
</div>

Testing Your Plans

Update the configuration file
Clear config cache: php artisan config:clear
Visit your pricing page: /pricing or wherever you display plans
Verify:
- All plans display correctly
- Prices are formatted properly
- Features lists look good
- “Subscribe” buttons work

Best Practices

Pricing Strategy

Three tiers is optimal - Free, Starter, Pro
Make middle tier “Most Popular” - Anchors customers there
Clear differentiation - Each tier should have obvious value jump
Price anchoring - Show higher tier to make middle seem reasonable

Feature Organization

Most important first - Lead with your best features
Cumulative value - “Everything in Starter plus…”
Specificity - “50GB storage” not “more storage”
Benefits over features - “Priority support” not “dedicated queue”

Updating Plans

When changing plans:

Update lang/en/prices.php
Create new prices in Stripe (don’t modify existing)
Update slug with new Price ID
Clear cache: php artisan config:clear
Test checkout flow
Existing subscriptions stay on old prices (grandfathered)

Next Steps
